Animal-woman...

A woman who disappeared in the jungles of northeastern Cambodia as a child, has apparently been found, after living in the wild for 19 years. According to my sorses she was found naked, and looked more like an animal then like a woman.

A fire in a Dubai high-rise apartment building on Thursday, triggered nightmarish images reminiscent of Sept. 11, with one construction worker falling to his death, and dozens of workers trapped above the blaze, trying to scale the building's exterior.

The United States is criticizing China's anti-satellite weapons test, in which an old Chinese weather satellite was destroyed by a missile. The Chinese are warned: do not shoot down any American spy satelittes, or else...

Those were the headlines for today. Imagine: living alone for 19 years in a jungle. A woman in Cambodia disappeared when she was 8 years old, and lived alone in the jungle for 19 years. According to the story, she would steal rice from farmers, and they captured her. The woman does not speak any language, not even the language of the monkeys like Tarzan did. And, to be honest, when Jane found Tarzan, he was at least a handsome guy. But this girl... don't get me started. The big question here is of course: what did she do all this time, and where did she hang out. Was she kidnapped, and never returned, and why did no one find her earlier?

The United States are not happy with the fact that China can shoot satelittes out off the sky. They concider space as their personal backyard, OK, they allow other players in, as long as they don't mess around with their toys. One of the main defence lines for the U.S. is their eyes in the sky, their satelittes, without it, they would be blind, and it would be very difficult to direct their soldiers and other weapons of destruction to their targets. So, the U.S. feel that China should not be allowed to have a weapon that can effectively blind them if push comes to shuffle. The United States have the capability since the 1980's to shoot satelittes out of space if they want to do so. This sounds a bit like nuclear weapons. It's OK for the U.S. to have them, and its very wrong if the competition got them as well. I would like to suggest to the Americans: learn to live in a world where everyone is equal. If you can have something, your brother in China is allowed the same.

But, as usual, I really, really don't care whatever you do, for whatever reason, as long as you don't forget to love a soldier. Love, Jenifer Bloom. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
