The real war was not with Lebanon, it shoudl be with Iran. Why is Israeli media intent on dragging and destroying Olmert over pulling out of Lebanon? That decision is in fact a very good decision. It is time Israel (and the world) focus on Iran. This nation (Iran) is the real cause of Hezbollah's strength and arrogance , the conflicts within the middle east and soon they could have nuclear weapons. Lets not get bogged down in Lebanon as it is not the real problem. The real problem and the real solution is dealing with IRAN.
I've been told by many a collegiue tha to an outsider, the manner in which this war was conducted reflects panic more than military strategy. Using cluster bombs in civilian areas has unfortunately affected Israel's reputation. Israel has effectively lost this battle.
I don't agree that Israel is alone. Many non-Jews in the US understand that Israel is simply fighting an early battle in the coming greater Mideast War. People in the West must understand that this is a fight to the finish, just as WWII was a fight to the finish. Civilians who tolerate armed combatants in their midst will have to be killed along with the combatants. The Allies did it in WWII and brought a quick and relatively merciful end to resistance. The West must adopt these tactics, now. Forget the media's squeamishness and its focus on victims.
The time is coming for the world to unite behind Israel. Not just jews and christians but importantly Muslims who have a desire and stake in a real peaceful tollerant future.
Ever wondered how much time you spend blogging, and how much you could be earning if you were working and being paid?... I've done the maths on the bunch of blogs I write and its worrying. I dont want to sell out and sell advertising space, but i'd like to earn a few bucks while I type.
A new service has hit the web which may just do this, Ontok. This is a pretty cool service for bloggers. I came across it whilst surfing the web and I'm just experimenting with it now. In essence ONTOK HIGHLIGHTER helps you monetize your blog without compromising your blogging integrity. It works a bit like AdSense whereby paid ads are displayed when a user hovers over a word or phrase in your blog.
I've tried a few ways to make some extra bucks for my blogging time but none really pay, this one could be the exception. I like the way ads are only shown when someone hovers over a word rather than the others where ads / banners takeover the look and feel of a blog.
Check my next blog submission where i'll have this activated.... So far from the examples I've seen and the demo on the ONTOK site, it looks pretty clean and the revenues are quite good.
At last a decent way to make some money whilst blogging !!
Check out the ONTOK product overview I've added below. Go to their site and check the demo's. I really think this might take off big time.

The debate over profiling airline passengers revived after the thwarted Islamist plot to bomb 10 airplanes in
Although there has been some progress since the attacks of September 11, 2001, most involves the scrutiny of all travelers' actions. For example, in 2003, the Transportation Security Administration, charged with protecting American airplanes, launched a passenger profiling system known as Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques, or SPOT, now operating in twelve U.S. airports.
Adopting techniques used by the U.S. Customs Service and by Israeli airport security, SPOT is "the antidote to racial profiling," TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis, said. It discerns, she said, "extremely high levels of stress, fear and deception" through "behavioral pattern recognition." SPOT agents observe passengers moving about the airport, with TSA agents looking for such physical symptoms as sweating, rigid posture, and clenched fists. A screener then engages "selectees" in conversation and asks unexpected questions, looking at body language for signs of unnatural responses. Most selectees are immediately released, but about one-fifth are interviewed by the police.
After the
The airport disruptions following the thwarted
This argument is gaining momentum. A recent poll found that 55% of Britons support passenger profiling that takes into account "background or appearance," with only 29% against. Lord Stevens, the former chief of Scotland Yard, has endorsed focusing on young Muslim men. The Guardian reports that "some EU countries, particularly
One politician in Wisconsin and two in
Three conclusions emerge from this discussion. First, because Islamist terrorists are all Muslims, there does need to be a focus on Muslims. Second, such notions as "Muslim-only lines" at airports are infeasible; rather, intelligence must drive efforts to root out Muslims with an Islamist agenda.
Third, the chances of Muslim-focused profiling being widely implemented remain negligible. As the same Wall Street Journal editorial notes, "the fact that we may have come within a whisker of losing 3,000 lives over the Atlantic still isn't preventing political correctness from getting in the way of smarter security."
I predict that effective profiling will only come into effect when many more Western lives, say 100,000, have been lost.

The Europeans and their Muslim allies should understand that boycotts work both ways. When we said NEVER AGAIN, we meant it.
We continue to call for a complete boycott of travel and products from the following countries
Remember, every time you buy a bottle of Evian, a Carlsberg product, a Spanish melon, a Godiva chocolate, a Dior lipstick, a Gucci bag, or a German kitchen appliance, you are financing the next Muslim mass murderer.
The European Union gives over $10 million per month to the Palestinian Authority, knowing full well that the money is funneled to buy, import, and train Muslim terrorists and their weapons of mass murder.
We strongly encourage everyone to buy American and Israeli products instead. Buy Estee Lauder or Ahava instead of Chanel, Dior, and YSL. Tell the salespeople why. Educate the public when you shop.
I dont usually make off-topic posts, but in this instance I thought it worthwhile. Since its about how I try and fund my time to research and write this blog I thought it would be good to share this little nugget with all my readers.
I came accross this great tool to help with (mainly) the process of buying on ebay. its called www.buyertools.com and its like a reminder kit for auctions that are ending soon. I use it for all my own regular auctions that are ending coz since I always re-list my regular stock it costs me to have items 'off-the-shelf'
The automatic bidding feature also helps for when those international auctions are closing at times less convenient for me (sleeping or partying)
Two great things come to mind with this software :
1. Its free and we all love free !
2. it contains NO spyware which is always a concern when trying out new applications (especially free ones)
I was told about this little app a few weeks ago from one of my readers in Germany that i'm in contact with (funny, she is an 80 year old grandma who spends her days trading on ebay !)... apparantly www.buyertools.com was launched in beta over there about a year or so ago.
I've listed below some of the main features of the software (from the website themselves)
Reminder Features: - easy adding of items: importing from „my eBay“ or open Internet Explorer windows - automatic bidding at a predetermined time - up to the last second before an aution ends - manual bidding and Buy-It-Now straight out of the program - no need to open the eBay Web site - auction reminders as a free text message to cell phones - search function for eBay - administer multiple eBay accounts - no ads, no popups, no spyware
