IAEA chief urges Iran to end its nuclear secrecy
At the opening session of the International Atomic Energy Agency's 145-nation conference, the European Union also urged Tehran to fully cooperate with a U.N. probe that is trying to assess all of its past and present nuclear activities. "The international community cannot accept the prospect of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons," the EU said in a statement. In his opening speech, the IAEA's director, Mohamed ElBaradei, focused on Iran's refusal to suspend its uranium enrichment program and alleged past plans to develop the bomb. The U.N. Security Council approved a resolution Saturday critical of Tehran's defiance on uranium enrichment.
Iran should "implement all transparency measures ..." ElBaradei said. "This will be good for Iran, good for the Middle East region and good for the world."

The IAEA report underscores that the Iranian regime has not agreed to take necessary transparency measures including "access to additional locations related, inter alia, to the manufacturing of centrifuges, on uranium enrichment, and uranium mining and milling." The IAEA pointed out, "There remain a number of outstanding issues… which give rise to concerns about possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme." The Agency's report and remarks by its officials also referred to the clerical regime's project to modify the Shahab-3 missile, making it capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
Yeah..Like inspect the secret military site in the Hemmat Khojar region, south-east of Tehran, where according to the NCRI seven companies are involved in the adaptation of ballistic missile medium-range Shahab-3 With nuclear warheads.
President Maryam Rajavi urged the Board of Governors and the United Nations Security Council to act firmly and impose comprehensive sanctions against the regime, and deny it further opportunity to acquire nuclear weapons. Mrs. Rajavi added that the new IAEA report leaves no room for any doubts on the military nature of the mullahs' nuclear program and their attempts to conceal it. Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that since 2002 when the Iranian Resistance exposed secret sites in Natanz and Arak, it has stated that the sole objective of this project is to obtain nuclear weapons. Today, the international community has wasted six years in stopping the mullahs' nuclear program through appeasement, procrastination and provision of incentive packages instead of adopting a firm policy. By so doing, it has only emboldened the mullahs in their drive to acquire nuclear weapons. Mrs. Rajavi highlighted the immediate and grave danger that the clerical regime poses to regional and global peace and stability and urged the Security Council to impose military, diplomatic, technological and oil embargo against the clerical regime.
Al-Maliki says security pact with US, Iraqi interest
Al-Maliki said, however, that he is firmly committed to reaching an accord that would allow U.S. troops to remain in the country beyond next year. "We regard negotiating and reaching such an agreement as a national endeavor, a national mission, a historic one. It is a very important agreement that involves the stability and the security of the country and the existence of foreign troops. It has a historic dimension," al-Maliki said.
The Iraqi prime minister spoke at length about the difficulty he faces in trying to negotiate the accord that would set the terms for the U.S. presence in Iraq for years to come. "Pressures are coming from east and west and north and south, but we are determined to rise above all these difficulties and pressures because we want this agreement to be passed," al-Maliki said, "and we will go ahead despite all that is being said."
The prime minister also noted with gratitude the high cost paid by American taxpayers, the U.S. military and the forces of other coalition members to secure Iraq's freedom over the past five years. "We appreciate and we respect their sacrifices," he said of the U.S. troops killed, adding that their deaths would act as a bridge between the two countries. Answering questions in his office in Baghdad's heavily guarded Green Zone al-Maliki said a compromise was near on the thorny issue of legal jurisdiction over U.S. forces. He said it would involve an offer of limited immunity for American forces. "We have proposed that the legal jurisdiction would be ... with the Americans ... when the troops are performing military operations," he explained. "When they are not performing a military operation, they are outside their camps, the legal jurisdiction would be in the hands of the Iraqi judiciary." He added: "I think we are getting near to a compromise on this issue. I think the atmosphere is positive and once we manage to find a solution for this issue, other issues will be easy to deal with." Our need for coalition forces is decreasing — but it still exists," he said.
Al-Maliki said Americans may not be fully aware of the accomplishments brought about by the U.S. intervention in Iraq. He listed those as — "Establishing a national government following a dictatorship and spreading freedoms inside Iraq after decades of oppression; establishing a constitutional structure inside the country; creating a friendly people toward the United States — the people of Iraq; and probably the most important achievement was to defeat the extremists from al-Qaida and the militias, people who threaten humanity in general. And America has seen the results of what happens when those people are not confronted." "Unfortunately Iraq cannot solve America's economic problems, but what Iraq can do is take up more responsibility security-wise here inside Iraq," al-Maliki said. "And I have told the Americans repeatedly that we are ready to take up responsibility here in Iraq so there are less losses and a decreased number of American lives lost," he said.

Yeah..30 years of dictatorship, oppression, horrible torture, mass murder, genocide, cutting of tongues and limbs, tormenting people, throwing people from roof tops..terror..You name it..The internationally community failed big times to stop this genocide and there is really need to get a better cooperation between human rights organizations, aid workers, red cross etc..and the U.N. and internationally community to work for preventing mass murder, torture and genocide.
Now..history is important becuase that´s reasons where we are today...
North Korea needs to get in aid and a transition from isolation, to get their trading working through South Korea and a growth rate in a very, very smooth way. This must be done with integrity and in North Korea's rate and conditions.

