2009-01-05 Try a specialty burger or build your own at Abbey -

Any of these is a decent choice, depending on your mood; but I was actively unhappy with the lamb burger on pita. I expected it to be having a sort of Middle Eastern thing going, but instead of a juicy, sloppy burger in a pita pocket overflowing with yogurt, onions and cucumbers, it was quite sedate: rather dry, presented between two miniature pitas, with only a bit of yogurt.

I n an earlier column, I facetiously dubbed 2008 the Year of the Burger. I was inspired by the number of celebrity chefs like Bobby Flay and Laurent Tourondel who were opening burger joints, and on a local level by several white-tablecloth restaurants adding an upscale burger to their menus.

The sense of opportunity is evident in Uganda. On the road north from Kampala to the rural sub-county of Katine, numerous buildings have been spruced up and repainted in an eye-catching pink. This is an aggressive marketing stunt by the mobile network Zain, which operates in six Middle Eastern and 16 sub-Saharan African countries.

2009-01-05 In Gaza, the real enemy is Iran - Los Angeles Times

Until now, the Iranian revolution has appeared unstoppable. The Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s ended with Iranian troops occupying Iraqi territory. Iranian influence then spread to Saudi Arabias heavily Shiite and oil-rich Eastern province, and to Lebanon through Hezbollah. Since the fall of their long-standing enemy, Saddam Hussein, Iranians have deeply infiltrated Iraq. Syria has been drawn into Irans sphere, and even the Sunni sheikdoms of the gulf now defer to Iran, dispatching foreign ministers to Tehran and defying international sanctions against it. Iran has co-opted Hamas, a Sunni organization closely linked to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, transforming the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into a jihad against the Jewish state. But Irans boldest achievement has been to thwart world pressure and approach the nuclear threshold.

The images from the fighting in Gaza are harrowing but ultimately deceptive. They portray a mighty invading army, one equipped with F-16 jets that have bombed a civilian population defended by a few thousand fighters armed with primitive rockets. But widen the lens and the true nature of this conflict emerges. Hamas, like Hezbollah in Lebanon, is a proxy for the real enemy Israel is confronting: - Op commentary opinion

Large numbers of people of Middle Eastern descent, who have at times been ignored by the antiwar movement, attended. Iraq Veterans Against the War member Carl Davison said, "What is happening in Iraq is the same as what is happening in Palestine. This is the U. S. raining down imperialism against people who are almost defenseless, and it is unacceptable. "

Nayef, a young Palestinian American came to the protest with his family. "Im here because we need a protest to let the world know we must end the occupation," he said. "Its unfair and just not right to kill innocent civilians for no reason. " His 11-year-old cousin, Anas, said: "I wish that the people of Gaza could have enough food and for Gaza to be free. thats why I am here. "

2008-12-31 Home / Headlines / Fashionable Death in Gaza - Media Monitors Network (MMN)

The current situation and frustration of the Palestinian people has been deteriorating since 2000 when Israel imposed strict closures in an attempt to quell the second Intifadah (an uprising in retaliation to the illegal occupation and theft of Palestinian land), the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza has intensified since Hamas was elected in 2006. The international community, led by Israels number one ally and champion of democracy, the United States of America, forgot to warn Palestinians that were they to vote the wrong party into government, they would face crippling international sanctions. In the Middle East, the USA prefers dynasties or fascist despots, as tribal ignorance remains the foundation for both an easily controlled populace and theft of natural resources.

I got my wish for a new president. Now I hope (President-elect Barack) Obama will refocus Middle Eastern policy toward finding Bin Laden instead of forcing democracy on uninterested populations.
