I often wondered why a little nation like Israel would develop such a huge arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. Over 400 Nuclear Warheads ... Three new German submarines capable of launching Nuclear Missiles to any city in the world. Plus Germ and Chemical weapons that could kill all humanity on earth in the blink of an eye.

While watching Nightline tonight ... I think I may have discovered the long term Israeli Plan.

In about 10 years, the Palestinian citizens of Israel will outnumber the Jewish population. In order for Jews to continue control of Israel ... democracy will have to be replaced with a dictatorship. To further insure Jewish control, ovens will have to be fired-up to lower the non-Jew population to a manageable number.

Who could protest this final solution? Who would challenge a dictatorship with all these weapons of mass destruction?

Indian Elections

As former Prime Minister V. P. Singh has pointed out in one of his media channel discussion, the most encouraging part of the BJP’s decisive victory in the 3 out of 4 state assembly election was its complete renunciation of Hindutva plank. In the last leg of its campaign, central leadership had forced VHP and Bajrang Dal to disappear in the sidelines. It could be BJP’s own confidence, or the fear of international reproach of its religious extremism, specially for electoral exploitation, or the clear sign of people’s disenchantment with the lackluster governance in Congress ruled state, the decision by Vajpayee to the Sangh Parivar storm troopers to shed their bhagwa and mingle with the masses to push common issues of development and governance had turned out to be a clear winner, not only for the BJP, but for future of India’s commitment to secularism and democracy.

The Congress rout has exposed the Grand Old Party’s inability to react to the determined public demand for grass root issues of roads, water, electricity and all public utilities that is the prime responsibility of any self-respecting governing entity.

GHULAM MUHAMMED, Mumbai, Indai

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney general John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns," but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

"As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.

"I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line."

President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex."

Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks."