Yeah..such a good timing for accusing the U.S. of stonewalling negotiations on reducing the size of nuclear arsenals..
The United States and North Korea are at loggerheads over a so-called verification mechanism for a declaration Pyongyang made about its plutonium-based nuclear program this summer. The North has balked over U.S. demands about the mechanism, fearing it to be too intrusive. "We encourage the North very strongly to submit that verification regime so that we can move forward on the other aspects, positive aspects of the six-party framework," said Wood.
"We have not been engaged with them recently over this. Instead they have started unraveling the deal," he said.
Well..This requires that the U.S. is engaged with North Korea all the way on not let it rest and find a realistic verification plan that can be implemented with fully cooperation with North Korea. Meanwhile we will have talks and cooperation between South and North Korea because there is need to get in aid for the winter and the children in North Korea have nothing what so ever to do with verifications plans, so just keep them out of it! And because this disarmament is also a decision taken by North Korea and have to be worked with North Korea in those conditions.
And The United States and Russia can be very sure of that we will follow up your own negotiations on a reducing the size of your nuclear arsenals!
You don´t get it..Do you..Idiots..
You should concentrate on not be taken hostage yourselves instead..Because that´s a old pattern..Where people use people to take other people hostages and after that take those they have used to take people hostages as hostages by others. And after have used people to take those people hostages which have taken people hostages they take those as hostages with others which then will be taken hostages..
Idiots..
Yeah..and Binyamin Netanyahu wants some votes with breaking human rights..
"We wish we had heard this personal opinion ... before he resigned."
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Olmert had not translated the conciliatory ideas he put forward in the interview into formal offers during nearly a year of peace talks. "We have been having serious negotiations with the Israeli side, but up to this moment we have not received any written proposals from the Israeli side and Mr. Olmert," Erekat said. The Palestinians want to put the progress made so far in writing so that talks won't have to start from the beginning with Israel's next prime minister, he said.
We have heard proposals and offers of 93% or were it..97% , land swaps and talks about east Jerusalem so don´t give us some bullshit that it have not!
Maybe it´s not so much about a % here or there but more important to have a whole structure in the West Bank..
And we demand a cooperation and organization around The Dome of The Rock! People are going to prayer - not to a "sell off" where elderly and children get crushed on the way!
And we will not have democracy hijacked by hostage takers..We know what democracy is and not, and really like to see democracy before claiming to be one, make that very clear! It´s going to be a independent Palestinian state - not a Iranian scout camp!
Yeah..Now we assume Assad wants to get in and solve the violence in Lebanon....For which time in the row? *sigh*
TRIPOLI, Lebanon (Reuters) - A car bomb tore through an army bus in northern Lebanon on Monday, killing four soldiers and a civilian passerby in the second attack on the army in less than two months, security sources said.
Yeah..If people would have thought of that..
They maybe wouldn´t have been guilty of genocide of Israelis AND millions of Muslims! Under the 19th century there were over 13 millions of Muslims killed by Muslims, add to that 8 years of a collective-suicide into this century..
Many of you are just a bunch of idiots..Are you not..
Yeah..It sounds like the 80s and the mass slaughter in the prisons in Iran..Nice friends of Russia capture "descriptions" from CIA = "Save Islam"
The hangmen of Iran-backed Hezb-e-Wahdat dumped the bodies of their ethnic-hatred campaign after torturing them to death.
http://www.rawa.org/bwphoto.html
Yeah..It sounds and looks like in Iran.."Save Islam from the enemies from Africa to Europe"..deny others existence and history, demoralize the reasons for U.N.´s existence, "Take back Arab land"..While having a ethnically cleansing of Arabs..and Kurds, and every one else..Or they are doing it all by themselves..How bad the Mutfi of Jerusalem never though of while he was claiming: "Western Wall was never part of the Jewish temple". He actually confirmed there was a Jewish temple at the same time..
One of the doomed men declared minutes before being suspended that he was a small fry whose execution was being used as a smoke screen for the big fry to get away and absolve themselves of the wave of crime that was sweeping Kabul.

Backwards?
"Afghan Warlords, Formerly Backed By the CIA, Now Turn Their Guns On U.S. Troops."
May we ask you what the hell you are doing? The "new world order" or what? Yeah..really great f***** "order"..Like Pol Pot's Cambodia..It´s like a alliance with the allies who cooperates with the enemies which both destabilize Iraq, which you are working on to stabilise..Or like a Prime Minister embracing the same people that are sending in people to kill his people..It´s really a great "order"..Isn´t it..

For war to end in Somalia the following should happen:
1. Instant withdrawal of Ethiopian troops from Somalia.
2. Somalia sovereignty must be reestablished immediately.
3. The Somali people, not foreigners, should make the decisions about the future of their country.
4. The United Nations and other international organizations should condemn and investigate war crimes committed by Ethiopian forces and bring to the justice those who responsible the Mogadishu carnage.
5. The United Nation must help Somalis to establish genuine and inclusive political reconciliation through which to choose their own leaders and reclaim sovereign control of their own country.

