4:11a	In a startling break with the official White House and Downing Street lines, Mr Perle told an audience in London: "I think in this case international law stood in the way of doing the right thing." President George Bush has consistently argued that the war was legal either because of existing UN security council resolutions on Iraq - also the British government's publicly stated view - or as an act of self-defence permitted by international law. But Mr Perle, a key member of the defence policy board, which advises the US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, said that "international law ... would have required us to leave Saddam Hussein alone", and this would have been morally unacceptable.

7:34a	The Cotton Patch Version of the New Testament Matthew: 1. When Jesus was born in Gainesville, Georgia during the time that Herod was governor, some scholars from the Orient came to Atlanta and inquired, "Where is the one who was born to be governor of Georgia? We saw his star in the Orient, and we came to honor him." This news put Governor Herod and all his cronies in a tizzy. So he called a meeting of the big time preachers and politicians, and asked if they had any idea where the Leader was to be born. In Gainesville, Georgia," the replied, "because there's a bible prophecy which says: 'And you Gainesville, in the state of Georgia, Are by no means the least in the Georgia delegation; From you will come a governor, Who will wisely guide my chosen people.' " 7. Then Herod called in the scholars privately and questioned them in detail about the exact time of the star's appearance. And he sent them off to Gainesville with this instruction: "Go and find out the facts about the child. Then tell me what you've learned, so that I too may come and honor him." They listened to the governor and left. And you know, the star which they saw in the Orient went ahead of them until it came and stood above the place where the child was. (Just looking at the star flooded them with great happiness.) So they went inside the house and saw the baby with his mother, Mary. They bowed down and honored him, and opened the presents they had brought him–gifts of jewelry, incense and perfume. And having gotten the word in a dream not to revisit Herod, they went back to their own country by another route. 13. After they had checked out, the Lord's messenger made connection with Joseph in a dream and said, "Get moving and take your wife and baby and highball it to Mexico. Then stay put until I get word to you because Herod is going to do his best to kill the baby." So he got right up, took the baby and its mother and checked out by night for Mexico. He stayed there until the death of Herod. (This gave meaning to what the Lord said through the prophet: "I summoned my son from Mexico.") 16. Then it dawned on Herod that he had been duped by the learned men, an he really blew his top. He gave orders to kill all the babies in Gainesville and thereabouts who were under two, on the basis of the schedule which he had obtained from the scholars... (Comment on this)

10:05a	Из H-ANTISEMITISM In a message dated 11/20/03 2:54:53 PM, Albrecht Kolthoff writes: << My question to this list: have there been similar surveys in other countries asking about the population percentage of Jews? >> I cannot answer Albrecht Kolthoff's question - hope that another list member may do so. However, having lived in Germany before (Jewish pop.ca. 500,000), during and after the Third Reich, having lived there again in the 1960s, and visiting there at least once a year since the 1980s - I want to point out one important difference: The pre-WWII Jewish population in Germany differed vastly from the current Jewish population in Germany. The previous (and almost totally extinct) Jewish population in Germany was totally assimilated, intermarried with non Jews to a large degree. We were almost indistinguishable from our 'Aryan' neighbors, in-laws, erstwhile friends; hence the introduction of the Yellow Star was imperative. The current Jewish population in Germany is clearly distinguishable -externally- and, given the past history and the many justified accusations, memorial sites, literary output about the Holocaust experience, the general perceptions outlined by the poll which Albrecht Kolthoff cites, the non-Jewish population in Germany feels pressured and threatened. Anyone who has taken Psychology 101 can draw some important conclusions. Charlotte Opfermann. (Comment on this)
