Since our politician still can’t decide anything alone we receive a lot of foreign politicians in Lebanon. One of our regular guest in the French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner, we got used to seeing him once a month on TV since the crisis started so here are some facts about him that might interest you.
Actually it’s not one, it’s 11 new Robinson Crusoe and they were not lost in an island, their ship wrecked in Russia and they managed to survive for 3 months from fish they caught and some flour they found in an old abandoned military base! Read the complete story from BBC here.
Here’s a selection of some war quotes I like that I found on the net, all of them are true but people will never learn that war never solves anything!
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason. -Ernest Hemmingway
War does not determine who is right – only who is left. -Bertrand Russell
The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations. -David Friedman
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets. -Voltaire, War
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity. -Author Unknown
You can’t say civilization don’t advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way. -Will Rogers, New York Times, 23 December 1929
and finally I hope that …
A day will come when a cannon will be exhibited in museums, just as instruments of torture are now, and the people will be astonished that such a thing could have been. -Victor Hugo
EDIT: The article is apparently old. The Girl was freed, check the comments for more info.
The crazy regime in Iran is about to commit a new crime! They are sentenced a 17 years old girl to death by hanging for defending herself against three men that wanted to rape her! The 3 rapists attacked her in a park so she stabbed one of the attackers who latter died in hospital and this act of self defense is getting her a death sentence!
What’s more crazy about this is that if she did not resist rape she would have been killed by her relatives to preserve the “family honor” or she would have been stoned as adulterer.
I don’t really know what the world can do to stop this but you can’t find some ways to help in the original article.
1010 girls broke the world record for the biggest number of girls in Bikinis on an Australian beach! That’s nicer than the record for the biggest bowl of Tabouleh or Fattouch people do here!

Jacques Martin the presenter of L’Ecole des Fans, A French TV show were children aged 3 to 10 would sing in front of a featured star every episode passed away today!
I used to watch the show when I was a kid and it was nice and funny. Here’s a video of the best moments of l’Ecole des Fans.
Bin Laden appeared in a new video with a new look! His beard is now black and shorter! He also want Americans to convert to Islam so he can make peace with them!
Here’s a Before/After shot of him taken from the Times Online.
Last night Israel bombed Syria!! The Syrian fired at the planes but as usual they did not hit anything, I wonder were are the Migs hiding? The weird thing is that Syria just made the news public and an Israeli did not comment! The Syrians also made a threat to Israel: “if they repeat this something bad will happen”.
I thinks that’s a message from Israel to Syria gently explaining to them that they are still stronger and that they can attack them any time they want no matter what kind of weapons they buy from Russia.
PS: I just hope the Syrian reply doesn’t come through Hezbollah!
