The End Is Nigh
Or something like that.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "and his followers clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced. It may even have a date, indicated by several references by the Iranian president to giving his final answer to the US about nuclear development by Aug. 22," which this year corresponds "to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (c.f., Koran XVII.1).
Ummm....o-kay.
I'm sorry, I know it's not nice to make fun but.....WTH kind of name is 'Baraq'? I mean, that's the sound our Akita makes when she belches.
It'd be pretty cool if she could fly though. She'd terrorize every squirrel in the neighborhood.
