The following are excerpts from an Iranian sci-fi film titled "The Land of Wishes," part of a series, which aired on Iranian Channel 1 on October 20, 2006. In it, an evil queen, adorned with a large Star of David and sitting on a throne in the "Black House" (which is also marked with a Star of David) engages in a battle of "virtual warriors" with a young girl who seeks to free the masses the

Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khameini has his own website ( better brush up on your Farsi if you don't like the fuzzy-wuzzy 'religion of peace' English version) and he answers your most pressing questions about Ramadan.First question:"If somebody masturbates during the month of Ramadan but without any discharge, is his fasting invalidated?"First, Ramadan is only sun-up to sun-down ...

Oliver Stone blasted President Bush Thursday, saying he has "set America back 10 years." I assume he means because of things in Iraq. But 10 years ago Clinton was President and Oliver Stone still had some chance of making a decent movie. Is he sure that's such a bad thing?Nothing makes me giggle more than aging Hipsters who stop inhaling long enough to say really funny things.

Canadians can say almost anything about Americans - and I think they get some kind of tax rebate if they say insulting things about President Bush - but they'd better not make jokes about people in the mid-east.The chairman of the publicly funded Canadian Broadcasting Corp., Guy Fournier, found himself in deep doo-doo when he talked about bowel movements and Lebanese law.

Generally speaking, if you want to look like you are 'cooperating' in the war on terror, you have two basic options.If you are Hezbollah, for example, you agree to a cease-fire with Israel and then immediately create a splinter group with a different name that continues to bomb Jews. This is not any surprise to people but it makes the U.N. feel like they accomplished something.If you are a

Democrat Senators decide Saddam viewed al-Qaida as a threat. Which means he couldn't possibly have accepted help, planning or strategies from him. I know, I know, a big revelation that someone chose to believe a dictator's statements rather than the evidence.In other news, Saddam also stated that everyone loved him ( after all, he did get over 99% of the vote ) and that he never killed anyone.

I guess they didn't like me making fun of them for insisting that there be a UN-enforced cease-fire, bleating about their strong ties to Lebanon ( though they let Syria make it a vassal and Iran funnel money and bombs in )and then adding only 200 troops to the cause. Now they have increased it to 2000 total. Still well below Italy's contribution but at least France looks slightly less

Is the U.S. better off with the Middle East as it is now than as it was before 2001?After September 11, there were only seven sovereign countries in the Middle East that posed a real danger to the policies and, in some cases, the security of the United States—Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.

Paris Jewish pupil beaten up by Muslims A Jewish pupil attending a highly rated Paris secondary school was repeatedly beaten up by Muslim fellow pupils. "We'll finish Hitler's job," they reportedly yelled at him. The headmaster moved the Jewish boy to another class within the 1,800 pupils secondary school. The victim is currently under tranquilizers, according to the French weekly "Le Journal

An Arab Woman Driving Is Too High A Price FOr Saving Lives, Some Arabs Say Saba Abu Lisan, a young Saudi woman, rescued seven people, including her two sisters, after the Al-Muhaya Compound bombing in Riyadh on Nov. 8. Wounded and bleeding herself, she transported the victims to King Faisal Specialist Hospital in her father’s Mercedes. Seems like a no-brainer, right? This woman is a hero. Not

British Paper Invents Facts, Says US Will Turn Over Military Control To The EU The British will write anything to sell a paper.

Arafat Says Israel Has Right To "Live In Security" That's the closest he'll come ( in Arabic ) to saying that Israel should not be driven into the sea. Of course, his stance has recently been that 'security' means letting 4 million Arabs take over Israel. "The time has come for us to get out of this spiral, this destructive war, that will not bring security to you or us," added the terrorist

BBC Denies Pro-Arab Bias, Hires 'Mid-East Monitor' Not that I think a British Royal Charter buys objectivity anyway, but the BBC can't turn a blind eye to charges of bias any more.

Shocking News That Arafat is Funnelling Palestinian Money Into His Own Accounts CBS' "60 Minutes" is going to claim what many have known for a long time -- that Yassir Arafat, who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, transfers $100,000 a month from funds directed to the Palestinian Authority to his wife Suha.

Gunfire on Lebanon Border It's no surprise that the pullout of Israel from Lebanon in 2000 made the tiny country north of Israel a de facto Syrian province. The Syrians quickly moved in and established control ... and terrorism has been exported again ever since. When Israel attacked Syrian terrorist camps, Hezbollah guerillas started shooting from Lebanon, killing one soldier. Hezbollah

Israel Attacks Terrorist Outpost In Syria -- Arab World 'Alarmed' They should be alarmed. Until two years ago, Europe refused to even acknowledge that people who committed terrorist attacks are terrorists.

