IRAQ has a president. Woah!
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...toryID=8099036
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's parliament elected Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani as the country's new president on Wednesday, breaking a political impasse and paving the way for a new government more than nine weeks after historic elections. He is the first Kurd to be Iraq's president, underlining the new clout of the minority that backed the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The two vice presidents were named as Adel Abdul Mahdi, a Shi'ite who was finance minister in the outgoing government, and Sunni Arab tribal leader Ghazi Yawar, the previous president. could things be getting good in Iraq? Is peace at hand in the middle east? Or will 10,000 religious extremests strom the Temple Mount and spoil the whole thing? http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=43321 |

2,520 years from October 13, 539 BC - Since this period of 2,520 years expired in 1982, we can expect to see the rise of modern Babylon in this present generation
1982 ..eh ? |

Each of the words the fingers inscribed on the wall is a measure of weight (like our ounce, pound, and ton, or milligram, gram, and kilogram). The basic Babylonian unit of weight was the gold shekel (tekel in this verse). The mena equalled 50 shekels; the upharsin (half a mena) equalled 25.
The four words, therefore, stood for: mena, 50 shekels; mena, tekel, 1 shekel; upharsin, 25 shekels. The total equalled 126 shekels. In addition, each shekel can be divided into even smaller units (as a pound can be divided into ounces, for example). The shekel was equal to 20 gerahs The 126 shekels is equivalent to 2,520 gerahs. so..i am not totaly sure but supposedly the words of the handwriting on the wall symbolize that God had "weighed" Belshazzar's kingdom and found it wanting. The empire would be given to the Medes and the Persians, who entered and captured the city of Babylon that same night. God was about to punish Belshazzar's realm for 2,520 years. maybe i got a bad translation.. |

Conservatism has a different meaning in every nation.

Don't thank W. Do as the patriotic citizens of Iraq are doing, and thank America.

If that were the that case, I don't think the foreign military presence that not only allows but encourages us to elect a new government could be called an occupying force anymore.