Dispatches reveals how key politicians at the heart of the vicious fighting in Somalia - described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis - enjoy incredibly close links to Britain. They have British or EU passports, their families live here and they commute between Somalia and homes in English cities. British taxpayers are financing them in the name of democracy - yet in Somalia they are linked to allegations of mass murder, torture, extortion and corruption.
The leaders of the current government, installed 17 months ago when Ethiopian forces seized Mogadishu were expected to restore peace after years of civil war. Among the British-Somali community, Hartley finds anger and frustration that taxpayers are sponsoring politicians who they claim are ruling by the gun and profit from conflict. In Leicester, one British-Somali tells Hartley he was recently told to pay ransoms for the release of several relatives languishing in a dungeon controlled by a senior official in the Somali government who has a house in the same Leicester neighbourhood. To find out more, Hartley and Foster travel to Mogadishu where they find a city descending into chaos and extreme violence. Vicious fighting between insurgents and the government forces has killed more than 7,000 civilians and produced the largest exodus from a capital city since Pol Pot's Cambodia. He hears first-hand claims of false imprisonment, torture and extortion from prisoners who are only freed when ransoms are paid. Dispatches heads to the outskirts of Mogadishu where hundreds of thousands of terrified civilians from the city have fled to live in squalid camps. They all rely on humanitarian aid from Britain and other donor countries, but they're already starving and falling sick.
Hartley investigates why aid workers rarely set foot in Mogadishu and why the desperate victims of war are not receiving the food and medical aid they so badly need. And finally, the investigation examines claims of indiscriminate bombardment of civilian districts where insurgents are thought to live. Back in the UK Hartley interviews Minister for Africa Lord Mark Malloch-Brown about British support for this Somali government that is presiding over the worst phase of conflict in 17 years of vicious civil war in Somalia.
And it´s the same thing in Afghanistan!
Almost sixty percent residents of Yaka-wolang district of central Bamyan province are facing starvation. Muhammad Nasir Fayaz district chief of Yaka-wolang told Pajhwok Afghan News agriculture crop were affected by different infections the very reason faced the locals to hunger and posed great threat to their lives. "Great number of people would die unless the government and international community heeded to address the issue." He warned. Muhammad Sadiq Aliyar director of Red Crescent Department in Bamyan said: "we dont reject the situation and we have also received several applications for help from districts of the province," he added:" we survey the vulnerable areas and provide assistance after the survey." They had insufficient foodstuff in hand and would request welfare NGOs for assistance before the winter closes in. Not only people in Bamyan but also great numbers of families in distant areas of Badakhshan, Samangan, Sar-e-pul, Ghor and Ghazni were consuming grass to quench their hunger.

Human Rights Watch urges that no assistance be given to any group or coalition that includes commanders with an unremedied record of serious violations of international humanitarian law standards.
German government invites an Afghan Warlord, The Left protests Warlords and individuals who have allegedly committed war crimes cannot be partners for a peaceful, democratic development in Afghanistan. By inviting the former warlord Haji Mohammed Mohaqeq to Berlin, the German government demonstrates once again that it supports the wrong concepts, the wrong instruments, and the wrong people”, explains MP Heike Hänsel. However, the democratic groups in Afghanistan have so far not received any support by the German government. Instead, the ministry of economic cooperation and development invites a former warlord from the Afghan civil war (1992-1996) for a luncheon. In the 1990s, Haji Mohammad Mohaqeq was a commander in the civil war. He has allegedly been involved in numerous attacks on civilians and is being accused of having executed extremely cruel torture practices against prisoners. Mohaqeq is an example of how warlords from the civil war have risen to partners of the occupation and the Karzai government. In its invitation to the member of the committee of economic cooperation and development, the Ministry defines this man as a strategically important partner. Warlords and individuals who have allegedly committed war crimes cannot be partners for a peaceful, democratic development in Afghanistan. Instead, we have to provide the democratic, secular organizations and persons with strong political support.

Child rapes have risen sharply in recent years, according to Afghanistan’s Human Rights Organisation (AHRO), which claims most of the sexual assaults are carried out by government officials and other powerful men.
"The action of the government had been poor as usually the criminals and rapists had been freed instead of being punished"Five people, including a policeman, have been arrested in Takhar as they might be involved in raping and injuring a young girl. Five people including a police commander of the security of Hazar Samch had gang-raped this girl who lived in her home with some children. He said that the girl told one of the rapists that she had recognized him and he had intended to kill her with a bullet of his gun but she got away with an injury. Dr. Ashrafuddin Ayni, the head of the Central Hospital of Taliqan said that his medical prove that the girl had been gang-raped. Ayni also added that the bullet had pierced the girl’s abdomen and after treatment she had been released from the hospital. One of the girl’s relatives told PAN, “The rapists are powerful and armed and are also involved in thefts. We want the government to execute them so that no more people can harm other people’s honor. Earlier this summer, Afghan president Hamid Karzai pardoned three men convicted of gang-raping a woman in the northern province of Samangan. The rape took place in 2005 in front of the woman's village, after she had harangued the local warlord's men for forcing her son to become a soldier. ...The men all come from an influential tribe in the region.
Mohammad Zahir Zafari the person in charge of the Human Rights Commission in the North-east zone, pronounced the rapes as ‘shocking’ and ‘great violation of human rights’ and demanded the punishment of the people involved. He claimed that it is possible that this year the cases of rape and violence increase, and the action of the government had been poor as usually the criminals and rapists had been freed instead of being punished. This year, several cases of rape of girls, especially young girls, had taken place in the North of the country. The rape of a 12-year old girl in Sar-e-Pul can be one such case. Five armed men had raped this girl after beating up her family.

