I wish I was in the land of cotton,

Old times there are not forgotten,

Look away, look away,

Look away, Dixieland.

In Dixieland, where I was born,

Early on one forsty morn,

Look away, look away,

Look away, Dixieland.

Well, I wish I was in Dixie,

Hurray, hurray.

In Dixieland, I'll take my stand,

To live and die in Dixie.

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie.

whatever the "truth" is about the video...

The video is real alright. I am convinced it was all shot in one go with one handheld cam as the execution took place. The unsync is likely due to non-professionals encoding the video in an unproper manner.

My heart goes out to the Berg family.

I want the perpetrators catched and sentenced.

What is wrong with you guys? I cannot leave for a week without all hell breaks loose.

Afghanistan defended the murder. Jabar Khan, a Kabul shopkeeper, said: "This beheading is a good act. As a Muslim I support this act."

Are you sure that Afghanistan defended the murder, or is there some text missing from the above quoute? Like "But some in ..."?

You know, there are some guys in white robes who call themselves the KKK who, when they make just about any political statement, probably not talk for the government.

U.S. chipmaker AMD has broken ground on a $2.4 billion factory in Dresden that will manufacture silicon wafers. It's another coup for the eastern German city that has become one of the region's few economic bright spots.

Imagine that.

Yeah, AMD is outsourcing like any other company. From an economic pow, it's only a matter of time until the the wages in the former DDR has swung in pair with the rest of Germany and AMD has to move on again.

In the light of that Siemens strive to outsource their entire plants due to cost of salaries, it would seem that AMD is pretty stupid building a new factory here. They are, of course, welcome to do it.

I second that!! :dunno

Ayup.

Considering that this will be their second factory, I take it they have valued the stark success of the current plant as a positive experience. That and the sponsoring from the domestic taxpayers.

Dresden have had the label of a super high tech area ever since the Soviet Union days.

Siemens should consider moving there too

It's all not interesting what I hear here about my country.

The follwing is interesting and APPROVED by the United States (just yesterday another "veto" in favor of their Israeli friends):

Palestinians: 9 die in airstrike

Nine Palestinians are killed and 40 wounded after an Israeli helicopter fires a missile as demonstrators march in the Gaza city of Rafah, Palestinian hospital sources say.

The crowd was protesting Tuesday's Israeli offensive, which left 20 Palestinians dead and 35 wounded, Palestinian sources said.

Another celebration of the "glorious" Israeli army, who is helping

big brother to "terminate Terrorists".

Be proud of it.
