Ms. Sheehan, Antiwar Protester, Returns To Crawford TX in time for President Bush's 10-day working vacation. This time she and her supporters have a legal spot of land on which to demonstrate. Ms. Sheehan coyly announced that she (her supporters?) brought a 5 acre plot near the President's ranch through an intermediary, as no local would have sold if they had known she was the purchaser. She also said the locals should learn to relax a little and get along with the demonstrators.
Ms. Sheehan is slightly confused as to why the locals have not been relaxed. They don't back her cause, and that is their right, but they accept she has a right to say what she wants. What they object to is the enormous circus that accompanies a Cindy Sheehan happening, and they are fed up of people trespassing on their land, blocking access and roads by their presence, the loss of privacy, the noise, trash and so on. That they do have a right to object to, and asking them to relax a little is not likely to improve their mood.
Israeli Vision For Lebanon Buffer Zone as related to BBC: (a) Israel will stop fighting once Hezbollah installations in the buffer zone have been eliminated. (b) Israel will withdraw and monitor the zone from its side of the border. (c) Israel will have the right to make air strikes and occasional ground incursions.
This is fantastic stuff - in the sense of fantasy. The UN is supposed to provide this? We warned that this is Israel's plan: it will blame the UN when the UN fails to do Israel's bidding, and it will attack UN positions at will.

Nah. Dont judge so fast. Read a bit more. Al least he isn't boring (other than his attempts at self-deprecating humour).
