Obama-Hillary ignore freedom of expression in Iran
The article here is good, but even better is the oddball illustration of Obama and Hillary as Hindu gods (which can be clicked on for full size).

Syria: Assad says Golan Heights will be freed by Žpeace or warŽ
[ADN Kronos] Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has launched a warning to Israel, saying the disputed Golan Heights will be liberated by "peace or through war".
Not much gets by old Pencilneck, does it?
"There is no escaping the fact that the day will come when we will free the Golan, through peace or through war, said Assad in an interview with Qatari daily al-Sharq, in light of the swearing in of Israel's new right-leaning government led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Unless ou don't, of course. To date you haven't.
"From the war of Palestine (in 1948) to the occupation of the Golan (in the Six Day War in 1967) people are becoming more hostile towards Israel. There may come a generation that is unwilling to talk peace."
Every one since 1948...
Assad also said that Israel does not want peace, and instead said 'resistance' was the alternative. "This enemy does not want peace. What is the alternative? The parallel route to the peace process is resistance. The Israeli will not come by his own will, so there is no alternative but for him to come from fear."
And hasn't that worked well, lo, these 61 years?
He also accused all Israeli governments, both from the liberal left and the conservative right of carrying out violent policies against the Palestinians. "All Israeli governments are the same: Ariel Sharon carried out a massacre in Palestine, and [Ehud] Barak aided the war in Gaza in that there is no difference between the right and the left in Israel."
