Tsunami warning...

North Korea condemned today, the deployment of U.S. stealth fighters in South Korea, as an act of aggression, aimed at launching war against the communist country. A squadron of F-117A Nighthawk warplanes, and some 300 airmen from Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, arrived in South Korea earlier this week for routine training. The deployment typically lasts four months.

A powerful magnitude 8.2 earthquake off northern Japan triggered tsunami warnings today, sending thousands fleeing to higher ground, but causing no reported injuries or damage.

Somali lawmakers voted today to authorize the government to declare martial law, the deputy parliament speaker said, as the country's internationally recognized leaders struggle to assert their authority, after battling an Islamic movement, that had controlled much of southern Somalia.

Those were the headlines for today. Nothing much happened in the world, and that is actually very good news. OK we have our normal hotspots in Iraq and North Korea, but I'm getting tired of writing about them. There was this big earthquake in Japan, 8.2 on the Richter scale, which triggered a Tsunami alert. But, thankfully, nothing happened, and based on the magnitude of this earthquake, it's a miracle that no one got hurt. This was a real nice and quiet Saturday. Hope tomorrow will be the same.

And,as usual, I 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.
