And the war is led by the mouse
In early 1991, when the Gulf War raged, the Dhahran International Hotel was the quintessential media ghetto. Except that there was no trace of alcohol, or other distractions. Tough it must have been on the hack-pack used to covering wars in ``friendlier'' cultures.
Beware of the enemies of civilisation
It is time politics in this country is leashed. A handful of ministers who can stage a walkout in Education Ministers Conference, or the unprincipled stand of the HRD Minister in panicking and dropping the so-called controversial aspects of the Country's Education Agenda to save his government, cannot be permitted to override the assiduously worked out direction of our education policy.
The final solution
Death penalty seems to be the flavour of the season, with the Cabinet having cleared a move to award capital punishment to those found guilty of transporting RDX and other highly explosive substances.
