U.S. Planes Strike Iraqi Air-Defense Facility
U.S. warplanes bombed Iraqi air-defense facilities on Saturday after coalition aircraft patrolling a "no-fly" zone in the south of the country came under fire, the U.S. military said. :: Iraq fires on coalition aircraft and the Allies respond using precision-guided weapons to take out the air defense facilities that targeted the planes. Sweet. Incidentally, my alternative headline for this would be Iraq Fires on Coalition Patrol. This places the emphasis on Iraq as the initiator of the attack rather than the Allied response after the fact. The actual headline can be interpreted in some quarters as another example of hegemonic bullying of the poor Iraqi underdog. I wonder why the news media has such difficulty with cause and effect? At any rate, this Reuters report is submitted for your war (Matthew 24:6) and Iraq destroyed (Jeremiah 51:29&37) files.

A Few Saudis Defy a Rigid Islam to Debate Their Own Intolerance
Prompted by the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, a cautious debate is taking place in Saudi Arabia's closed society over intolerance toward non-Muslims and attitudes toward the West that are now viewed by some as inspiring unacceptable violence. :: This is a chilling article about attitudes among moderate Islamics towards the West. Why? Because they are moderates and yet they still say things like: "'Well, of course I hate you because you are Christian, but that doesn't mean I want to kill you,' a professor of Islamic law in Riyadh explains to a visiting reporter." I know how much we in the West value peace, but we need to wake up, Huntington was right, this really is a war of civilizations. Islam has declared war on the West in general and the U.S. and Israel in particular and the sooner we accept this fact the sooner we will be able to devise an intelligent strategy for the war on terrorism...the war against Islam. At any rate, this New York Times article is submitted for your battle for Jerusalem (Luke 21:20) and war (Matthew 24:6) files.

Spain Sends War Vessels to Enclaves
Spain sent three war vessels to protect two Spanish enclaves on the Moroccan coast as its southern Mediterranean neighbor occupied a tiny, uninhabited Spanish islet for a third day Saturday. :: This is really interesting, and I'm not sure what to make of it.

Arafat Vows He Won't Step Down
Resisting international pressure that he leave office, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat declared Friday he would not step down — but also said he hadn't decided whether to run for office in January elections. :: This AP report is submitted for your covenant with many (Daniel 9:27) files. Arafat, the terrorist who came to dinner and stayed, and stayed, and stayed. Pundits like to say that the U.S. should not tell other countries who their leaders should be. Quite so. However, the Palestinian Authority is not a country, it's an administrative unit established under the Oslo process for the purpose of securing Mideast peace. If it is not fulfilling that function it is appropriate for the founders and funders of the PLA to demand changes.

Planners Raise Bar For Iraqi Invasion
A full-scale U.S. invasion of Iraq will require significant provocation by Saddam Hussein's regime -- such as invading a neighbor, fielding a nuclear weapon or attacking its minority population, top Bush administration officials have concluded. :: This USA Today report is submitted for your rumor of war (Matthew 24:6) files. I repeat, it's just a rumor. Actually, I think this is a nice bit of disinformation from the Bush team.

Don't leave the bunker yet, Saddam.
