greetings and blessings,

"it happens when we are happy", it is a derivative from "to hap", "the request to dress, to complain of nakedness", from Testaments.

"nakedness of Adam and Eve with their Fire from Heaven". fire is communication, as within the Bush of Moses. and the fig leaf is from the tree that resembles universality.

"as above so below". the fig leaf in their genitals is the universality in their awareness.

genitals is with the second gland in the lower part of the body. and awareness is with the second gland "pituatory" in the upper part of the body. and "hipophysis" may be related with "under the fish"

Jesus Cheerist is known with the amber of the pine tree. if pineal gland is related with "pine", then "epiphysis" may be related with the "happy fish".

"happythymuse", gadget to hear words "isaac ishmael".

The shorter the better for most good and memorable sayings: Most history is guessing, the rest is prejudice. Or, it is only by the grace of heroes that civilization continues. And, there is nothing new except what is forgotten.
Of course a few more words, if well chosen, can do just as nicely: There are two things a man should never be forced to see: how the meat packers make sausage, and how Texas politicians make their daily bread; or, when you get into trouble five thousand miles from home you've got to have been looking for it; or, some are moved to leave their marks on bathroom walls, while others run for public office.

why can the SLA by weapons and bombs from USA and Israel while the Tamils in Austrlia and the Western countries can't give funds to help the LTTE. Over the past month alone the SLA has repeatedly dropped bombs over homes, schools and etc, and blame it all on the Tamil Tigers. First of all, why the Hell are the Tigers going to kill there own people, and Second of all it is already a proven fact that the SLA has dropped bombs over the LTTe areas, killing thousands of people and leaving them refugess. ..Get it through your heads, the Tigers are not Terrorists, the SLA are blamming everything on the Tamil Tigers. The SLA knows that they are struggling to fight the Tigers, and are just blamming everything on the Tigers to get them a bad name(Terrorists) Well, thing again the Tigers are not that Stupid. ..Next time you guys report something make sure that you have the correct information. The LTTE has never killed Sinhalese people other than the army who raped, bombed and killed innocent people. ..On 25 April 2006,a female suicide bomber blew herself up in the grounds of the Army Headquarters (!) in Colombo, throwing herself in front of the Army Commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka. He was injured but survived...Within hours, the Sri Lankan Armed Forces launched an air and artillery attack on Trincomalee on the opposite side of the island, some 150 km away. Tamil villages were indiscriminately bombed and shelled in an attack that continued for two full days. .. Having admitted that the Sri Lankan Forces acted against Tamil villagers went on to justify it by claiming that it was “a fair reply” to the bomb blast in Colombo earlier in the day. May I point out that if one dons a uniform, be it a Tamil Tiger uniform or a Sri Lankan Army uniform, and takes on the right to kill or injure people, to be killed or injured is part of the ‘game’. That is an ‘occupational hazard’. What is unacceptable is that this should then be taken out on civilians. The reason for this is becuase the SLA is not a stronger than the Tamil Tigers. ..All the SLA is good for is to Kill innocent people, rape innocent people and at the end just get away with it. ..OPEN YOUR BIG ASS EYES, AND LOOK AT HOW THE SLA IS LYING TO YOU. ..IF YOU ARE NOT AFRAID YOU WILL RIGHT BACK!!!...

my favorite proverb is " a wise man is quick to listen and slow to speak", located in the gospel of James. many times, i am not a very wise person.

I've got a good one. In Spain we say "a Dios rogando y con el mazo dando". It would be something like: "you pray to God and when you leave the chapel you kill someone" Does it ring you a bell? nowadays politicians all around the world, kill people in the name of God, and it doesn't matter the name you give to God...

"Committees keep minutes and lose hours."

A few of the things "I AM" said to me this year:

"I LOVE"
"LOOK UP, LOOK UP HIGH"
"I will not leave you no matter what"
"Out of your pain, you will be born of new life"

Standing in the doorway of heaven with His Arms wide & welcoming:
"Bring as many To Me by the hand in Love as humanly possible. I want ALL to stand with Me as One that together we face what ever comes."

