Here’s a footnote to my earlier post that I noticed yesterday, but only had time to post now: Zim, the large Israeli shipping company, has a good working relationship with Dubai Ports and has come out in favor of DPW taking over the six US ports.

If Homeland Security is in favor, and Zim is in favor, then there’s no real cause for alarm here.

Three current new items, with a bit of commentary.

Item One: From a JPost editorial on 3/2/06:

“As the government of Tajikistan was busy demolishing the only synagogue in Dushanbe, UNESCO, the international body designated with preventing such atrocities, told this newspaper that it would make another appeal in the near future. It had better hurry.

In Tajikistan it is the government itself, in a premeditated fashion and in defiance of international protests, that has embarked on the destruction of a religious site – to create gardens for a new presidential palace.”
