Blind Faith : America Idiocy
Americans believe in religion -- but know little about it.
The United States is the most religious nation in
the developed world, - Americans are also the
most religiously ignorant people in the Western
world. Fewer than half of us can identify Genesis
as the first book of the Bible, and only one
third know that Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount.
Approximately 75 percent of adults, according to
polls cited by Prothero, mistakenly believe the
Bible teaches that "God helps those who help
themselves." More than 10 percent think that
Noah's wife was Joan of Arc. Only half can name
even one of the four Gospels, and -- a finding
that will surprise many -- evangelical Christians
are only slightly more knowledgeable than their non-evangelical counterparts.

Americans get an 'F' in religion : Dumb and Ignorant
Sixty percent of Americans can't name five of the
Ten Commandments, and 50% of high school seniors
think Sodom and Gomorrah were married.
Stephen Prothero, chairman of the religion
department at Boston University, isn't laughing.
Americans' deep ignorance of world religions
their own, their neighbors' or the combatants in
Iraq, Darfur or Kashmir is dangerous, he says.
His new book, Religious Literacy: What Every
American Needs to Know and Doesn't, argues that
everyone needs to grasp Bible basics, as well as
the core beliefs, stories, symbols and heroes of other faiths.

Partners in Crime
Indeed, there is honor among thieves. Given that
the US under President Eisenhower delivered a
coup against the democratically elected Prime
Minister Mossadeq to appease the British, the
British have since been eager to fulfill their
obligations towards the Americans.

American Mugabe
If Americans could get beyond their training,
beyond Rove's marketing campaign, and beyond the
psychological horrors of first degree cognitive
dissonance, what they'd see is a president who -
like Mugabe in Zimbabwe - came to town to fill
his pockets, and just as fast as he could.

Iraqi Oil Belongs To The Iraqi People
A new Petroleum Law will be presented to the
Iraqi Parliament that, if enacted, will put
effective control of Iraq's vast oil resources in
the hands of foreign companies. Nationalized
since 1975, Iraq's oil was, before the years of
sanctions and the invasion, the foundation for a
relatively high standard of living, producing
more PhD's per capita than the U.S. and a health
care system prized as the best in the region.

McCain Strolls Through Baghdad Market,
Accompanied By 100 Soldiers, 3 Blackhawks, 2 Apache Gunships
Sen. John McCain strolled briefly through an
open-air market in Baghdad today in an effort to
prove that Americans are "not getting the full
picture" of whats going on in Iraq.
NBCs Nightly News provided further details about
McCains one-hour guided tour. He was accompanied
by "100 American soldiers, with three Blackhawk
helicopters, and two Apache gunships overhead."
Still photographs provided by the military to NBC
News seemed to show McCain wearing a bulletproof
vest during his visit. Watch it:
McCain recently claimed that there "are
neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could
walk through those neighborhoods, today." In a
press conference after his Baghdad tour, McCain
told a reporter that his visit to the market
today was proof that you could indeed "walk freely" in some areas of Baghdad.