He is very much alive and well.
And yes, He does Love us & holds us in Perfect Love as a father.

He created us...and this beautiful Mother-ship earth designed to house & feed all from her belly-womb.
He provides time thru the water of life that we may live.
His Son came & died for us that we may live eternal amongst the Holy.

He said, "My tears are dry. I'm sending you My Everything. I have given ALL that I have. I have given My Life—My Son for you! And I gave you My Arms & My Will. I gave you My Spirit—Myself—My Mind—I gave you Everything—My Feet, My Hands, My Eyes that you could Serve One Another that you could LOVE One Another—that you could Serve One Another for All of ETERNITY! I thought you would Teach your children. I thought you would LOVE your Mother—she's give you EVERYTHING, Everything! I GAVE YOU LIFE! To h___ with ALL of you, but still I LOVE & still I Forgive. I AM. I AM your Father."

May G-d Our Father "I AM" bless and forgive us all, Amen

in response to have a good day, simply, you have a better one.

"Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events." - Winston Churchill

A line i developed as i understand the world from my past, present & time's to come——-"POWER OF MONEY CAN BUY ANYTHING,BUT POWER OF WORDS RULES THE WORLD"

My previous statement should read as follows.

David Kay (the Iraqi weapons inspector) is quoted to have said (after meeting key members of the administration), "I never _MET_ anyone who was more disinterested in Iraq. No one in this administration lost more than 10 minutes of sleep over Iraq."

Speaking of disrespect for human life, the local radio station has just announced confirmation (i.e., confirmation by both CNBC and the BBC) that next week, Washington will announce sending an additional 40,000 troops to Iraq.

Can someone explain how sending 40,000 troops directly into a civil war will actually help American strategic objectives?

MikeB:

"...Saddam Hussein...And, from what I hear of the taunts this man suffered during his final moments..."

You are kidding aren't you? What about the victims of his torture and murder?

If Sadr becomes the Prime Minister of Iraq, then, indeed, that was the worst US foreign policy decision since 1776 - unless he undergoes a miraculous transformation. He is trained, supported and supplied by Iran. His thugs are already a budding terrorist organization on the order of Hezbollah, just not quite as polished yet. It would be a coup for the Iranian government.

The political party that ran the United States for the last 6 years may not be full of idiots, but the party is full of snakes who could not care less about your life or mine. David Kay (the Iraqi weapons inspector) is quoted to have said (after meeting key members of the administration), "I never anyone who was more disinterested in Iraq. No one in this administration lost more than 10 minutes of sleep over Iraq."

Still, one member of this party is not a snake. Gerald Ford was an honorable person. In fact, he vehemently opposed the Iraq War.

MikeB
Saddam's execution has nothing to do with Iraq flying apart since he has not been in charge for years (and was not going to resume his post anytime soon). As for Al Sadr, you may be right but it will take him a while to build up a body count equal to Saddam's. And anyone with an ounce of dignity would not refer to the President of the United States as "our idiot President".

The problem with executing Saddam Hussein is that he was the strong man wh held Iraq together. Without him, it all simply is flying apart. And, from what I hear of the taunts this man suffered during his final moments, the strong man that is most likely to replace him is Al Sadr, who gives every indication of being much much worse than Saddam and a far worse problme for the United States and the world. It seems everything done by this Whitehouse is done without thought or regards to the consequences. Anyone with an ounce of dignity would simply shut up or resign, but not our idiot President.

