Here's a surprise. The government of Turkey is condemning the decision by the ADL to label the massacre of Armenians by the Turks during (and just after) World War I as "genocide".

"I felt like I was floating outside my body". We've all heard or read about the claim, oftentimes made by people who encounter a near-death experience. Is it the soul starting to leave the body? Science says no, as they can now replicate the experience in the laboratory.

More reasons not to like the "surge", according to the New York Times. But, "Iraqi Stability Growing" is the headline in the Washington Times. A great American once said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand". True then about America, true today, about America and Iraq.

Of course, now that a senior GOP Senator is calling for a limited troop withdrawal from Iraq, it may not matter whether the surge is working or not.

Charles Krauthammer believes that, despite the rhetoric, there is an emerging consensus about Iraq that is developing in Washington.

Some Iraq War veterans take issue with the conclusions of those soldiers from the 82nd whose op-ed piece appeared in the NYT on Sunday.
