I usually don't go in for these

but with time on my hands at work today (read: Cindy is gone, so I have no one to talk to, even at lunch, and I would much rather do just about anything than brave the cold or make new workfriends), I read the BBC online. I found this -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4225889.stm. I'm passing it along, in part because I enjoyed reading it while everyone else at work was working. But more, because I just simply enjoyed reading it.