Dear Dr. Fareed Zakaria,

You are the only top level Muslim journalist, very well positioned and well read in the Muslim world. But I see and most of the time I feel disturbed by your biased and self defeating opinion when it comes about Muslim issues. In your last 1/1/2007 Washingtonpost column You said " Bush's Nation Busting", "We didnot give Iraqis a republic. We gave them a Civil War" I do not know whether you are a Shia or Sunni, if you are well read about all the sects and Secratarian differences in Muslim religion then you should not blame any out siders, even Bush for that matter. It started just after death of Prophet Mohammad( SM). Tyrrant, dictator Saddam used it (differences) , suppressed it with iron hand for his power now that tyrrant is gone so it is automatic and very natural that some sectarian violences and civil war is expected for real longitivity of democracy, It happened in almost all present democratic countries, like India/Pakistan/Bangladesh(still going on), USA, Yugoslavia et. etc. In MiddleEast that civil war is pending in almost in all divided countries, British tried to democratize them but mostly failed. USA democratized Japan with a heavy price of atomic bombs to avoid civil war in Japan, so only altetnative to civil war in MiddleEast is Atomic Bombs killing millions of them to make them wake up rightly and create unified country forgetting differences of sects and religion like Japan and Germany did in recent history otherwise history will repeat itself, Muslims in freeworld will become or go back somewhere like Leaving Spain or being converted back to Christianity after almost 900 years of presence and rule in Spain! Please think about and reread the History of Spain and Muslims again, I shall give you the web site of that history neutrally written by a Muslim scholar soon.
Regards.
Yours sincerely

An anti joy saying (don't like) goes like this: life is but a passage: the less joy one experiences in life, the more joy would found after life.

An anti joyous look at life (I don't like), goes something like this: Life is but a passage: the less you are joyous in life the less joy you would get in the afterlife.

BOISE STATE 43 OKLAHOMA 42

Great day to live in the state of Idaho.

An anti joyous look at life is the following: life is but a passage!

I am generally favorably impressed by your intelligent, thoughtful comments when I see you opining on television. Yet, as it happened with so many political commentators who I respect, I was surprised that you (along with so many others) were carried away in the post-9/11 surge of 'flag-waving-lets-go-into-Iraq' storyline. I'm not referring to the Neocons (or neo-clowns, as the are known in some quarters) but to respectable, knowledgeable, experts with cultural and political insight, like yourself.

I know everyone now has some turf to protect, but lets not kid ourselves and sum it up as "it was a great idea but badly executed". Of course it was badly executed but it wasn't a great idea. It was the wrong thing to do at the time.

Before you jump to conclusions let me just say that I used to vote Republican until it became the official 'Jesus party' under the present seriously flawed and totally undeserving president. I am an Ivy League educated person with a scientific background who cannot stomach all the "end days/rapture" talk and general eschewing of factual evidence now guiding our national policy. I understand politics and pandering to a political block (even to the one with the lowest common intellectual denominator) but this is not what is happening in our country. We find ourselves limiting research or censuring scientific fact to keep the ignorant happy and buy their favor! This country was born in the Age of Enlightenment with the American people looking up to such leaders and thinkers as Franklin, Hamilton and Jefferson. I'm glad it wasn't Falwell, Patterson or Dobson (or worse, Hannity, O'Reilly or Coulter). I digress.

At the time I was wholeheartedly in favor of the Afghanistan exercise as it seemed the correct response to what happened in 9/11. Everyone here supported it and we had everyone behind us internationally.

Given that our target at the time was clearly the terrorists behind 9/11, how could invading Iraq been the right thing at the time?

Saddam was contained. We knew there were no terrorists despite all the Al Zarqawi lies being thrown around. We know he was in Kurdish territory within U.S. grasp and despite having documented opportunities before the war nothing was done so as not to spoil the rationale for war. Between the No-Fly Zones and the UN embargo we had obviously succeeded in neutralizing Saddam. The embargo could have been stiffened and amended as required and most importantly we should have let the UN inspectors finish their job. We could have increased their numbers, scope of mission or done a number of things in lieu of an actual invasion while concentrating on the real job, going after Al Qaeda.

