It is very difficult to understand the glee on Amrozi.

I recommend that you ask Diogenesis to be added to his ping list...the photos he finds and posts are the best window on the world around...always very timely and helpful in keeping a grip on what's unfolding.

Takes a little while to load on a dialup connection, but always well worth the wait.

I know you're a long time lurker, but welcome to FR anyhow!! :-)

Where are Amnesty International, the World Council of Churches and the European Union? Or is it OK with the eurotrash to kill little kids with pacifiers so long as they're Jewish???

In Kabul, at Kabul University, students violently protested. They want more free food and electricity for their dormitories. Their violent behavior is quite different from the women who appear to be much more serious and must have been studying.

Sounds like Michigan State.

Hey, is the Chief a Shriner? Check out his pendant.

Those Kabul students look pretty damn old for university. Then again, so do a lot of the permanent undergrads at Berkeley, etc. The LA Times played the Kabul riots up big in today's edition, while ignoring virtual insurrection in Iranian universities for the past year. No surprise.

Thanks for ending with the heartwarming story about the Comanche codetalkers. Great stuff.

That means they are treating him too well in the prison. He appears well-fed, vigorous and healthy. They should give him a chance. Dark, dank, alone and hungry let him be a while.

OTH, another sometimes good philosophy is feed him well, let him show everyone what a silly brat of a kid he is. Let him hang himself. This is the merciless way.

From the university protest in Kabul- the one fellow was using an RPG for crowd control. And the anarchists here think they have it bad if they get a little pepper spray?

The chief is smiling. This photo looks more like the police is honored to pose with the perp than triumphant they got him.

The "Religion of Peace" apparently advocates killing people like this.

Charles Chibitty, the last surviving World War II Comanche code talker...

My section chief in the Army as an E-7 Comanche. He was 6' and thin as a rail, maybe 130#. Wiry as terrier, He could lift a GP medium over his head without any strain. He had been a Navy code clerk for five years before joining the Army and was rated as a typist at 105 WPM. In those days of mechanical typewriters he was machine limited. He could type faster than the recoil rate of the machine. He was also one of the nicest people I ever met in my life.
