POPS"Why I threw the shoe," by Muntazer al-Zaidi From the piece: "When I threw the shoe in the face of the criminal, George Bush, I wanted to express my rejection of his lies, his occupation of my country, my rejection of his killing my people. My rejection of his plundering the wealth of my country, and destroying its infrastructure. And casting out its sons into a diaspora."

POPSAfghanistan: Bill Passed Into Law Allowing Men to Starve Their Wives If They Refuse to Have Sex.... The original bill allowed a husband to rape his wife if she refused to have sex and western leaders were united in pressuring Karzai to scrap it. What are the odds our fearless leaders stay silent on this equally evil "compromise?"..... Just ahead of this Thursday's Afghan presidential election, human rights groups suggest the timing is no accident. The Koran is the sole source of legislation in Afghanistan, so sorry dhimmis, this has everything to do with Islam... ZIP H/T:Jake

POPSAgain: One, Two, Three, What are we fighting for? I thought kicking out the Taliban was supposed to bring in more freedom and democracy. Now, the man we put in power is using that to take more power away from women. Who is in charge and what are we fighting for? Is it time to go but we don't know how to say: Good night, fairwell, you are on your own.

POPSBye, Bye Babylon Looking back over six years of good intentions, tragic errors, generosity, arrogance, partisan vituperation, painful deaths and ultimate vindication, two things strike me: the ever-resisted lesson that human affairs are more complex than academic theories claim, and the simple truth that most human beings prefer a measure of freedom to immeasurable repression. Now the symbolism of our troops withdrawing from Iraq's cities is richer than Washington grasps. Mesopotamia created urban culture: Ur, Babylon, Nineveh and countless lesser-known sites are where humans first worked out ways to live together in close quarters in large numbers. The coming wave of terror will strike cities that make Baghdad seem a youngster. The "cradle of civilization" is rising from the grave again. Yes, sectarianism, old grievances and the greed for power may deliver future crises -- even an eventual civil war.

POPSIran Documentaries Right now, there are massive protests in the streets of Tehran , calling the latest election victory of Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a fraud. America has a long, complex history with Iran. Did you know the CIA overthrew the democratically elected president of Iran in the 1950s? Did you know that after Sept 11th, Iranians in Tehran marched in the streets chanting "Death to Terrorists"? Did you know that Iran assisted the US Invasion of Afghanistan? Iran is an ancient, complex culture. In many way, culturally the West has more in common with Shia Iran than we do with Sunni Saudi Arabia. Remember, al Qaeda is a Sunni group, and they consider the Shia to be heretics. They Iranian theocracy is no peach, but A: They are rational and survival-oriented in a way that Sunni terrorists are not. B: Iran has a massively YOUNG population who are on the 'net. They are not fanatic America haters.

POPSMisguided Rhetoric Krauthammer concludes: Creating false equivalencies is not moral leadership, but moral abdication. And hovering above it all, above country and history, is a sign not of transcendence but of a disturbing ambivalence toward one's own country.
