Iraq elections are really crucial. but the question is, whoever wins, what can they do to unite all for the common good?

The roman catholic priests/bishops/etc were always controversial from way way back. Hypocrites? Real events expose them for what they are.

What does the US congress gain from declaring genocide?

Well, anyway time to rest, refresh this weekend.

Have a nice weekend. watching the Oscars.

Hi,

Belive me, I undrestand totaly your reaction when you realise that your TV wasn´t working. I would react at the same way but the difference is , you get panic because its an instrument that you work with an it´s a part of your job. But I get panic because I am a News addict!
But TV /News addiction is certainely not funniest and healthiest as sex addiction when I compares my addiction to someone like Tiger Woods!

I wonder if Iraqi People have a positive vision for their future? I don’t see it for this generation, and I wouldn’t blame them if they don’t see it either. Its difficult, with all that has been happening in Iraq, to see a thin light on end of the tunnel called peace.

"The Hurt Locker" was the only Oscar nominated film I was able to watch till now, and I thought it was a great film. Even if Avatar is a great film, there are lots of techs things involved, that makes me somehow skeptical about it. I admire techs but I'm more overwhelmed by a great script, a finer or original story telling (that means a great direction), beautiful cinematography and unique performances.

And speaking of “The Hurt Locker”, I'm curious how CNN correspondents, that know the Iraq conflict “with their hands” think of it?
You didn't mention actors but I do. 😉 Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep would be great winners. Besides I love Meryl winning speeches.
Meryl should change her name for Meryl Again. (a weak joke, I know). She must be in World Guinness of Records by now.
But she is a fabulous actress and delightful woman. No one makes stars like that anymore.

Addictions related to work along with a crowded work schedule a person undergo changes the way you live when you reaches retirement age from active work. It happens usually to every body as it had happen to me ten years ago after working for forty years as a family bread winner. By that time I had two of my kids graduated in computer Engineering and working in the computer industry. My learning addictions at that time attracted me towards computer addiction and Internet browsing for many hours daily. Now I am addicted to living in an Internet addicted world.

It looks like the clear WINNER in the Iraqi Election is IRAN.

After removing the greatest enemy that Iran ever had, Saddam Hussein, it appears that America has handed Iraq to Iran on a silver platter. Recently several Big Oil corporations signed agreements and paid for major leases on numerous huge untapped oil fields in Iraq which appears to be the original reason why America attacked Iraq in the first place. Now that those Big Oil contracts are signed, its time for America to pull its troops out of Iraq.

Ironically, the original reason why the CIA overthrew the Democratically elected president of Iran in the early 1950's was because the Iranian parliament wanted to renegotiate its percentage on the Oil removed from its oil fields. At that time they were only receiving a mere 15%!!! Instead of negotiating a fair return, the CIA destroyed their entire Democratically elected government and installed the vicious dictatorship of Shah of Iran.
