Hussain' sBrother goes against the grain.
Prince Hassan, king Abdullah'a uncle, said today at aljazeera.net that the Coalition forces have 'worn out their welcome." Does this guy not think the Terrorists have worn out their welcome yet?
When will Arab leaders stop ragging on the west and condemn and repudiate the terrorism of the Arab terrorists?

It's very, very sad. It's hard to believe that the families of the folks killed in Amman would be more positive towaard the Terrorist than they would be against the liberators of Iraq.
It's no "Brokeback Mountain", But "Narnia" is fantastic

I went with my family and some friends to see "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" last evening. The theater (one of those complex places) was packed and we showed up with pre-bought tickets 15 minutes before the start of the previews - and we had to stand in line to get in

I can only say that it was wonderful in every possible way. From the wonder of Lucy, played by Georgie Henley, as she enters Narnia and meets Tumnus, to the Resurrection of Aslan, everything faithfully followed Jack Lewis' books as we could only hope. My favorite scene was probably the one where Aslan, as well as Susan and Lucy, go to the Witch's place and restore the frozen folk with a breath from Aslan. Is there any question about the identity of Aslan?

Of course, Narnia's no Brokeback Mountain. The gay cowboy movie was picked by the LA Film Critics as the best movie. Narnia, unsurprisingly, didn't make the list.

Thank God.

Long Live Aslan!