Mexico Worries About American Backlash Mexico seems to forget it is not the world superpower and thus not a target for petty dictators trying to make names for themselves. Likewise Mexico seems to forget military alliances do not apply to decisions the UN agrees with ... What Mexico does seem to think is true is 'Hollywood logic' ... they think, like actors, that you can use your position in

Iraqi Soldiers, Unaware War Has Not Started, Begin Suddendering The British 16th Air Assault Brigade were doing a routine weapons test in Kuwait and were suddenly surprised to find Iraqi soldiers walking toward them, hands in the air. The British soldiers told them they had not attacked, it was just a test. Then they had to send them back home to wait for the real fight. Meanwhile, the French

Blix Leaves Iraqi Chemical Bomb Drones Out Of UN Presentation But then buries it in the 170-page written report. If you remember, this is what Powell discussed at his UN presentation a month ago. Still, the Security Council does not see that a crazed maniac like Hussein would ever use those drones against the US. "We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of

Hussein Gives Western Uniforms To Soldiers So They Can Attack Iraqi Civilians All that's needed is a gullible CNN cameraman. "Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has ordered the procurement of military uniforms identical down to the last detail to those of the United States and United Kingdom forces" now gathered in the Gulf, said James Wilkinson, a senior spokesman for Central Command. "Saddam

French Still Selling Military Parts to Iraq Or so an intelligence official told them, says the Washington Times. I hate unnamed sources ... the scourge of Woodward and Bernstein. Still, this sounds like it might be true because it's so very French. Iraq has more than 50 Mirage F-1 jets and an unknown number of Gazelle attack helicopters, according to the London-based International Institute

Iraq Diplomat Has Hissy Fit Toward Kuwaiti, Calls Him A 'Monkey' "Shut up you minion, you (U.S.) agent, you monkey. You are addressing Iraq," he said. "You are insolent. You are a traitor to the Islamic nation," Ibrahim spat out as Qatar's Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani tried to shut him up. Whaaaaa...? You mean the Religion of Peace thinks that all Muslim nations must side against all

Palestinian Suicide Bomber Manages To Kill Students 15 people in Haifa total ... most of them students. Israeli students are the most likely to be sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but that doesn't matter to Palestinians, whose destructive intent is based on culture and racial and religious hatred rather than 'war' or achieving a realistic goal. "Once again the bestial hand of Palestinian

Ahmad Berwari of Iraq: The Germans Make No Sense Ahmad Berwari, the German representative of Iraqi Kurdish opposition group PUK, had this to say about German unwillingness to oust Husseinin Der Spiegel: "Dies ist eine besondere deutsche Sicht von einer Regierung, deren Wandel wir nicht verstehen.

Human Shields Leave Iraq Citing Safety Concerns See, these nugs made a couple of errors. First, they thought they would actually be protecting civilians and instead Iraq placed them near military targets. Second, they assumed since the only people they talk to are pro-Iraq that everyone is pro-Iraq ... they thought that there would be this mass surge of people doing the same thing as them.

Iraq Destroys 4 out of 30,000 Missiles: French Claim The World Is Most Peaceful Since 1938 Yep, they did it. Hussein let inspectors watch as four missiles were destroyed by bulldozers thus wiping out his 25 years of genocide, terror, murder, intolerance and hatred in the eyes of the world. The sprawling missile complex on which the destruction occurred passed underneath the notice of the

Syria Holds Corrupt Elections: Somehow the BBC Considers This 'Historic' Another Arab dictator holding fake elections is not 'historic' ... even if the BCC continues to reinvent the word. It's the same old Arab dictatorship. 'President' Bashar Assad, who took power in 2000 from his father, runs the National Progressive Front. The Ruling Socialist Arab Baath Party (SABP) and six other allied

Fire Hits Library In Alexandria, Egypt: Saddam Hussein Does Not Claim It Was "The Will of God" Nor did any Christian world leader claim it was God smiting down the corrupt when an Iranian airliner crashed two weeks ago. Only the September 11th terrorist attack and the Columbia were cited by Hussein as "The Will of Allah" and basically their guy smiting the infidels. Strange how that works.

New Europe Responds To Chirac Excerpts from European newspapers below: Czech Republic, Mlada Fronta Dnes: "If Chirac wants to revive the spirit of Leonid Brezhnev and renew the doctrine of limited sovereignty, which means fewer rights for some countries, it is his own affair." Latvia, Neatkariga Rita Avize: "All right, Monsieur Chirac. Perhaps we are poor. Perhaps we were not raised

Iran Moves Troops Into Iraq Where are the European protesters? Where is the talk of multi-lateralism? No blood for oil? Where is the UN? It's an easy answer. The Iranians do not care what the UN thinks ... look to 2004, when Europeans are telling us we should go into Iraq to drive out the Iranians and restore Hussein to power. Article Here
