What Age Have We Reached? | WebSiteWealth.biz: "It is hard to tell where we are right now in the greater scheme of things. My personal belief is that nations are beginning to fall. Relations between the United States, and nations like China and Russia are key to stopping the raging fires of the east.

Perhaps no one would have predicted where it would lead, yet the fall of Great Towers in our generation, has lead to an economic decline, as well as changing the alignment of the people. This is not a time to allow random elements to run their course.

We have all been distracted, yet now we must open our eyes. To do nothing is on par with fueling and fanning the flames which contain the seeds of the earths annihilation. There is nothing "good" about the world grinding to a standstill.

Yet all the signs are there, that we currently hover on the brink of annihilation"

THE DAILY STAR :: Opinion :: Commentary :: There are ways to avert a disastrous disarmament war with Iran

THE DAILY STAR :: Opinion :: Commentary :: There are ways to avert a disastrous disarmament war with Iran: "if the talks fail and military action against Iran becomes more likely, no one should be surprised. Over the past decade, a new kind of war has been invented: a war designed to stop a country from obtaining nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction.

The first “disarmament war” was the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Its goal, spelled out plainly by U.S. President George W. Bush’s administration to the Security Council and the U.S. Congress, was to destroy Iraq’s stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction and production facilities. As it turned out, no such stockpiles or facilities were found, and the war proved to be an exercise in bloody futility.

This experience illustrates one of the great drawbacks of the use of force as a tool of disarmament. An attack must be timed to perfection, and it must be launched after the WMD programs are in operation and evident, but before they have produced any weapons."

Bowing to pressure, Porsche joins Hyundai in ending business with Iran | Fox News

Bowing to pressure, Porsche joins Hyundai in ending business with Iran | Fox News: "United Against a Nuclear Iran. Iran’s two largest automakers, the Iran Khodro Group and the Saipa Group, are subsidiaries of the Iranian Development and Renovation Organization, the same government body involved in developing the regime’s nuclear and missile programs. Iran’s third largest automaker, the Bahman Group, is nearly half-owned by the Revolutionary Guard.

Iran’s auto industry, which has business relationships with Nissan, Fiat, Volvo and Peugeot, employs thousands of workers and exports vehicles to more than 30 countries. Porsche, which just last Friday joined Hyundai in agreeing to pull out of Iran, reportedly sold $17 million worth of cars through its dealership in Tehran in just the past few months. A spokesperson for the German automaker confirmed to FoxNews.com the company's intention to leave the country."

Barak: Israel made no promises not to attack I... JPost - Defense

Barak: Israel made no promises not to attack I... JPost - Defense: "postponing the talks by five weeks presents Iran with a prize, and the opportunity to continue to develop its nuclear program.

Addressing the videotape of of Lt.-Col. Shalom Eisner, the IDF officer filmed slamming his M16 into the face of a Danish activist, Barak said such behavior was "unacceptable."

According to the defense minister, Eisner must be allowed to present his side, and the IDF was correct in suspending him as an initial response. Barak emphasized that Eisner's actions do not match the IDF's values, and require a full investigation"
