Wesley Audrey's daring rescue, of a teen who fell on the subway tracks, earned him the unique title "the hero of Harlem" on Thursday, plus $10,000 from Donald Trump, and a trip to Disney World. Way to go, Superman.
Wife of 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin handed tape of death. Authorities gave the video of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's fatal encounter with a stingray to his family, and destroyed all copies, to prevent the grisly footage from being made public, an Australian state coroner said Thursday.
A Web video of Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, surfaced Thursday and called on Muslims throughout the Middle East to wage a jihad against Ethiopian forces occupying Somalia. "You have to use ambushes and mines, and raids and suicidal attacks until you rend and eat your prey as the lion does with his prey," al-Zawahiri declared.
Those were the headlines for today. I don't want to say to much about Superman Wesley Autrey or Crocodile hunter Steve Irwin. Wesley is in my eyes a "Superman", and I would like to have a date with him. And I do respect the fact that the tape containing images of Steve Irwin's death will NEVER be released to the public. What is more disturbing is the message from Ayman al-Zawahiri in which he called on Muslims to wage a Jihad against Ethiopian forces. The fact that Al Qaeda, which is a terrorist organisation, encourages Muslims to commit suicide is deplorable. And depicting Ethiopian forces as "American" is plane and silly stupid. The majority of Americans couldn't care less about Ethiopia, and Ethiopia is certainly not seen as an important American aly in that part of the world. It would be nice if all sides could agree to leave religion out of the equation, when waging wars. If you fight a war, then please concentrate on the real reason: that is economical power. So, waging a Jihad is a very stupid and irresponsible thing to do.
But, as usual, I don't care whatever you do, for whatever reason, as long as you don't forget: Love a soldier. Love, Jenifer Bloom. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
