My kids are 3 and 4.5 and they both LOVE this book. It's a super clever, fun, interactive book. It's simple but engages some basic skills like colors and counting. I can't believe it's not a best seller. We stumbled upon this book in a store and love it - I give it as a gift all of the time.

The driver was trapped in the cab after the truck crashed shortly before 10:30 p.m. in Baltimore County.
A helicopter airlifted the victim to a trauma center. There's no word on his or her condition.
No other vehicles were involved, and no one else was injured.

Rosé season is sneaking up, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate than with a bottle of this Basque-country beauty. Crafted with fruit from 150-year-old Hondarrubi Zuri and Hondarrubi Beltza vines and bottled with its characteristic Txakolina spritz, this refreshing rosé is full of fresh strawberry flavors balanced by stone minerality and a touch of salty sea air. Each year, this bottle flies off the shelves as soon as it's released, so be sure to pick up a bottle (or two or three) while you can. $22.50, coolvines.com

The shrine's flames burned violently, twisting and smoking greater than usual. Darkness was soon to descend upon them, and Rei seemed to be the only one with knowledge of this.
The outer senshi seemed to have disappeared or had probably been researching the issue long before the visions started. The violet eyed priestess how long it'd be before the great treachery would begin. Today? Tomorrow? Or maybe it already started somewhere else...
Rei looked to the sky, praying to an unknown god, asking for a peaceful future if it was at all possible.
How long had she been trapped in that hell? Her soul burned with anger, revenge on her mind. How were the senshi able to stop her, with her plan going so well?
Hotaru's will was much too strong and Super Sailor Moon's heart much too beautiful. Distaste went through her mouth as she thought about her final moments on Earth.
How could her master be stopped? It didn't matter anymore. There were others that could help her in this mission and all she needed was a heart that wished for revenge as much as she did.
And, here he was: "Awake! Awake! Time for rebirth!"*

Sneaker News 2014 Year in Review: Top 10 Reebok Releases by Sneaker News 4 Comments
May 15, 2012 BY John Kim / 20
In celebration of the news that surfaced earlier today, let's take a look back at one of Shaq's earliest signature sneakers with Reebok – the Reebok Shaq Attaq. The Shaq Attaq was actually O'neal's first signature shoe with Reebok, featuring a sleek futuristic design (a welcome deviation from the chunkier, more tank-like builds of other big-men sig models) with Reebok's Insta-Pump technology infused into the chassis and exposed carbon-fiber in the footbed visible through the outsole.. This gargantuan pair is a size 20, worn and autographed for the Orlando Magic behemoth during his rookie campaign, and with the news of a 2013 return of the Shaq Attaq, the spotlight is back on one of the most memorable signature lines of the 1990's. Check out the gallery below to refresh your memory on this classic, and head to the full listing (note: just the right shoe, not the whole pair) from ptblazer12 on eBay.

