Is it just me, or does everyone see it. The Associated Press has a picture today of Colin Powell meeting Silvan Shalom, the Israeli Foreign Minister. Powell looks like a gangster reaching into his coat for a gun, and Shalom is holding is hands out like he is saying "I'd like to wring your neck!" Sometimes body language gives away our true feelings.

The Muslim murder count continues, of course. Abu Sayyaf takes credit for bombing a market in Manila, Philippines, killing at least 13 and wounding 26. This, of course, was not a military, but civilian target. Only America must refrain from civilian targets, especially in Muslim countries. But, when the shoe is on the other foot, who complains? This is the second bombing in this market in two months. Not unexpectedly, it is in a largely Chrisian area. The terrorist group is not just ideological, but practical in their criminality. They call and demand $75,000 to refrain from bombing. AP reports that body parts from shoppers and sellers were strewn about the area.
