Snow Patrol Run

nd suddenly it was there, this beautiful song by Snow Patrol.



Run Lyrics

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Hirsi Ali on Holocaust denial

he conference organised last week by the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a sign of a great problem: anti- semitism in the Arab/ Muslim world.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali recounts how she learned about the Holocaust and the the reaction of her sister when she tells her what she has learned took place:

With great conviction my half-sister cried: "It's a lie! Jews have a way of blinding people. They were not killed, gassed nor massacred. But I pray to Allah that one day all the Jews in the world will be destroyed."

This view is brainwashed into muslim minds all over the muslim world. A message of hatred that we must confront with facts and education.

Jihad video's: who are watching and to what effect?

AP YouTube Choice |

Videos of smiling suicide bombers and insurgent attacks have become as important a weapon as explosives in Al Qaeda's global jihad against the West. The jihadis have seized on the power of the internet and their message cannot be silenced. But who actually watches these videos and what effect are they having on young people in the Muslim world?

Interview: Paul Kennedy

Wie Paul Kennedy´s boek uit 1988 kent over de "imperial overstretch" moet dit interview van Pieter van Os in de Groene lezen.

Enige tijd geleden was Henry Kissinger in Der Spiegel nog vaag en impliciet over wat hij van president Bush vindt. Kennedy kent "Henry" als collega en bevestigt mijn vermoeden; EEN GEVAARLIJKE GELOVIGE. Een politicus/ staatsman dient de loop van de geschiedenis aan te voelen en aan de jaspanden aan te klampen. NIET te denken dat de loop van de geschiedenis te overtuigen is.

Gedachte na lezing van interview: In Europa en elders in de wereld zou nagedacht moeten worden over een wereld met een VS die zijn positie als hypermacht kwijt is. Hoe chaos te voorkomen?
