At the moment I am suffering an awful migraine. It feels like someone tried to scoop my brain out with a grapefruit spoon, without waiting for me to be dead.

Angelina Jolie's film is now out on DVD. That was abrupt.

I will try to arrange renting and watching it, so I can give my own review.

My lesson was to never take nothing of this life for granted. Ever.

And a sadder point of unity...

I hate to see anyone go on hunger strike! It somehow bothers me more than a lot of other things.

Montenegrin Muslims have Turkish support:

http://www.worldbulletin.net/?aType=haber&ArticleID=87396

In fact it would be good to encourage this. Iran is not a desirable influence in the Balkans.

As well, Bosnian Muslims are Sunni, not Shi'a.

The Turks are natural allies anyway.

Another war crimes related case.

And what McCain had to say:

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/amanpour-mccains-call-to-arms-in-syria-has-echoes-of-bosnia-genocide/

I wonder however if McCain would say this under a Republican administration?

Another thing, what is going on in Syria is a LOT worse at this point!

Bosnia Hercegovina isn't an Arab country, it's in Europe. Every time the U.S. And Europe start mucking about in the Arab world, it's a Bad Thing.

Yes some form of intervention is called for, but I think it'd better involve Arab countries and possibly Turkey.

We have had rain mixed with snow here. Very cold.

The journey took 12 days. It might have gone more easily by camel cart.

I got the chance to introduce him around. His girlfriend and best friend hope to come spend time with me. I am totally looking forward to it!

I want to talk about the recent one man massacre of Afghan civilians, most of whom were women and children.

I am angry and disgusted. My blood boiled to read how this guy hauled a woman out of her home by her hair, how he burned bodies, and I wonder how one man could do all that?

It reminds me of stuff četniks did.

'Isolated incident' or not it was an evil and disgusting thing.

There were endless reviews of Jolie's movie. I am not posting any more of them until I see it myself.