And that's the only reason I didn't include them in the discussion. It was NEVER intended to snub law enforcement. But even with their inclusion, I still personally don't see it as a viable threat. It's awful rare, regardless of whether it happens or not. And like you pointed out, Tack, it's just as likely (probably more so), to be killed in a car accident, and driving is something the vast majority do every single day. I, myself, have right at 20 thousand miles on a car that I'll have had for one year this coming July. I'll likely put another 5 thousand on it by then. Statistically, I should be dead as hell. Incidentally, I had a very close call this morning. (and I didn't even count the 100 miles plus that I drive every day, or every shift, in my work truck...when it has a working transmission...)
Trip, You wanted ONE story that didn't involve law enforcement, security guards and a whole list of other occupations. Well, here is the one you asked for.
No, they would never dream of trying to grab an OCer's gun.
So, there are reported incidents. Some with tragic outcomes. That is the kind of information Trip has been asking for. Is there any information out there relating to frequency of that situation? Still doesn't make OC invalid as a carry method. Retention holsters, focus on situational awareness, sticking to familiar surroundings, there are still a number of ways to reduce opportunities like the one in the article. CC would minimize the chance of these bad guys knowing Tyler had a gun on him. But it could also minimize his chances to use the gun in another situation with equally tragic consequences.
Balota "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Practice does NOT make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect. Check out 5th FTF Shoot & Hoot.http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f138/5th-ftf-shotgun-shoot-hoot-vanzant-mo-apr-11-12-2015-a-109479/
Consider it dropped.
So, I've tried a couple different approaches with a shot timer on my phone. By setting the sensitivity down around 60 dB it will pick up the click of the dry fire. First I tried a polo shirt tucked in. I found that I could pretty reliably clear the shirt in one pull. After practicing that for a while this morning, I tried some timings. Most were in the range of 3 to 4 seconds. Second I tried a polo shirt untucked with IWB holster. It conceals well enough and is easier to clear. Some more practice time and I'm down to 2.7 to 3.2 seconds. Third I went back to open carry OWB. Some more practice time and that technique is 2.3 to 2.5 seconds. I'm sure with practice all of these times will come down. I'm pretty sure that the times will remain in the same order. Fastest time is OC, next fastest is untucked IWB and slowest is tucked IWB. I've heard various Internet sources say a person needs to be able to draw and fire the first hit within 1.5 to 2 seconds. My opinion of most Internet sources is, frankly, not very high. But if a typical gunfight is over in 3 seconds or so, a draw time in that range does seem like a reasonable goal. God only knows how much practice I will need to get any of these in the desired range. And there will always be a difference between OC and CC. So here's the question. How much slower can the CC (IWB untucked) time be and still be preferable for self defense over OC (OWB)?
Remember what I said about not being the brightest bulb on the tree? I was carrying IWB with a small DeSantis tuckable holster. Went to the bathroom. When I lowered my pants, the bottom of the holster hung up on my leg, flipped over and dumped my gun on the floor. No ND, thank God. Yes, I know it was my error and not the holster's fault. Still, I wonder whether I should keep that holster or get another with less potential to flip, like a CrossBreed SuperTuck or similar?

Hi: 3° Lo:-4°
THE future of a multi-million pound project to transform land at Coventry Airport and create up to 10,000 new jobs remains uncertain after Warwick District Council deferred a decision on the scheme.
Hours of debate at Leamington town hall on Wednesday night (December 19) failed to generate a definitive outcome with councillors divided on the merits of the scheme and eventually agreeing to defer a decision until more details were provided in the new year.
Coventry City Council has already given its backing to the plan – which would cut through 700 acres of countryside around the airport to create a new technology park – but nearly 800 letters of objection were submitted by residents living around the area.
Mark Symes, chairman of the Campaign against Coventry Gateway, has expressed hope the government would 'call in' the decision if the scheme is eventually given the go ahead.
Communities minister Eric Pickles could ultimately have the deciding vote and has already spoken of the need for protection of green belt land nationally.
But following Warwick District Council's decision to defer, Graham Pardoe of scheme backers Coventry and Warwickshire Development Partnership, insisted: "We believe that Gateway presents a major regional and national economic opportunity which will attract considerable investment and job creation to the area.
"A significant amount of work and investment has gone into working up this application and we will work closely with officers and members to supply any other information they require to help them reach a decision."

Center was her pet project.
During a joint meeting of College of the Canyon's Board of Trustees and The Foundation Board Wednesday evening, a resolution was made and seconded by the entire College of the Canyons Board of Trustees.
The resolution declared that the new College of the Canyons University Center would be named the "Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook University Center."
The 110,000 square foot building is in the process of being built, and was a longtime dream of Dr. Van Hook.
The Dr. Diane G. Van Hook University Center will provide an on-campus site for numerous bachelor, masters and doctorate degree programs provided by outside universities.
Dr. Van Hook was honored by the resolution and moved to tears.

