King Abdullah making changes in His Kingdom:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7890211.stm/
by firing a Judge who promoted the killing of  the owners of TV
channels promoting immoral programmes. I think that is wise for
him to do that, not allow the promotion of killing of innocents for
any reason.If the TV channels were immoral then they could have
been removed from the air waves, could they not, without killing the
station owners?
      A public thank you King Abudullah because it will be a powerful
deterrent to the killing of journlists and other innocent people.
I believe that any religion that is based upon THE ONE GOD will
endure over time, regardless of what humans do, because GOD
does not vanish over time. Nations built upon the worship of THAT
ONE GOD who may,as Kings do, have different personas at different
times but still be the ONE GOD, will endure and be blessed according
to Scripture. It is written, by a King whom GOD loved according to
scripture,'blessed is the nation whose GOD is THE LORD;" Psalms
33:12,King James Holy Bible. *

Also, here is a very positive article on the so-called Middle East. I put
that so-called there because I heard a  prominent man from the Middle East
say at a seminar in Washington DC years ago, that his questions to a speaker who

used the descriptor "Middle East" were:
middle of what and east of where?

Read the article by Charles Krauthammer

  I think the Iraqi people will get it together--are getting it together. I think the Arab bloc of
nations will too, and that they will realize the enormous power they
already have. And I think the US is in decline and the people are
realizing that, and that the paradigm shift the nation seeks has less
to do with dollars than with integrity, and the spirit, willingness to
take that Wall St golden calf by the horns and wrestle him to the
ground, and then look up to GOD.

* Footnote, I am putting the Bible on the web at :
http://books-of-Bible.net . Go to table of contents and click  the links to
the names to read the books word for word. Also the Table of
Contents at http://the-good-book.info is helpful to see the
list of books of Bible and the book of Genesis is there but I realized
trying to put the entire Bible on one website was not practical so
I decided to create many and link them to a base site, and the
base site is in two places, http://books-of-Bible.net and also
http://the-good-book.info. FYI, in case you are interested in the
Bible Christians read and believe. It is the testament of GOD and
how GOD created humans and relates to humans personally.

Also this:Update at 11:20 am MT:
Taleban calls for 10 day ceasefire, and praise GOD!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7891410.stm/
Ceasefire in the Swat Valley near Kashmir and Afghanistan border
according to BBC map. I am not expert on these nations but
I know that GOD loves them too, and so do I. I quote from the
article:
'Goodwill gesture'

The agreement was signed by Taleban cleric Sufi Mohammad
after talks with the North West Frontier Province's government."
[end quote] Thank you Sir, Cleric [what we in Baptist would call

a Minister] Mohammad for encouraging peace

and ending the bloodshed. I pray the ceasefire becomes a

permanent situation and all of you in those countries and

also your expatriates in other countries begin to have better lives

in every way. I have suffered much for my beliefs in GOD and yet,

I am stronger for it in my committment to obey GOD. I pray with

you for peace.
