POPSWar is absurd, says Russian pilot shot down over Georgia Surely he was tortured or waterboarded and forced to say this. And these guys seem kinda' old and I read that the planes were also. Maybe Russia is using up it's antiques and saving their prime pilots and weaponry for some other more serious take-overs.

POPSChina 'is fuelling war in Darfur' Another country making a mockery of the UN. One wonders why they are not making a greater effort to reinvent the UN as an effective body. Greed, corruption?

POPSAnother Second Life resource... I am wondering where the market is for these services. If you have spent any amount of time in Second Life you will quickly realize everyone and their cousin is a consultant for Second Life. If you ask a consultant who their target is, they always want to bring in Big Corporate. My question is: Why? Are these consultants truly listening to their market? From what I am seeing, those interested in Second Life are there because they enjoy the environment. That is the fun of Second Life-getting in there and doing it yourself. My advice to Big Corporate: be very aware of intellectual property laws. Read Linden Research Labs fine print.

POPSBarak: Only deterrent military power will bring peace As if Israel is not already top-heavy with the most sophisticated weaponry and accompanying connivance ever known to the human race, including 150 nuclear bombs, its head-of-state don't think Israel has enough. Barak's statement is just one of the many illustrations of a very mentally ill society that thinks that gunpower will exonerate them from all the butchering, slaughtering, torturing, ethnic cleansing, stealing and any and every crime against humanity. If his statement is the rule of humanity then all gangsters and brutal dictators have been morally correct all along.

POPS60th anniversary: BERLIN Blockade / Airlift Something BIG that Americans really could be proud of ... if only. It is ironic now that the great BLOCKADE BUSTERS of 1948 are now the principles in the implementation of a similar BLOCKADE of Gaza, supporting THE fascist Zionist power! Now Russia is a reluctant co-conspirator with the US, the EU and UN party to this pending atrocity against the democratically elected power.

POPSThe Israeli "Dry Run"On Iran's Nuclear Facilities
Looks like there would be a side benefit from an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities: the blind, toothless UN atomic "watchdog" -- Mohamed El Baradei -- promised to resign if Iran is targeted. US officials reported on Friday that more than 100 Israeli F-16s and F-15s staged a complex operation over the Mediterranean during the first week of June. The aircraft traversed more than 900 miles, about the distance from Israel to Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility; the exercise also tested the refueling of planes and helicopters tasked with rescuing downed pilots. El Baradei wasn't pleased. He warned that any attack on Iran would turn the entire Middle East "into a fireball." Russia's response: as Iran's preeminent nuclear technology supplier, Russia is concerned with its cash flow. It also warned Israel not to attack. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov instructed Israel not to use force, claiming there is no proof Iran is trying to acquire atomic weapons.

POPSThe eye of the hurricane "...All the while scientists are monitoring their instruments and taking readings. After running a transect through the hurricane, the plane comes about and makes another penetration. A few more penetrations and the P-3 returns to home base, refuels, and prepares for another mission into the hurricane the next day, all in the name of science and trying to help make better forecasts and predictions for the people of the United States and Caribbean ..
