What is the date we're all worried about:
the 27th or 29th?
If you have not been able to see this, we must! It's as if a TM'r made certain it was aired and Senator Thompson plays the president. It was not made for entertainment nor a series or documentary, after watching it to me it's sole purpose was to 'inform'
Last Best Chance
This film is based on facts. Some events depicted may have already happened. Some may be happening now. All may happen in the near future if we don't act now to prevent them.
Last Best Chance was produced with support from the Nuclear Threat Initiative, with additional funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
“Last Best Chance can increase awareness of the global nuclear terrorism threat. The war on terrorism will not be won until every nuclear stockpile, wherever it may be in the world, is secured and accounted for to stringent and transparent standards.”
–Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN)

It's the 29th JP....'Night of Determination'
Lailat al Qadr... the Night of Power (also translated Night of Determination)
Islam holds that this marks the night when the Qu'ran was first revealed to Mohamed.
Muslims believe that this is the night that the fate of the world for the coming year is determined. It is considered to be better than 1000 nights.
(Side note: I've wondered for years whether this was the origin of 1001 Nights - Tales of the Arabian Nights - or Al Laila wa Laila - 1000 nights and a night - but I digress.)
Some Muslims celebrate it on the 27th day of Ramadan; no where in the Qu'ran is the exact day specified, although the Prophet Mohamed is believed to have said it falls within the last 10 days. When I was in Cairo, I was taught that it was one of the odd numbered days during the last 10 days.