How could invading Iraq at that precise moment be the right thing? This is what I, and I suspect most Americans and history and the rest of the world, will not let this president, his half billion Presidential Library (legacy whitewashing/historical revisionism) fund or apologists get away with. Believe me this exorbitant amount of money, I don't believe, is enough to begin scratching the surface of the G.W. Bush presidential makeover!

We should also ask the question of President Ford (too late!), Colin Powell, political scientists and historians, all the pundits, journalists and opinion columnists who either kept their real thoughts and doubts at the time under wraps and are now trying to come out from under this debacle as cleanly as possible.

Believe me, it has cost us dearly in blood, treasure and international standing (not to mention the damage done to the Iraqi nation), but I think the real potential damage and biggest unintended consequence of this 'cakewalk' could be a resulting regional conflict bringing in Turkey, Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia among others. This is now not beyond the realm of possibilities.

All energy and capabilities should now be directed to actually trying to solve the Iraq problem before this happens. Bush won't really have to worry about his legacy if regional conflict comes to pass! The silver lining, if this were to result, is that all those "Presidential Library- Legacy Whitewashing" donations could be put to better use ... like rebuilding New Orleans! It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

How could it have been the right thing to do?

With the none to soon death of Saddam, it brings to mind Thomas Jefferson's famous quote "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Also from Jefferson, the following, i'll submit, applies to Iraq in particular and America in general - "There is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive."

Another excellent quote which carries the power of a proverb is the 41st fragment of Heraclitus:

"You never step into the same river twice."

(or some varient of the phrasing thereof).

Jorge Luis Borges pointed out that there is a double meaning to this quote. Not only is it the river that changes, but "you" do as well.

http://www.dereviewsite.com/

Be like a flowing River—lot of junk gets dumped into it, but it never stops and cleans itself as it flows over/under obstacles

Be like a flowing River—lot of junk gets dumped into it, but it never stops and cleans itself as it flows over/under obstacles

I am unsure who said this but "Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out".
I can think of hundreds of current situations to which this might apply, everything from the lack of intellectual curiosity in the White House and Legislative Branch to the credence given to scientific naysayers.

Rationalize with the 'Golden Rule':

They who have the gold - make the rules

I like this morning statement:

"Yesterday was the best day of my life.
Today, I will do my best to make this day even better."

(Lucio Gutierrez, former President of Ecuador)

a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. proverb 25:11

As a friend once commented, "People have time for what they want to have time for."

"Feed a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man religion and he'll starve to death praying for a fish."

From Human Rights Watch:

"...Human Rights Watch has for more than 15 years documented the human rights crimes committed by Hussein?s former government, and has campaigned to bring the perpetrators to justice. These crimes include the killing of more than 100,000 Iraqi Kurds in Northern Iraq as part of the 1998 Anfal campaign..."

From Richard Dicker, director of Human Rights Watch?s International Justice Program:

"Saddam Hussein was responsible for massive human rights violations, but that can't justify giving him the death penalty, which is a cruel and inhuman punishment."

One hundred thousand people killed JUST from the 1998 campaign. I completely disagree with Richard Dicker's statement (second quote). Saddam's execution was completely justified and very quick compared to alot of his victims.

Wonder how Churchill would have judged Saddam:

ëWinston S. Churchill: departmental minute (Churchill papers: 16/16) 12 May 1919 War Office

I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas.

I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected.

from Companion Volume 4, Part 1 of the official biography, WINSTON S. CHURCHILL, by Martin Gilbert (London: Heinemann, 1976)

"We survived Pharaoh? We'll survive this, too..." goes the refrain of a popular song released many years ago by veteran Israeli pop-rocker, Ariel Zilber.

Casting a wry and darkly acerbic, yet wearily hopeful eye at personal and national predicaments, the tune tallies a litany of woe, each stanza ending with the tag line reminding the listener that a bit of historical perspective in facing crises is a useful trait.

