The 3100th Post: News!
Today's a pretty slow news day. That makes my life easier.
The Japanese government has announced that their troops will withdraw from Iraq ahead of schedule; Japan's contingent in Iraq are non-combat troops to begin with, and control of their area of operation is due to be turned over to Iraqi security forces in the near future. Also, the BBC has a great article about an Indian military pilot who was in Iraq when the Osirak reactor was destroyed by Israel; it's worth checking out.
In East Timor, rebels have agreed to surrender their arms; in Nepal, the rebels have agreed to join the government. Sounds like Guinness time to me!
The European Union has agreed on a plan to provide aid to the "Palestinian" territories by bypassing the Hamas government altogether, thereby bypassing EU laws which prevent EU from financing terrorist groups. In light of the looming humanitarian disaster that the lack of aid money will cause, Hamas has stayed true to form and criticized the plan.
And finally, Iran and Syria have signed a military cooperation treaty, binding both nations to assist each other in the event of attack by Israel and the United States. I'm going to refrain from comment on this one.
Thanks, folks! Have a nice weekend!