And welcome to my page! Well, introductions first. My name is Caroline and I am a junior at Stonehill College, which is located just south of Boston (an amazing city). I have been writing and working with CollegeFashionista for over a year now, which is crazy to think of. I love everything about CollegeFashionista; from taking street style photos, to writing articles and partaking in collaborations with well-known fashion brands, it's all an amazing adventure. I am currently studying abroad and love that I am able to travel all over and meet Fashionistas/os everywhere I go. In addition to my love for fashion, I love traveling, reading, eating (especially sweet and fried goodies) and country music. I may sound eclectic and a bit corny, but that is what makes me, well, me and hopefully my voice shines through my articles as well. I am eager for you readers to join me on this fun and fashionable ride, enjoy!
Style on,

The XFR is also quite lovely on the road. Heading north from Seville into the foothills of the Sierra Morena, we selected Dynamic Mode, a choice confirmed by a digitally rendered checkered flag in the driver-information display and one that results in more aggressive torque delivery, among other sporting responses. We also depressed Jaguar's now-signature rotating gear selector so that it could be dialed past its normal D-for-drive detent to the S-for-sport setting. Driven benignly, the XFR's differences from the stock car are subtle, but once the roads opened up, we noted the slightly quicker steering and the sharper chassis responses, the result of 30 percent stiffer front and rear springs and the Adaptive Dynamics active-damping system. And we certainly noted the instantaneous throttle response and the visceral way in which the 461 lb-ft of torque churns to the rear axle, where it's expertly distributed by the rear diff. The supercharger whine that marred previous Jaguar R cars has been replaced by enticing snaps and snarls from the exhaust at high rpm and a nice growl at start-up. In fact, the power delivery from this engine is so linear and progressive, and the soundtrack is so good, it's easy to forget it has a supercharger.
But then you come over a crest, and a long, empty stretch of one of the Sierra Norte Natural Park's expertly maintained roads opens up before you.
You hit the left paddle to downshift to third, and the crackle of the exhaust reverberates through the scrub oaks and pastures. The tach needle races toward 7000 rpm, and both the checkered flag and the number 3 in the driver display turn bright yellow, begging you to upshift. You oblige, the XFR leaps forward, and you realize that it's not just wishful thinking and the spirit of Sir William Lyons that are hurtling you toward the horizon, it is indeed a world-class supercharged powertrain and a perfectly tuned chassis. Jaguar's claim of a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.7 seconds seems believable. Quickly, very quickly, a decreasing-radius, downhill corner that cuts through a terraced wall of red-tinted rock comes into view, and the big front brakes - with fifteen-inch rotors - decelerate the 4169-pound sedan without fading. Who knew a Jaguar sedan could provide such thrills?

High School Athlete Star Dies In Maui Crash
Saturday, April 26, 2014
(Maui, HI) -- A high school athlete star apparently died after his car plunged 300 feet down a cliff. "Hawaii News Now" reports Hana High School senior Isaiah Pu-Akima was killed in yesterday's deadly crash. He played on the school's football and volleyball teams. His classmates are devastated. The high school football team is playing its last game of the season tonight, which is Senior Night, and they will be without Pu-Akima. Maui Police, which has not identified the victims, says a 17-year-old boy from Hana was behind the wheel of a 1998 Toyota Rav-4 pulling a trailer on Hana Highway near Lower Keanae Road. Investigators say the vehicle veered to the right, hit a guardrail and then fell 300 feet down the cliff. The vehicle landed on lava rocks and burst into flames. The driver died at the scene. An 18-year-old passenger, also from Hana, was thrown from the vehicle and survived with only minor injuries. Neither teen was wearing a seat belt. This is Maui County's tenth fatality this year, compared to four at the same time last year.

BioWare's released a new trailer for Mass Effect 3, in the process confirming a February 14 demo release date.
The trailer itself demonstrates the game's Kinect features, which were announced back at E3 in June.
The 360 motion sensor lets players read out dialogue from the game's conversation wheel to "converse" with characters, "launch tactical assaults" against enemies by issuing voice commands to your squad mates, and also select weapons and abilities just by speaking.
Mass Effect 3's out on March 6. Find out why BioWare's latest is set to be one of 2012's finest in this Mass Effect 3 preview.

