So I posted the constitutions last night along with my thoughts that the Kurds are asking for trouble, and wouldn’t you know it? Today, the Guardian runs this. It’s more of that growling that I mentioned in my previous post, but what’s most alarming about this is Turkey’s charges that the United States is directing the Kurds: “It is beyond encouragement, (Washington) is directing them,” said Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit.

Qatar coup a plot of the Saudis?
By Steven BJ Yeoh
09/10/2009 5:56 amYou may find this interesting but I was in detention recently in Doha Qatar (something I’m not very proud of but relevant to this comment). I was in the same jail block as the above mention coup plotters (1996 counter coup). I would like to say that I those guys are not the assume militant types but very rational and well educated. I will have to say that they are victims of circumstances and not evil conspirators as many assume them to be.
Along with these guys there is an American (www.johnwdowns.com), he is charged with espionage. If you read through his website (it will offer you a more detailed/clearer explanation than anything I could explain), the charges charged against him are based in such ridiculous evidence (talk to his daughter Margaret Downs) but still he is spending a full life sentence in Doha, Qatar.
If only more people take notice and follow-up on cases like this then you will see the inequality so evident in Qatar and most gulf countries.

Official Numbers on Iraqi Casualties from U.S. Government?
By rashard
22/09/2009 9:42 amI feel that it does not make much sense to keep fighting the war in Iraq. Everything that we mess up we have to re-build it so why keep fighting if we don’t have to. The casualties that are shown in this blog are deaths that could have been well avoided. Alot of money problems should not be blamed on Obama but Bush.
