POPSMumbai Under Attack: November 28, 2008
35 photos-boston.com...Late Wednesday night, Mumbai, India found itself the target of a ferocious terrorist attack, and the situation remains unresolved even now, three days later. According to reports, upwards of 60 young men entered Mumbai in small inflatable boats on Wednesday night, carrying bags filled with weapons and ammunition, and spread out to nine locations to begin their attacks. Lobbing grenades and firing their weapons, they entered hotels, a railway station and several other buildings, killing scores and wounding even more. As of this moment, the identity of the attackers has yet to be definitively determined, though there are reports indicating some of the gunmen were Pakistani - at least nine of them have been killed, nine more arrested. As of this writing, there were a reported 151 people killed from 11 different countries - though nearly 100 were Indian. More than 300 injuries have also been reported - those numbers may yet rise as several hostage situations

POPSMarines kill Pirates Must be by pure luck that it wasn't the Cornwall, otherwise, we would probably be sending representations to Mogadishu - a couple of fat female sailors, some stoker with a duff ipod and a music teacher to teach the Royals to do the Oo-kee-ko-kee or simple simon said..."put yer hands in the air...

POPSGreenpease to Confront Japanese Whalers
The critics rarely know today's circumstance in Japan. I've eaten a piece of Whale mea only one time for twenty years, and in only a few restaurant whale is available. The clear thing is, whale meat is no longer eaten in everyday life. Come to Japan and you'll agree to this point. Anyway here we can see Greenpeace bases on "preservationism", not "conservationism". That is, whatever protocols around the whale use is and however the whale is used, they rationally disagree with killing whales itself. In this case, the interference of preservationist like NGO is thought to destabilise the whale regime, since this regime aims to establish the sustainable use of whale. Unlike Greenpeace, on the other hand, another NGO like WWF is thought to support this regime because they're conservationist. Same thing had been seen in CITES, Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wiled Fauna and Flora, aka Washington Convention, especially from, I remember, COP8-9.

POPSMysterious Spider Boat "An entirely unheard-of, twin-hulled watercraft with no markings is photographed by a bystander in the Port of Ilwaco on the Washington State coast. Those guarding it refuse to answer questions about what it is, or where it came from."
