PICTURES OF THE YEAR

Farewell to a Little Giant: A riderless white stallion follows the coffin of Jordan's legendary King Hussein, the "Plucky Little King" and Mideast peacemaker who succumbed to cancer in February. The monarch who had ruled from age 17 until his death at 63 enjoyed a love and respect unique across the region’s fractious divides, and beyond. He was a linchpin of regional peace, and one of his last acts was to encourage Israeli and Palestinian leaders to make a leap of faith in signing the Wye Accord. Weeks before his death, Hussein named his 36-year-old son, Abdullah, as his heir.

   Not intending to start a flame-war, but...do you have any idea how irritatingly bizarre your posts appear to others? Anytime the subject of a thread even remotely approaches Israel or the Middle East, you can be counted on to post a picture related to 'the little horn'.

   Even if you believe in biblical prophecy, even if you believe in 'the Anti-Christ', even if you believe that Abdullah has some connection to these...what is your point? Or do you even really have a point?