Serious! It´s a genocide going on!
While the report says all sides in the civil war have carried out crimes against civilians, it places greatest emphasis on the actions of forces armed, financed and backed militarily and politically by the United States—the Ethiopian military and the Transitional Federal Government. (TFG).
The Amnesty International report includes interviews with Somali refugees who describe Ethiopian and TFG troops routinely slitting the throats of civilians, carrying out gang-rapes, conducting house-to-house searches in the war-devastated capital Mogadishu and summarily killing residents, and blasting entire neighborhoods suspected of being sympathetic to Islamist insurgents. The rights organization charges that the terror campaign by government and Ethiopian troops is a major factor in a humanitarian catastrophe that threatens millions of Somalis with starvation.
In the concluding section of the report, Amnesty writes:
“There is a dire human rights situation in southern and central Somalia, which has largely contributed to the current humanitarian emergency. One million Somalis are internally displaced; hundreds of thousands are newly displayed refugees; journalists and human rights defenders fear each day for their lives and many are fleeing the country; some 6,000 civilians were killed in attacks in 2007; and the entire population of Mogadishu carries the scars of having witnessed or experienced egregious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. In addition, all parties to the conflict have committed human rights violations or abuses, which included unlawful killings, extrajudicial executions, torture and other ill-treatment, including rape and beatings, arbitrary detention and enforced disappearances.”
This nightmare of human suffering and social disintegration is the outcome of the illegal invasion and occupation of Somalia by tens of thousands of Ethiopian troops, prepared and launched with the full backing of the US government, in December of 2006. The US military supplied air and naval power to Ethiopian invasion force, as well as Special Forces units on the ground in Somalia, in order to topple the Islamic Courts Union (ICU), whose militia had taken control of virtually the entire country, including Mogadishu, leaving the US- and United Nations-backed Transitional Federal Government isolated in its enclave of Baidoa.
Since the December, 2006 invasion, the TFG and Ethiopian occupation forces have failed to secure control over any significant part of Somalia, including Mogadishu. Amnesty International reported there was a marked increase in executions of civilians by Ethiopian troops in the last two months of 2007. The rise appeared, in part, to have been in retaliation for an ambush of Ethiopian soldiers in early November in which the bodies of several Ethiopians were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu.
The human rights group said it obtained scores of reports of killings by Ethiopian troops in which Somali civilians were, according to witnesses, “slaughtered like goats.” “The people of Somalia are being killed, raped, tortured. Looting is widespread and entire neighborhoods are being destroyed,” Michelle Kagari, Amnesty’s deputy director for Africa, said in a statement from Nairobi that accompanied the report. The report quotes testimony from some 75 witnesses as well as scores of workers from non-governmental organizations. In one testimony, Haboon, 56, says her neighbor’s 17-year-old daughter was raped by Ethiopian troops. The girl’s brothers tried to defend their sister, but the soldiers beat them and gouged their eyes out with a bayonet. Amnesty reports that “a young child’s throat was slit by Ethiopian soldiers in front of the child’s mother.” The report quotes Butaaco, aged 30, who fled Mogadishu in October 2007, as saying: “I saw girls get raped in my neighborhood and on the streets. I saw people get slaughtered. I saw people killed in their houses, their bodies rotting for days. It happened to my neighbor’s two girls.” In another account, a witness named only as Ceebla’a says she saw Ethiopian soldiers rounding up three men, whose bodies were found in the street the next morning. One had been strangled with an electrical wire, another had his throat cut, while the third had been chained ankle to wrist, his testicles smashed.
The release of the report coincided with the second day of protests in Mogadishu against soaring food prices. Government troops have fired into tens of thousands of people who marched and rioted to demand that food traders accept old 1,000-shilling notes. At least two demonstrators were killed and several others were wounded. The protesters, including many women and children, jammed the narrow streets of the bombed-out capital, shouting, “Down with those suffocating us!” “First we have been killed with bullets, now they are killing us with hunger,” said Halima Omar Hassan, a demonstrator who works as a porter, carrying goods for people on her back. In Mogadishu, the price of corn meal has doubled since January. Rice has increased to $47.50 from $26 this year for a 110 pound sack. The Somali shilling is valued at roughly 34,000 to the dollar—less than half what it was a year ago.
The United Nations food security unit warned recently that half of Somalia’s 7 million people face famine, pointing to drought as well as food prices.
In December of 1992, the United States sent 30,000 troops, a naval armada, planes, tanks and attack helicopters to Somalia to relieve a famine in the country. “Operation Restore Hope,” launched by the outgoing administration of the senior George Bush and continued by the new Democratic administration of Bill Clinton, was carried out to regain control of Somalia following the fall of the US-backed regime of longtime dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. It is now being employed in alliance with some of the same warlords that US forces were fighting 15 years ago.

