Conflicted Feelings About the Capture of Saddam
Saddam, in his eccentric ways, symbolized the last drive for pan-Arab nationalism. In many ways, he was unrivaled.

Talk of Tikrit's Favorite Diner:

Eight Palestinians killed in Gaza invasion
Israeli occupation forces have killed eight Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as Israeli forces continue their deadly raids into the Rafah refugee camp. Witnesses said about 40 tanks and armoured vehicles entered Rafah refugee camp on the Gaza-Egypt border.

Israel has long since become a nuclear power, though the fact has never been officially acknowledged.
