A call to protest on Quds Day:
-------------------------TeaAtTrianon discusses "Los Patricios", the Irish deserters who joined with the Mexicans to stop America from stealing their land.
-------------------
Sister Mary Martha discusses the Devil..
-------------------------
More on the Maya from USAToday: the question on why they abandoned their cities remains unsolved...
-------------------
The ProtestantWork Ethic is spreading in China...
here in the Philippines, a committed Protestant is a better employee, because he is less likely to steal. Catholics figure they are part of the family, and they need something, so they're sure you won't mind if they borrow it...
----------------------------
Heh. Why Catholics don't understand economics...
Because they are still stuck in the Middle Ages, before Calvin made it okay to be honest and get rich?
------------------------
Forget the fake statistics: StrategyPage has the real details on Iraqi Deaths:
About 100,000 Iraqi civilians died, but over a third of these were members of terrorist groups (mostly Sunni, including al Qaeda). Another ten percent were members of various anti-terrorist militias.... Most of the civilians were killed by terrorists, most of the terrorist deaths were caused by American troops.
So yes, a terrible war...but not as bad as earlier reports, such as the Lancet which exaggerated problems due to sampling errors, and included crime and deaths from degraded infrastructure.
