The Iranians released the captured sailors for "Easter". Can you believe that? Looks like the Iranians got everything they wanted, and Blair is just making it worse by calling the Iranians a "great and mighty" people.

I don't see the problem with Blair calling them mighty, because they actually are. It's just that those who are more mighty are so bent on decreasing others' might instead of heightening their own that they won't recognize their might. I think we should be more bent on getting more "power to the people", so that no one would have a need to feel superior to anyone else... Sadly the world is a cynical place, and there's no real way to solve the problems we have.

Just got really annoyed just now after reading a leaflet dropped through my door from the British National Party nazi nasties, and since the local elections are comin up for most places in england I came to the conclusion this would be a current event and just wanted to say if you live in england and are old enough to vote...then vote...even if you dont agree with the political parties vote to keep the BNP at bay...the alternative is free pink triangles for all...nazis are sooooo last century...the enemy of my enemy is my friend...so vote for somebody with half a brain cell even if it means conforming to whoever normally gets in...don't not vote out of protest or apathy...cos seriously even though they've been trying to brighten their media image they'd still lock us all up given half a chance. Vote!!

Doesn't really matter though... He made an impact, so it isn't really necessary to know where he was from... Just like Hitler who was truly Austrian, we all remember him as German.

Austria is Germany . Oh, and I think a bunch of Greeks might take note with you saying "meh, it doesn't matter where he was from. Iran, Iraq, what's the difference?"
But yeah, Gwiffy, compulsory voting all the way. Peoples' thoughts? Music that people with taste are listening to this week:

Alexander the Great was from Macedonia. Mycenae was a part of Greece under Spartan control, which Alexander later conquered.