52 Somalis killed after drifting 18 days in boat
SAN'A, Yemen - Somali refugees abandoned by smugglers in the dangerous waters of the Gulf of Aden drifted for 18 days, and at least 52 died before the group was rescued off the Yemeni coast, the U.N. said Sunday. Seventy-one people survived the journey. The boat broke down within hours of leaving Somalia on Sept. 3, bound for Yemen and carrying 124 Somalis, the U.N. refugee agency said. The crew abandoned the boat for another craft and never returned for the refugees, who threw bodies overboard as fellow passengers died, the UNHCR statement said.
Eventually, the boat drifted close enough to southern Yemen that three passengers tried to swim ashore. Two managed to alert rescuers; the third never made it. The Yemeni coast guard rescued 71 refugees on Sept. 21, the UNHCR statement said. Hundreds of Africans die every year trying to reach Yemen, with many either drowning or being killed by pirates and smugglers in the dangerous waters separating Somalia and the Arabian peninsula. Those who survive the journey register with the U.N. refugee agency and stay in refugee camps in Yemen, while others take jobs in the cities as laborers for less than a $1 a day. The agency said at least 31,192 people have arrived in Yemen on smugglers' boats so far this year — including 21,201 Somalis and 9,854 Ethiopians fleeing poverty and violence in their homelands. More than 228 people have died and at least 262 remain missing, the UNHCR said. According to the agency, people smuggling subsides in the summer months because of bad weather in the Gulf of Aden, but picks up again in late August and September.
Olmert decries 'evil wind of extremism' in Israel
Also, dozens of Israeli civilians entered the Palestinian village of Kufr Diek in the West Bank late Saturday, smashing the windows of several cars and homes, said the mayor, Jamal al-Diek. Israeli troops fired stun grenades, and two villagers were hurt, the mayor said. The military denied firing grenades. The rampage appeared to be in response to a shooting attack on an Israeli car in the area earlier Saturday. An Israeli was lightly hurt in the attack, the military said. In Jerusalem, Olmert told his Cabinet at the start of its weekly meeting that police were asked to move as quickly as possible to arrest those involved in the bomb attack Thursday on Professor Zeev Sternhell, winner of Israel's prestigious Israel Prize. Sternhell, a vocal critic of West Bank settlements, was lightly wounded in the bombing, which took place outside his home. Olmert said the attackers appeared to be part of "another underground" — a reference to extremists who bombed the cars of several Arab mayors, killed three students in a shooting spree at a West Bank university and masterminded a botched attempt to blow up a key Muslim shrine in Jerusalem in the 1980s.
"An evil wind of extremism, of hate, of maliciousness, of violence, of losing control, of lawbreaking, of contempt for the institutions of state, is passing though certain sections of the Israeli public," Olmert told the Cabinet. The violence "is threatening Israeli democracy and the ability of those in charge in Israel to make decisions, and the ability of people to freely express opinions without fearing that they will be hurt by wild and violent people, people who break the law and break the framework of normal democratic life," Olmert said. In citing interference in government decisions, he appeared to refer to warnings by hardline settler leaders that they will resist any attempt to dismantle Jewish settlements as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians. The Sternhell case revived demands in Israel that the army and police do more to rein in radicals. Jewish extremists often clash with Palestinians and Israeli peace activists in the West Bank. The attack on Sternhell, if indeed politically motivated as police suspect, would be one of the most serious cases of political violence inside Israel since a Jewish ultranationalist assassinated then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995.
At the Cabinet meeting, Defense Minister Ehud Barak urged tougher penalties for settlers who attack Palestinian property, the Haaretz newspaper reported. He told ministers that rampaging settlers rarely have been brought to court, and any penalties handed down have been extremely light, the newspaper said.

Indian police detain about 12 over Delhi blast
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condemned the attack and said India would tighten intelligence gathering, as well as the investigation and prosecution process, the Press Trust of India (PTI) said. Saturday's explosion followed a blast in the capital on September 13 that killed 23 people and wounded 100. Police said they were investigating possible links between blast and the Indian Mujahideen group, which they say is connected with Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba and Bangladesh's HUJI group. On September 19, police shot dead two Muslims in a raid, and said one of them was the mastermind of the New Delhi bombings and chief of the Indian Mujahideen operations in the capital.

Syria says terrorists coming from outside border
Assad has pursued indirect peace talks with Israel and says he wants direct talks next year. Syria also has agreed to establish its first formal diplomatic ties with Lebanon. It also says it has stepped up efforts to stem the flow of militants into Iraq. European, American and Arab officials have recently resumed visiting Syria. Most recently, French President Nicolas Sarkozy joined the leaders of Turkey and Qatar and came to Damascus to meet with Assad. Hours before Saturday's explosion, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem held a rare meeting in New York with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A car bomb killed at least 12 people and wounded 35 in southwestern Baghdad on Sunday, police said. The bomb exploded in a parked car in Baghdad's Shurta neighborhood in the early evening. Another bomb attached to a car in nearby Hay al-Amil killed one person and wounded another at about the same time, police said. Earlier on Sunday, a roadside bomb in western Baghdad's Mansour district killed one person and wounded three.

U.S. envoy set to visit North Korea.
(Reuters) - The U.S. nuclear envoy for North Korea, Chris Hill, is set to visit Pyongyang in coming days for talks with North Korean officials in a bid to salvage crumbling six-party denuclearization talks, a senior U.S. official said on Saturday. The official, who declined to be identified, said Hill had consultations in New York with other nations involved in nuclear talks with North Korea and they decided it would be a good idea for him to go to Pyongyang. The State Department refused to confirm Hill was going to Pyongyang but said he was traveling to Seoul, the South Korean capital, on Monday.
Mass psychos..Where a few psychopaths have turned a holy site for peace offerings to a tool of oppression, genocide, mass murder, crimes and war
The kind of denial by former mufti Ikrema Sadi is somehow disputed by no more than the institution he represented: the Supreme Muslim Council.
In an official guide published by the council in 1930, it states:
"This site is one of the oldest in the world. Its sanctity dates from the earliest times. It's identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot, according to universal belief, on which 'David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings' from 2 Samuel XXIV, 25."
Page 4
" Its identity with the site of Solomon’s Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot, according to the universal belief, on which “ David built there an altar unto the Lord , and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings”. (1)"--- and the foot note reads --"1) 2 Samuel XXIV, 25"
Page 16
" It dates probably as far back as the constructionof Solomon's Temple. "