I can't say for sure that I'd necessarily choose a droptop Mini over a Ford Mustang convertible, but I can confidently say that the Mini convertible is the most inexpensive, fun-to-drive, four-seat ragtop on the market today (not that the Mini's back seats are exactly huge ...). Like its coupe sibling, the Mini convertible handles like it's on proverbial rails and looks distinctive at the same time.
I especially like this car's cool-looking sculpted wheels. The paint scheme and stripes are even kinda cool, although this yellow is a bit rich for my tastes.
Like Joe D, I really like the half-sunroof feature that the Mini offers but find the visibility-impinging stacked ragtop to be a serious flaw. The top retracts with impressive haste, though.
I was slightly disappointed by the clearly apparent cowl shake (à la Toyota Camry Solara) when this Mini is driven over bumps, given that this is such a small car with a small wheelbase. There's a moderate amount of wind noise with the roof up, too, but the top-down Mini experience is worth these qualms.
I'm definitely not a fan of the current Mini's peculiar ergonomics (I felt this way about our Four Seasons Mini Cooper coupe, too). To wit, the climate controls are unclear and difficult to adjust, the one-touch windows sometimes take two taps to lower, and it can be tricky to set the windshield wipers on any setting besides off, superslow, or full throttle. I know owners get used to things like this, but that doesn't make them OK. But by no means do I think these issues are dealbreakers. Not many cars offer this much four-seat fun for the money.

I need to address the issue of the large rear wing and its potential to attract attention from the law. Last night I was getting ready to blow past one of the typical left-lane dawdlers on my commute, and I noticed a State Police car in the median just as my speedometer moved from a two- to four-point infraction. I quickly lifted, applied a little brake, and stuck with legal speeds after I saw the car. I was positive I'd be meeting another brave member of the law-enforcement community on the side of the freeway, but he never left the median. I can't call this wing a ticket magnet anymore.
Of course the real fun started when I left the freeway and had the opportunity to blast away from stop signs on two-lane roads. Even the cold, wet roads didn't pose a problem for Subaru's hottest hatch. I haven't had this much fun behind the wheel in inclement weather since our Four Seasons Mitsubishi Evolution MR left us. Pick as many nits with the styling or interior accoutrements in these civilian-class rally rockets, but you can't deny the powertrain's potency.
I totally understand why people are willing to pay $10,000 more for an STI than a WRX, and not one of them cares about the interior. These buyers want the maximum performance per dollar and willingly trade interior refinement in the name of speed. In a perfect performance-car world, everyone who enjoyed fast cars would be driving something like a Porsche 911, which has an interior as well executed as its powertrain. But in the real world, most people have to make compromises. Not a lot of people are willing to make the sacrifices to drive a car like an STI or an Evo, but the folks who decide to trade comfort for performance have no reason to be ashamed. If you also happen to be into outdoor sports like mountain biking or kayaking, the STI's more utilitarian interior could even be a bonus. It should be easy to clean and wear well over time.

An older but classic article showing that when the situation calls for it, it is indeed OK to have racial quotas in sports.
South African cricket chiefs have taken the surprise step of scrapping the racial quota system for senior cricket.
The decision was taken by the United Cricket Board of South Africa's General Council and from now on the national team and senior provincial sides will be picked entirely on merit.
The proposal had been drawn up at a weekend conference involving 150 cricket officials near Pretoria.
"Transformation will continue apace in cricket as we endeavour to take the game to everyone who wishes to play it and administer it in our country.
"But we now believe that cricket people are mature enough to take responsibility for that process," said UCB president Percy Sonn.
"We have seen enough real change to be confident that these sides can be selected on merit and that we have enough real quality players of colour that their presence in these senior teams no longer needs to be dictated by a quota system."
We cannot claim to have arrived at our destiny, but rather we will remain dynamic and adaptive in our response to our changing reality
UCBSA statement
Quotas will still be in place from provincial B sides down through junior representative cricket, where at least half of the players in each team should be non-white.
Selection argument
It is 31 years since South Africa were exiled from international cricket because of the apartheid policy then in place.
They were eventually re-admitted in 1991 after the two bodies running black and white cricket agreed to merge and implement a development programme to ensure that "cricket would represent all South Africans".
The quota system was introduced as part of that process, but came in for criticism from several senior cricket figures, particularly during the winter series against Australia.
Ontong was caught up in a selection row
Batsman Jacques Rudolph was picked to play in the third Test in Melbourne, only for Sonn to intervene and insist that the place should go to Justin Ontong.
Henry's role
South Africa eventually lost five of the six Tests played home and away and were beaten 6-1 in the one-day series on home soil.
Since then, there have been a number of significant changes including the appointment of Omar Henry, the first non-white player to appear in a Test for South Africa, as chairman of selectors.
Senior figures surprised but pleased
Delegates at the weekend conference signed a UCBSA flag and pledged to "activate and demonstrate out commitment to unified teamwork - one team, one plan, one voice".
They also launched Operation Teamwork aimed at ensuring that the process of transformation is ongoing.
Quotas, meanwhile, continue to provoke fierce debate within South African rugby.
Current rules state that every team must have at least two black players on the field during Super 12 matches and the country's rugby board president wants nine black players in their squad for next year's World Cup.