The song incorporates a traditional Jewish attitude, memorialized in the Passover Seder, of sensible gumption and looking beyond the present peril to better times ahead. And not a moment too soon, taking a quick look up-thread at some of the obnoxious, mean-spirited replies slamming Jews ("Neocons" in WaPo PC-speak) and Israel in what was - clearly - to have been a pleasant, end-of-year multiculti "contrast and compare." Sheesh. Get. a. life. you losers...

And to the rest of the WaPo bloggerati: a healthy and successful 2007 to you and yours.

Capital punishment is morally repugnant. One of the strongest supporters of capital punishment is Christians — "good", old-fashioned, hypocritical Christians.

Saddam Hussein did not receive a fair trial. Soon, after the trial, the Washington-backed Iraqi government hangs him. Who applauds the use of hanging as an acceptable form of capital punishment? Christians.

It is interesting that some who abhor abortion applaud hanging.

God, give me strength to change what I can change, make me a patient man to live with situations that I cannot change, and, the most important, give me intelligence to distinguish one thing from the other.

Saddam was Hitler, fortunately, without Hitler's powerful military.

He ruled with an iron fist, and was responsible for the deaths of 1-2 million people. He gassed his own people. It is an especially good day for the Kurds and Shia (of Iraq and Iran) as they bore the brunt of Saddam's ruthless dictatorship.

This is a good day for the world, and for justice.

to Robert Rose: How very poignant - and sad.

Saying: "Count your blessings."

This existence we have is a gift of enormity beyond comprehension. If we would recognize and respect it as such we would respect each other and our environment.
It does not matter whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Atheist, Pantheist, or Nothingist. You exist. You have a life and you have circumstances. Engage them fully.

Today, I feel the need to add the mobster's saying: "There is no greater calamity than to die at the hands of one's friends."

Would like to add to my previous contribution that it is about time that men learn by past history and experience to finally realize that by any creed we should live in harmony with each other.
It is quite extraordinary that in the 21st century, hatred greed and violence should be guiding the world.

A sad day for the so called civilized world

The hanging of Saddam Hussein brought this to mind:

"...any man's death diminishes me...
Never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
it tolls for thee."

-John Donne, "No man is an island"

"It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice."

Scooter said this in one of their rave anthems in the 90's, I can't remember which, it's on the tip of my tongue... I'll post it when it comes to me.

Don Quixote contains a huge array of proverbs; a few esoteric throw-aways, but many of them still witty and fresh.

The most salient proverb might be Cervantes' definition of a proverb itself: "A proverb is a short sentence drawn from long experience."

Other well known proverbs from Don Quixote are:

"All that glitters is not gold."

"The proof of the pudding is in the eating." (This proverb is commonly shorted into, "the proof is in the pudding")

"I have other fish to fry."

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

"I do not believe the good Lord plays dice." (Or as Einstein phrased it, "God doesn't play dice")

"One should not speak of rope in the house of a hanged man."

"Out of the frying pan and into the fire."

"The pot calling the kettle black."

And my personal favorite because it always ring true:

"Hunger is the best sauce in the world."

Injustice reaps anything but peace

Charlotte of West Palm: If you can't tell the difference between an Arab male and an eighth generation American female on these posts, you are exactly as smart as your post is. As for whether the whole world loves Israel, the UN regularly, and twice recently, votes to call Israel guilty of war crimes, and worse, and to stop their aggression. Unanimously, except for the US Bolton veto. Israel has no friends at all in the world. Except the US government. And that's about to change.

WHAT A SHAME Lieberman (see op ed today!) was allowed to stand American politics on it's head and run as an independent in Connecticut. No one listens to him except other jewish neocons, hopefully, still he is a constant voice for Israeli aggression, by Israel and by israel using US blood and treasure. Hopefully in the new year Americans will begin to repudiate that vile progression, push Isreal back behind it's borders. And follow the Iraq Study Group for new negotiations. And STOP the latest mindboggling move by Israel to start new settlements in Palestinian territory! My God, it's unbelievable.

"for Charlotte above" since you leave no name at all, surely what you say is a lot of crap. Most of the world does NOT wish Isr