It´s an altar built unto the Lord with offering of burnt offerings and peace offerings. Which a few psychopaths in the Iranian regime use, to have people screaming from south of Lebanon about Arab properties while having a ethnically cleansing and committing crimes against Arabs in south of Iran!
"Al-Quds-day" was invented right after the psychopathic Iranian regime stole the revolution and have been used ever since. It´s really clear to us all that the psychopaths have been using the Palestinians and maintained the conflicts in the region ever since, to be able to secure their destructive influences on people. "Al-Quds-day" and Jerusalem have served as their tools to impose terror, threats and oppression against both their own people and against people all over the region.In fact..Jerusalem, Palestinians and every one else have JUST SERVED TO BE ABLE TO CEMENT AND KEEP THEIR DICTATOR MANAGEMENT OVER THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND SPREADING IT WITH TERROR!
Sure we all can conclude Hitler was a psychopath..And the psychopaths in Iran is just as much of a psychopath and have turned the whole f***** region into a mass psychos..JUST as Hitler! In fact...It´s just a continuing of the Mutfi-Hitler agenda to serve as the Iranian psychopathic dictatorship management, where every one else are sacrificed just for a few psychopaths own gains.
And now the psychopath believes he can sit in U.N., denying the Holocaust, after they have maintained the Mutfi-Hitler agenda and attempt to demoralize the reasons and grounds for U.N.´s very existence. While people are risking their elderly´s and children's limbs to storm the Aqsa Mosque to claim Jerusalem as a Muslim property.
It´s really time for the rest of the world to wake up! Isn´t it..
And Hamas are busy with a prisoner swap, getting food for the day and saving the waters in Gaza..
Yeah..Turkey cut off the water and polluted the little that were left..

Kurdish people living in the north areas have the right to protection according to international laws, under Multi-national forces and a UN mandate
Kurdistan region and many international sides call Turkey to abandon military means and try on political methods to solve the problem, through providing more rights to the Kurdish nation in that country.
Today the KRG Ministry of State for Interior issued a statement condemning the Turkish air strikes against the Kurdistan region border villages on late September 25th, calling on the Iraqi federal government to have a stance on the bombings. “The Turkish airstrikes comes in a time when the Iraqi airspace including the Kurdistan region is under the control of the Multi-national forces according to the UN mandate,” the statement read. “While we condemn the Turkish bombing we call for the Iraqi federal government, the Multi-national forces in Iraq, and the world to have their position in response to these attacks which are considered a violation against the freedom and sovereignty of Iraq and the Kurdistan region.
Well..It´s obvious not enough since Turkey and Iran have done their out most to destroy conditions for peoples lives and living in the areas despite some lame protests from the Iraqi government.
As we said: There IS a designation on deliberately destroying peoples nourishment, cattle, livestock, infrastructure and conditions for making a living! And it´s very clear to us that the Iraqi governments influences does not reach beyond certain areas and the North of Iraq. Or south of Kurdistan!
The Kurdish government and people have the right to defend their people living there, claiming right to self determination, right to self defence, and have every right to make independent decisions outside the Iraqi government, concerning security and their own peoples lives. Since the Iraqi government is tied with a implementation of this conditions which makes the people there live without any rights, outside international laws and every other law and at the same time under the Iraqi government which have no influences what so ever over the areas, with Turkey and Iran committing crimes against the people living there, using conflicts and even create conflicts in the region to commit their crimes the same way it has been done for decades.
And if it´s the only way to claim independence from Iraq in the Northern and Kurdish areas by the Kurdish government and responsible, when it comes to implement security and making conditions such that they are able to live there, for the people living there, in order to be able to protect a whole peoples future and lives, and such as giving them the right to aid from the red cross for an example, with taking their lawful right to work for security together with the internationally community and those means available.
May it so be!
There is a winter coming and the psychopaths of Turkey and Iran can throw themselves headlong into the nearest wall!
Tibet police chief, deputy governor sacked
Now...We need to restore the right spirit and atmosphere in the monasteries as it is a most spiritual place on this planet, and not a place for agony and tears, and actually realize every tourists and people from around the world coming there want to have the monks the same way as it always have been...for centuries.
And while we are already "at it"..If there are any young people jailed in China because of demonstrating we would very much like to see those released.
And it´s the same old record here as well..
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reminded the Council that Israel and the Palestinians continue their negotiations, along with many other partners. "The Quartet is the proper forum for those negotiations," she pointedly told the council. Abbas said that "A definite end must be put to settlement diplomacy." Saudi Prince Saud Al-Faisal said the settlement problem is the "one issue that threatens to bring down the whole peace process." He said that addressing it was the only way to save the peace deal brokered in Annapolis, Maryland, early this year by Bush Administration. Friday's debate seemed to signal that time had run out for the quiet back-door talks favored by the Annapolis process. Saud called on Israel to "cease all settlement activity including the issuance of permits." Amr Moussa, speaking for the Arab League, noted that "there are only three months left in the year 2008 and there is no sign" of a Palestinian state emerging. New Israeli UN ambassador Gabriela Shalev replied that a stranger visiting the UN might suppose from the debate that Hamas violence, missile attacks fired over Israel's border, the buildup of Hizbullah forces in Lebanon and Iran's nuclear ambitions posed no problem to the Mideast peace process. "While settlements remain a delicate issue, they are not the principal one," she said. "We in Israel are committed to a two-state solution," Shalev said. "We continue to negotiate with the Palestinian president." "Israel is prepared, if the conditions arrive, to make painful concessions" on the settlement issue, she said.

