-I have been away from eljay for a bit, and have just caught up on my friends' list. hello all.
i hope that the xmas/ channukah situations went well for you.
i feel that the holidays are greatly dampened by the death of benazir bhutto. she was a serious force of democratization in pakistan and now, that is gone.
as much as i harp on the US messing things up over-seas and the hypocrisy in which our government conducts itself, it cannot be denied that the middle east and adjunct areas are messed up in their own right with decades of bad blood and history. with the minor exception of some stand-outs, the nations of the area really don't do themselves any favours, do they?
