The cat that sees your death!

What else is new?i get the feeling that these days i am getting more and more jaded and nothing seems to surprise me much.Cats were honored by the Ancient Egyptians and revered as the gods of the underworld.they were thought of as companions to the people who took their journey to the afterlife.Cats have always been associated with Mysticism in more ways than one ever since the age of the Modern man.
Maybe it is their eyes.anyway the recent 'ghost' cat to make the headlines is currently located at Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center,providence.the cat is a part of this hospital and makes rounds and for some reason is able to sense when patients are about to die.so when he makes such a call,he goes to the patient and curls up beside them.it seems that the Ancient Egyptians were right about cats after all.this is one story that is turning out to be a 'Meooow'!

cat,death,ancient egyptians,

36 killed in Iraq today!

Today the death count went up by 36 in Iraq.the violence seems to be fast spiralling out of control.with the U.S and the Iraqi forces continuing their operations to the north and the south of Baghdad to hunt the militants down,about 36 Iraqi citizens were killed today as a result of these operations.
What is becoming more and more obvious is that a very large chunk of the Iraqi populace are being killed either as a result of being caught in the crossfire between the militants and the U.S forces or as a result of 'over enthusiastic' action on the part of the Iraqi and the U.S lead forces.either way you look at it,the very population that the United States led alliance swore to protect are fast disappearing into their graves.is this what the war is all about?should not the iraqi people be allowed to live in some semblance of peace and democracy?personally,although i have never been to Iraq i think that the Iraqi citizens had more peace and security under Saddam Husein than they do under the current Iraqi government!

Iraq and bombs,again!

Iraq has been bombed again!this may not be suprising to many of us but what is shocking is the way that human lives are being wasted in Iraq.on the one hand it seems so esay to blame George Bush but the real truth of the matter is that even if the Democrats take the White House in the next election the killings will go on.
Not many people seem to have realised that all of these killings are taking place 'inspite' of the U.S security cover.today at least 25 people were killed on spot and about 60 were injured when another one of these car bombs went off.the solution to all of this is not in just the U.S evacuating Iraq but it is amongst the iraqi's themselves.all of the major players in Iraq are battling amongst themselves so as to get more power and as a result of this chaos,the militants are stepping in to do as much damage as they can.but theres another worrying aspect to all of this,that is,the ordinary Iraqi politician trying to whittle down his rival's power base by planting a bomb in his/her neighbourhood.that too is entirely possible.i do not think that the U.S administration made a correct choice by giving Saddam Hussein to the oraqi;s for trial and then keeping quiet when they hanged him.now his death has left a huge power imbalance and all the political heads are fighting amogst themselves for power,and in the process they are killing the very citizens over whom they wish to exercise thier power.
and of course there is also the sectarian side to the violence.people must understand that violence knows no religion,caste or creed.the militants are covertly introducing a sectarian war and unless someone steps in,a civil war will very likely break out and it will be a bloodthirsty one.the car bombs will seem like a scratch compared to that.also Iran is waiting to see what happens to Iraq its lifelong enemy.everything is heading but in one direction the direciton of blood,chaos,unrest,sectarianism and death.but is anybody listening??
