Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, U.S. Navy talks about the increasing anti-US sentiment in the Arab World:
… Support for the war on terrorism is low, ranging from 56% in Kuwait to 2% among Jordanians and Palestinians. Support for America has dropped in most of the Muslim world. Favorable ratings in Morocco declined from 77% in 2000 to 27% in spring of last year and in Jordan from 25% in 2002 to only 1% in May 2003. The percentage of Saudi’s expressing confidence in the United States dropped from 63% in May of 2000 to 11% in October 2003. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Washington’s perceived pro-Israeli bias, was cited in some polls as a leading reason for anti-US sentiment. These conditions and increasing anti-US sentiment provide sustenance for radical political Islam at the expense of moderate elements… — Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, U.S. Navy

I never knew that Google served free lunch and dinner for their employees. And not any dinner too according to Ernie who just had dinner there a few days ago.
… Google serves lunch and dinner to their employees, all at no cost. The food is pretty posh: stuffed pork loin, grilled polenta, beverages in cans that were designed by industrial art students. House music is played while waiting in line. It’s kinda like being at Hometown buffet, except everyone is good looking and rich.
Now, that’s really cool.
I wish I worked in a place like that.
Good Technology and Good food, what more could a tech freak ask for ? lol
For quite a while, my wife and I have been looking around for a good new living room.
And after checking out every cool furniture store in Tunis more than once, we finally narrowed it down to a couple of options.
Anyway, yesterday we went to the furniture fair taking place in the Kram Fair to see if there’s anything exceptional that we haven’t seen before. We looked around, found some nice stuff, but nothing too special.
In the end, we passed by the stand one of our options had setup and we saw the living room we had liked in the store.
We thought quickly, chose it for good, talked to the guy at the stand, chose the colours we wanted, agreed on the price, and ordered it.
Because of the high demand generated by the fair, it’s due to be ready in a couple of months.
I just can’t wait till it’s done and in our home for us to enjoy and feel comfy in.
New York City Police Have A ‘Big Mac Attack’ As Florida U.S. Senate Candidate Andy Martin Launches Worldwide McDonald’s Boycott.
New York City Police were called by McDonald’s Corporation Tuesday, as Florida U.S. Senate candidate Andy Martin launched a worldwide boycott to show solidarity with Palestinians who are being discriminated against by McDonald’s in Israel. Martin held a news conference to ask diners to avoid eating at McDonald’s restaurant to “help fight racism in Israel.”
“We heard sirens in the distance, and suddenly two police cars filled with officers showed up and parked in the middle of the street,” said Martin.” People who knew nothing about the boycott suddenly wondered what was going on…”
“Our boycott was/is peaceful. In fact McDonald’s knew the boycott was peaceful, because we had warned them in advance. McDonald’s was apparently afraid of an outbreak of violence because of their racist policies in Israel. McDonald’s employees also tried to threaten and intimidate me. I was not fazed.”

Tunisia has delayed the Arab Summit that was due to start tomorrow morning in the capital Tunis.
The reasons of the delay are the big differences between Arab countries on the issues of reform, both for the Arab League as well as the Arab countries themselves, and the issue of peace in the Middle East.
Egypt is now trying to organize a summit in Cairo after 10 days, but Tunisia is holding on to its right to host the summit.
I totally agree with the Tunisian decision. This summit is about change; it