Posts tagged with: Find My iPhone
by Jaime Rivera | April 3, 2014 12:11 PM
One of the coolest features that Apple debuted years ago, and which other platforms have adopted over the years, is a way for you to find your iPhone if misplaced or stolen. The service was initially part of MobileMe, then became free for all users as "Find my iPhone", and is now part of iCloud, which is free for everyone as well. The service can pin-point where your device is, make it ring if you can't find it, and even sends messages to the phone in case it was stolen. Sadly the service has been proven to be far from perfect today. For you to disable "Find my iPhone" you have to enter ...

Altiris® Deployment Solution™ 6.8 Release Notes
Article:DOC1152 | | | Created: 2006-06-30 | | | Updated: 2008-06-30 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC1152 |
What has changed in Deployment Solution 6.8?
New Features
Installation & Upgrade Instructions
Fixed Issues
Known Issues
Document History
What's New in This Release
64-bit Computers
Deployment Solution 6.8 provides native production agents on x64 and Itanium platforms for several Windows and Linux operating systems. Itanium hardware support includes imaging and scripted operating sytem installations. Job conditions, filters, and inventory reporting have been updated to support these platforms.
64-bit WinPE and Linux automation environments are supported for preboot computer management, and several other enhancements have been made to support 64-bit computers.
Deployment Agent Enhancements
Enhancements include reduced-bandwidth inventory collection and new functionality to load balance the automatic update of your existing agents. Live events are now logged (events launched by right-clicking) and server-side scripts no longer require the client be connected to execute. Job status reporting has also been enhanced to let you monitor jobs more closely.
Enhanced Sysprep Support
Deployment Solution 6.8 has tighter sysprep integration. When deploying images prepared using sysprep, you can now add mass storage drivers, select operating system type, and provide the product key directly from the task interface.
Sysprep features are also supported on 64-bit operating systems.
Deployment Solution 6.8 Automation includes an updated Linux automation operating system with new enhancements and drivers. WinPE support has been enhanced with the ability to select the preferred boot model and include components to provide support for Windows scripting, HTML applications, and ADO objects for SQL server connectivity.
Boot Disk Creator provides additional security options to lock the keyboard in all automation environments and functionality to automatically detect when you are missing executables for multiple architectures.
PXE Server has received several enhancements to support auto-detection and booting of 64-bit and Itanium computers. The PXE Config Utility has a new status window providing real time status of the PXE servers in your environment.
When you install a new version of Deployment Solution, the new PXE Server software is detected, downloaded, and installed automatically eliminating the need to manually upgrade.
Additional enhancements include better detection of updated boot images and bandwidth-throttled downloads of boot images across PXE servers in your network. New modes of operation enable PXE servers to work across more diverse networks, and PXE Server can now service multiple NICs. See article 27249, "PXE Modes of Operation," and article 27250, "Enabling PXE Server Multi-NIC Support." The PXE Mode of Operation can easily be set by using the PXE Mode Utility; see article 28035 for more information.
When you upgrade automation operating systems, you now have the option of regenerating PXE boot images with the updated files to avoid manual re-creation.
Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Imaging
Native support is provided to image computers using Linux LVM.
Software Virtualization Solution (SVS)
Native support is included for managing SVS layers, and several SVS sample jobs are included. A trial version of SVS is included with Deployment Solution 6.8.
Installing Deployment Solution 6.8
Deployment Solution 6.8 can be obtained at http://www.altiris.com/Download.aspx. Deployment Solution 6.8 is a full product installation, and supports upgrading from version 6.1 or later.
To install, see:
27304: Deployment Solution 6.8 Installation Guide.

