    The Pas­sion of The Decider
    By Sid­ney Blumenthal

    The pres­i­dent doesn’t care that he is reviled. He is a mar­tyr, and some­day all will see his glory. Mean­while, he’s got Karl doing his dirty work.

    United States of Israel?
    By Robert Fisk
    April 27, 2006

    When two of America’s most dis­tin­guished aca­d­e­mics dared to sug­gest that US for­eign pol­icy was being dri­ven by a pow­er­ful ‘Israel Lobby’ whose influ­ence was incom­pat­i­ble with their nation’s own inter­ests, they knew they would face alle­ga­tions of anti-Semitism. But the episode has prompted America’s Jew­ish lib­er­als to con­front their own com­pla­cency. Might the tide be turning?

    Pres­i­dent Ahmedine­jad is now threat­ened with assas­si­na­tion by Israeli-sponsored state ter­ror­ists. The threat against a demo­c­ra­t­i­cally elected head of state passed with­out con­dem­na­tion in West­ern capitals.

    Putin: Iran has right to develop civil nuclear indus­try
    April 27, 2006

    Russia’s Pres­i­dent Vladimir Putin said, “Our posi­tion is clear and well-known. We are against the pro­lif­er­a­tion of weapons of mass destruc­tion, and this applies to Iran, but we believe that Iran must have an oppor­tu­nity to develop advanced tech­nolo­gies and the nuclear power indus­try for civil purposes,”

    China unbend­ing on Iran
    By Chris Buck­ley
    April 27, 2006

    China gave no sign it was ready to line up behind West­ern pow­ers seek­ing sanc­tions against Iran on Thurs­day, the day before a key U.N. report on Tehran’s nuclear activ­i­ties, but ana­lysts said it was unlikely to block their way.

    Test blast in Nevada
    By Robert Gehrke
    April 18, 2006

    A pow­er­ful blast sched­uled at the Nevada Test Site in June is designed to help war plan­ners fig­ure out the small­est nuclear weapon able to destroy under­ground tar­gets. And it has caused a con­cern that it sig­nals a renewed push toward tac­ti­cal nuclear weapons.

    Jon I took your Ara­bic sen­tence and trans­lated it back to Eng­lish, this is what I got:

    Work Gramer approval, but lit­tle is.

    Now I could bet that is not what you first wrote in English :)


    Its seems the work the agree­ment gram­mar and but lit­tle who is

    This is a trans­la­tion word by word, its not so easy to fig­ure out what you are try­ing to say as you can see :)

    What was it you wrote?

    Jon, Nadia

    Thank you, I tested it, it’s not very good but at least peo­ple can get an idea about the trans­lated subject

    Lady­Bird… please delete the note from the Wannabe “jon” above. Sorry pal, only room for one of me in this uni­verse. :-D

    Nadia… what I said was some­thing to the nature of “the trans­la­tor works pretty well from Ara­bic into Eng­lish, but the gram­mar is a lit­tle bit off”. I guess their trans­la­tion from Eng­lish into Ara­bic is not quite as func­tional as the Ara­bic to Eng­lish. The gram­mar was off when I trans­lated one Ara­bic page, but it was plenty read­able. In fact, I’d have to say that the trans­la­tor did a much bet­ter job from Ara­bic to Eng­lish than most Amer­i­cans do just trans­lat­ing their Eng­lish thoughts into Eng­lish text. ;-)

    Hi Nadia… I heard that you’ve been feel­ing a lit­tle down lately. Hope you’re get­ting back to fight­ing form, because I’ll be on vaca­tion this com­ing week and Charles is going to need some­one to keep him in line! ;-)

    Thank you! I’ll try. It is some­what of a work­ing vaca­tion. I have to start prepar­ing to move cross-country at the end of the month. I’m going to infil­trate a red state. ;-)
