By Ron Fraser ?You?ve come a long way, baby? ? so goes the 1989 Virginia Slims jingle for the ?women?s own? cigarette. The advertisement contained the usual warning about the contents of the cigarette package having the potential to cause death to the consumer.The same phrase from that ditty could readily apply to the rapid rise of the military power of the nation that instigated the most recent world war, its leadership at the time intent on pursuing the goal of global tyranny. But this particular package does not carry with it an explicit warning that its contents have the potential and proven history to pose death to countless millions. In fact, the world has been sold the message that its death-dealing potential is a thing of the past. This makes its return to favor ever so much more dangerous.The Bu...

2008-01-19 07:05:00 The Week in Review January 19, 2008 | From theTrumpet.comPresident Bush in the Middle East, race in Europe, chaos in Kenya, and more. Middle East U.S. President George W. Bush wrapped up his eight-day tour of the Middle East Wednesday. He has had little success in what appeared to be the main two goals of the trip: to create peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and to build an anti-Iran alliance among Gulf states. In the case of the peace process, the problem is that President Bush is using the same strategy that has been used for the past 14 years?and that has only ever made things worse. In the wake of his visit to Israel, Gaza erupted in violence and an Israeli political party resigned from the government. The nationalist Yisrael Beitenu party announced January 16 that it is pulling out of the coalition in protest of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert?s caving in to Bush?s pressure to talk to the Palestinians about land exchanges for peace.

There were dozens of them, jostling their way into sanctuary, elbowing past each other, just to creep closer to her. Even her last-minute, folded-hand prayers can?t be kept sacred. There can be no silent moments in a crowd; no silence, and no secrets. All this fresh, painful frailty costs her so much, but it lines their pockets very well. A kings ransom was paid for those tabloid-ready cheap shots of her with messy hair, tear-soaked eyes, and the half-smile of a desperate baby girl. ?I?m scared,? she told them yesterday, when they later mobbed her at co...

National and public TV broadcasters within the European Union are to be forced by means of this law to transmit at least own productions unencryptedly, the news service Satelli-Line reports. As a reason for the new law, the fact that more and more EU citizens change their residence is indicated. Abroad they often do no longer have the possibility to receive TV channels from their home, because these are encrypted, the service states.