Waiting for "Inception" NEW - 7/09, 12:15 PM
In a jittery fragment of old film, a young man dances on a New York rooftop, whirling and jumping as he grins for the camera, bursting with confidence and possibility. He is Jerome Robbins, who would go on to have an unprecedented career in ballet and musical theater, but that day he was just a kid who loved to dance. "Art was like a tunnel to me," Robbins wrote of his youth. "At the end of the tunnel, I could see light."
"Jerome Robbins: Something to Dance About," the first full-length documentary about this great American choreographer, explores his life and work — and the contradictions in both. He was a difficult taskmaster, reviled by some colleagues (a famous story is told in which Robbins, haranguing a cast, stepped backward on stage and fell into the orchestra pit — and nobody made a move to help him) and adored by others. He was a man routinely described as a genius who throughout his life struggled with profound insecurity about his talent. He named names to the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1953 (because, the film tells us, he was fearful of being outed as a homosexual), and was haunted by the act for the rest of his life.
And yet this complex man, who died in 1998, could produce dances as light as a breeze. "Fancy Free," the sailor ballet, which first made his name in 1944, debuted in a ballet landscape filled with Russian formality and caused a sensation. "Something to Dance About" shows us footage of Robbins performing it with the original cast, then smoothly cuts to a more recent rendition; its all-American exuberance makes us think of that young man on the rooftop. We're shown snippets of his other great ballets, made during his many years at New York City Ballet with George Balanchine, with special focus on his lyrical masterpiece "Dances at a Gathering."
Footage of his Broadway triumphs is, unfortunately, less readily available (though a clip of Nancy Walker hilariously attempting pointe work in 1948's "Look Ma, I'm Dancin'!" is a gem), and the film often relies on the later movie versions of his work. But to browse his credits is to view Broadway history: "On the Town," "The King and I," "The Pajama Game," "Peter Pan," "Gypsy," and "West Side Story," which hit the Great White Way like a thunderclap. Like "Fancy Free," its young cast moved like ordinary people, with their slouchy walks and swinging arms suddenly blooming into dance.
Written by Amanda Vaill (who wrote a fine recent biography, "Somewhere: The Life of Jerome Robbins") and directed by Judy Kinberg, "Something to Dance About" intersperses its dance excerpts with a wealth of interviews with those who knew Robbins — writers, dancers, artistic colleagues, friends. Not all loved him; indeed, several still hold anger from encounters with Robbins decades ago. But most recognize that they crossed paths with a remarkable artist.
The film's great gift is its rare footage of Robbins himself dancing, in performance or in rehearsal (in one intriguing clip, we see him partnering Mikhail Baryshnikov to teach a pas de deux). Movement, it seemed, was the only place this troubled man found ease — and it became his gift to the world.