Smått irritating..We give you a "push" while Abbas shows his maps..
Now..We have start to hear acknowledgements from Israel you do have a problem with rightist, activists, settlers and obvious have had a problem with your coalition government, where some people are not on the same platform which you were elected on. There is nothing new to us about this but it´s a good step to acknowledge it. We know there have been pressure from Shas about expanding settlements and...
We all know there are sociopaths and psychopaths with their puppet-psychopaths which both use the peace process, the road map, conditions on the ground to work against the peace process and agreements between Palestinians and Israelis against human rights and every law there is on this planet.
Now..houses and settlements can be moved..It can be solved with the right will..But Israel do need to have a coalition on the same platform, with the same goals and visions. Even if there are security issues and people working against both Palestinians and Israelis to maintain and exploit the conflict for their own purposes, there must be a mutual respect for each other during negotiations. You are two people that are going to live in peace and there must be a change of attitude. We can not have some people in the Israeli government that have such a hurry to build and believes it´s okay to show us such attitude towards the ones they are going to live in peace with and are negotiating with that they give us the impression they are exploiting those psychopathic methods to stand against peace for their own purposes to expand settlements and working against peace efforts themselves. This is undermining both the peace process and the ones you are negotiating with. And we really do not like the attitude towards the Palestinian authority to start building in the middle of negotiations. It does not give any ones credibility from the Israeli side, and it´s nonchalant toward the internationally community, the Palestinians and every one working to achieve understandings to start constructions during negotiations, whatever the outcome of agreements of settlements, borders etc.. will be.
Economics..And a attack on the establishment of the U.N.
Just as it is time for the internationally community to realize that a denial for the very grounds of the establishment of the U.N. is also a attempt to demoralize all it´s grounds for existing! And that IS psychopathic methods!
As we said: We can not be manipulated! We scanned some people LONG ago! And there are no psychopaths with their manipulations that stand a chance in here! They can turn their skin out side in - the only thing they will achieve is to stand in shame! A history in shame! We have not come here for some "media-games" or because we have nothing else to do!
Get that! We have warned you over and over again! We know your thoughts and YOU DON´T STAND A CHANCE! There are no weapons, no nuclear, no verbally manipulations, no terror acts, no propaganda, nor anything you can use for justifications for hostility and crimes against people all over the region and beyond! CHANGE! Or you have tangled yourselves into so much problems you will find no way to justify it or find a way out of it!
And we have a responsibility towards North Korea.
Yeah..And it´s used without limits or any considerations to any ones or anything!
So..When others are ready to pick up the pieces after hard sacrifices...
There IS a designation on deliberately destroying peoples nourishment, cattle, livestock, infrastructure and conditions for making a living!
It´s very clear to us that Iraqi´s commercial- economic policy, tourist industry, branch of industry, human rights, international laws, natural protection etc..Does not reach beyond certain areas and the North of Iraq which is really not North of Iraq but a place in limbo, implemented with water resources, or lack of water resources and other methods by the Turkish and Iranian regimes under the Iraqi government to be shelled and destroyed both natural environment and peoples lives..So..We can see every reason for the Kurdish people to claim it as theirs totally and historically, and have every right to defend their people living there, claiming right to self determination, right to self defence, and have every right to make independent decisions outside the Iraqi government concerning security and their own peoples lives in the area as their own land, historically and with every right there is on this planet!
This psychopaths stands and shakes hands at very moment they keep committing crimes against a people they have done that against since 1925. This psychopaths deny genocide, human rights, works against peace in the region and will not end their genocidal "war-fare", which is a ethnically cleaning of people in the Northern areas and have been so for decades
So ...We would like to see a declaration of Independence from Iraq by the Northern and Kurdish areas in order to be able to protect a whole peoples future and lives. And do a documentation and collect every thing you can to get this crimes to a court of Justice! And there is enough documentation to gather of declarations for case fires, calls for solutions, laying down arms, diplomatic solutions in democracy, politically representatives calls over and over again to show that those reasons claimed as justifications for committing this crimes is somehow watered down with a refusal to respond..on anything really!

As we said: Peace do not just come out of paperwork..
There is increasingly widespread doubt about meeting Bush's target of a peace deal, including agreement on creation of a Palestinian state, before he leaves office in January. Despite that, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Reuters "I think it's possible" to reach an accord this year. "I will pursue negotiations with Mr. Olmert and I will never cease to negotiate even with his successor," Abbas said.
But Abbas said that unless Israel halts expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank, "It would be futile to dream of the peace that we all hope for. Because if we fail, if we do not attain peace, then the alternative poses a serious threat. And everyone knows what the alternative is." "The alternative will plunge the entire region into the deadly cycle of violence once again. I don't even wish to imagine what that might lead us to," he added. "We will continue to strive for the achievement of the maximum progress possible in the current negotiations between us and Israel through the end of this year."
Peres told the assembly on Wednesday he now hoped for a deal next year. "Israel is prepared, if the conditions are ripe, to make painful concessions in the pursuit of peace," Shalev said. Symbolic of that view, she said, was Peres's meeting with Abbas shortly before the Council meeting, which was called at the behest of Arab countries to air grievances against Israel. Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa said Israeli-Palestinian talks were "futile because there isn't any progress and no Israeli suggestions in the face of the many initiatives presented by the Arab side." Shalev denied the settlements were "an obstacle to peace." Israel has insisted it has the right to build in large enclaves it intends to keep under any future peace deal. Addressing the Council, Rice, who has criticized Israeli settlement growth, said the Palestinians as well as Israel have yet to fulfill all their obligations under a peace "road map."

