Chel$ki are looking pretty good, although I still don’t know how Mourinho can man manage 8 midfielders and 20 other squad members – I guess thats why Jose calls himself the special one.

should remind us in the so called’democartic and free world’ that it is not by ignorance that we can resolve the problems of today.

Military action against moderate Islam in places like Lebanon will be pivotal in inciting even more hate against innocent americans and others in the west. ISRAEL for its part seems to have lost it.