Mad Men: The Lunatic Fringe That Leads the West |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Tuesday, 29 April 2014 12:32 |
I had in mind to write about Tony Blair's remarkable regurgitation of bloodlust and bile last week. The former British PM managed to tear himself away from his consulting work for dictatorships and other lucrative sidelines long enough to make a "major speech" calling for -- guess what? -- even more military intervention in the endless, global "War on Terror." The fact that this war on terror -- which he did so much to exacerbate during his time in power, not least in his mass-murder partnership with George W. Bush in Iraq -- has actually spawned more terror, and left the primary 'enemy,' al Qaeda and its related groups, more powerful than ever, has obviously escaped the great global visionary. No doubt his mad, messianic glare -- coupled with the dazzling glow of self-love -- makes it hard for the poor wretch to see reality. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of the core group of al-Qa'ida, may well chortle in disbelief if he reads a translation of Tony Blair's latest speech on the Middle East delivered last week. If Blair's thoughts are used as a guide to action, then the main beneficiaries will be al-Qa'ida-type jihadist movements. Overall, his speech is so bizarre in its assertions that it should forever rule him out as a serious commentator on the Middle East. Reading it, I was reminded of a diplomat in Joseph Conrad's Secret Agent called Mr Vladimir who fancies himself an expert on revolutionaries: "He confounded causes with effects; the most distinguished propagandists with impulsive bomb throwers; assumed organisation where in the nature of things it could not exist." The speech, entitled "Why the Middle East matters", is about the threat from radical Islam, what it consists of and how it should be countered. Mr Blair says that "there is a titanic struggle going on within the region between those who want the region to embrace the modern world and those who, instead, want to create a politics of religious difference and exclusivity." On one side stand those who want "pluralistic societies and open economies", on the other those who want to impose an exclusive Islamic ideology. Here the reader might suppose that Blair is building up towards some sharp criticism of Saudi Arabia and its fundamentalist Wahhabi creed. What could be more opposed to pluralism in politics and religion than a theocratic absolute monarchy such as Saudi Arabia which is so notoriously intolerant of other versions of Islam, such as Shi'ism, as well as Christianity and Judaism, and is, moreover, the only place in the world where women are not allowed to drive? Here is the home country of 15 out of 19 of the 9/11 hijackers and of the then leader of al-Qa'ida, Osama bin Laden, whose religious views are rooted in mainstream Wahhabism. Blair denounces those who espouse an Islamist ideology in which the ultimate goal "is not a society which someone else can change after winning an election". Surely he should be thinking here about King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, his namesake in Jordan and the Gulf royals who inherited their thrones. But Blair goes on to make the astonishing claim that the guilty party in fostering extreme jihadist Islam is none other than the Muslim Brotherhood which stood for and won an election in Egypt before it was overthrown by the military. It is worth quoting Blair again to get the flavour of his thoughts about what happened in Egypt last year. "The Muslim Brotherhood was not simply a bad government," he says. "It was systematically taking over the traditions and institutions of the country. The revolt of 30 June was not an ordinary protest. It was the absolutely necessary rescue of a nation." This is demented stuff. If the Muslim Brotherhood had indeed been taking over Egyptian institutions such as the army, police and judiciary, they would not have been so easily overthrown by the army on 3 July. And what great Egyptian traditions were being eliminated by the Brotherhood other than that of rule by unelected military governments? ... In reality, events in Egypt can only encourage recruitment by jihadi al-Qa'ida-type movements which will argue that the fate of the Brotherhood, which tried to take power democratically, shows that elections are a charade and the only way forward is through violence. On Syria, Blair is a little more ambivalent about the future though he has no doubts what we should have done. He says that "in Syria, we call for the regime to change, we encourage the opposition to rise up, but when Iran activates Hezbollah on the side of Assad, we refrain even from air intervention to give the opposition a chance." Presumably, by "air intervention" he means a Libya-style change of regime to put the opposition in power. But in Syria the armed opposition is dominated by the very jihadists – Jabhat al-Nusra, the official al-Qa'ida affiliate and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, formerly al-Qa'ida in Iraq – against whom Blair is warning the world. They now control an area the size of Britain in north and east Syria and north and west Iraq and can operate anywhere between Basra and the Mediterranean coast of Syria. … As I read Blair's speech I could not quite believe he was going to conclude by proposing the absolute monarchies of the Gulf, some of the most authoritarian and corrupt countries on earth, as suitable models for the rest of the Islamic world. But that is exactly what he does do, advising the West to stick by our allies "whether in Jordan or the Gulf where they're promoting the values of religious tolerance and open, rule-based economies, or taking on the forces of reaction in the shape of Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood, we should be assisting them". It is a curious fate for the man who claims to have tried as prime minister to modernise Britain and the Labour Party that he should end up lauding these ultra-reactionary states. In the past few months Saudi Arabia has criminalised almost all forms of dissent, the Sunni monarchy of Bahrain is crushing democratic protests by the Shia majority and Qatar last year sentenced a man to 15 years in jail for writing a poem critical of the emir. As for combating jihadi Islam: nothing is more likely to encourage its spread than the policy supported by Blair of persecuting moderate Islamists, who did stand for election, while giving full backing to autocratic kings and generals. blog comments powered by Disqus |