Even if there are no reasons what so ever to not continue the process there are as little reasons for violence. In fact..There are no justifications for violence at all, not from any one neither settlers or concrete- throwing Palestinian youths! So stop this talk of violence as there are already a lot of work to do to get some order from violence! From "both sides"! And a lot of other things to do to make conditions better and it´s a continuing work that takes time. And yes..We are missing voices to call on Hamas to take their responsibility! They have no rights what so ever to sit like spoiled kids yelling, open their mouths and get feed without taking any responsibility for the Palestinians, their future and peace! But that is also no reasons to assume things and build on those assumptions instead of negotiating!
Yeah..It´s hysterical. Obvious there is need for rules as to many can not visit the Dome of the Rock at the same time!
Wailing wall- 1901..visited..
It´s hysterical and elderly and children shouldn´t be there as they risk to be stamped, crushed or hurt. We see a danger to peoples safety here! And while the psychopaths use Jerusalem the same way as the Mutfi that worked with Hitler, and force their people out on "al-Quds day" just as Turkey and Syria at the same time they denying the Kurds their independence and are occupying the Kurds land, denying them their human rights, their identity, language, shelling, killing livestock's and make people homeless it´s obvious they use Jerusalem as another tool of oppression and working against peace for nothing but their own gains!
And it´s the same with Afghanistan..We need to get in aid there before the winter!
"Due to the hard work of the elders who were negotiating with the "Taliban", 118 of the workers have been released," the governor of Farah province Rohul Amin told reporters. "We have released 118 of these workers and the rest soon will be freed soon," "Taliban" spokesman Mullah Wakil said by telephone from an unknown location.
Good! Can you get back to be ordinary Afghans instead of committing a collective-Suicide-genocide which really do not serve in any ones interests except from a few psychopaths and we can get some calm now and get in some aid before the winter? Or what the heck are you people eating to stay alive? And what the heck is a Taliban? We never heard of you when we went down the old silk road. Neither anywhere along the rivers to СамарOанд. You must have come from nowhere or you have a serious identity crises..Which are your ancestors and where from? History? Identity? Heritage? Culture? We can not find it anywhere..It must have been stolen..or what?
Vaf****n é en Taliban?
People of the world have a obligation towards the children of North Korea! And that´s it!

We must do everything we can to support the Korea's toward stability and understandings and do our out most to get in aid and a continuing of the positive cooperation with North Korea. Korea´s have had their share of really hard times and it´s time to turn those hard times to good ones. We love the children of Korea and will not have them going through a hard winter again! Korean children are a joy to the world and we treasure them..

Gousch..This is nagging..
Yeah..
Yeah..That´s what you do..You talking PASS each other..We know it might be a new experience but you need to find that middle point where you actually having a dialogue where you understand each other..And then we have some other paid idiots, as we assume they don´t have a decent work to make a living, trying to work against stability in Gaza..It´s really obvious that "Hamas sign of strength" isn´t enough..They should work with Egypt and throw them out of there if they don´t start to act in the interests of the Palestinians..Well..Considering those criterias maybe Hamas should need to throw themselves out as well..
Well..Let us remind you that there is a kidnapped hostage in Gaza!
We are going to have a prisoner swap and need all the time in calm to get it go through! And then we will have arrangements at the border and there can be as many boats you ever wish going to Gaza! But until there have been a prisoner swap you are really not doing any good for the process of a prisoner swap and better conditions to end the siege, so it´s good to wait until a prisoner swap have taken place..
Well..Yeah..Mr President Asif Ali Zardari..
Mideast peace takes center stage at United Nations
The so-called Quartet — the U.N., the U.S., the European Union and Russia — is meeting at a difficult period in the region. Quartet members are also scheduled to attend an Iftar — the meal that breaks the day's fast during Ramadan — with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Arab partners on Friday night. Ban also met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday evening. Also Thursday, top EU officials met with Ryad Al Malki, the Palestinian minister of foreign affairs, in an attempt to take a greater role moving the peace talks forward. "This meeting, which took place at crucial time in the peace process, and on the eve of the meeting of the Quartet, provided an opportunity to discuss the European Union's enhanced role in the peace process deepening relations between the European Union and the Palestinian Authority," the EU said in a statement. But a group of leading aid agencies, including CARE, Save the Children and Christian Aid, issued a report Thursday warning the Quartet process was failing and called for more action and less words. "The Quartet has fundamentally failed to improve the humanitarian situation on the ground. Unless the Quartet's words are matched by more sustained pressure and decisive action the situation will deteriorate still further.
On Friday, the U.N. Security Council will hold an open debate at the ministerial level on the ongoing Israeli settlement building in disputed territory. Saudi Arabia requested the debate to coincide with the General Assembly, which has brought a host of world leaders to New York. Public speeches are expected from Saudi Arabia and the Arab League, and probably Israel speaking in response, but no council resolution on the matter is expected. Continued Israeli settlement construction and Israeli security concerns have clouded Middle East peace negotiations. Both Palestinians and Israelis have expressed doubt about achieving an accord before Bush leaves office.

And North Korea shall just cool off! F*n!
What´s this all about really? North Korea have made a lot of work and trouble to dismantle. So work with some inspectors and get it over with..We shall have a free-flowing aid and it´s clearly connected to inspectors and a cooperation, nothing else! It´s a hard winter coming and North Korea really need to get your country going. We will not have more children in Korea facing a hard winter again just because of some peoples difficulties to cooperate and work together! Get over it! We shall have inspectors and getting North Korea cleared from any lists! We will not have hungry children and disasters because of psychopaths bullshit talks and Russia is sailing around planting nuclear!
Work it out! We will not have children in North Korea facing a hard winter again because of your South-North-West-U.S - East- Coordinational points "problems"! This planet is round, goes around and life is more than latitude, longitude and altitude!
And get the hell out from Iran - fast! Because if you don´t manage to take yourselves to destruction - the psychopaths are working hard on to get you there! They don´t give a damn about any hungry children, or children at all! Children to them are just tools to serve as living weapons, just as every one else!
North Koreans have lived on their own "little island" in hard times long enough! Get the hell out from Iran! We shall have North Korea as a part of the rest of the world and the internationally community!
F***** psychopaths using every one they can..No matter what problems they have, or just because they have, or they make problems!
What the hell have you people been up to the last decade? Throwing people in the arms of psychopaths or what? Yeah..Put a terrorist stamp on every one being victims of the psychopaths crimes and help them eliminate every oppositions there is! Good! Just Great!
