2. Iran To The Fore - This is more and more serious every day. If the world did not know this before - which required either stupidity or willful blindness - it should be well be-known now to anyone with a scintilla of synapse activity on their brain that Iran cannot be trusted and that their goal is to develop a nuclear weapon for any number of nefarious purposes - a nuclear shield for terrorists, the attempt to blackmail and coerce whomever it wishes, and - ultimately - as a weapon against Israel.

Not that any country can afford to absorb a nuclear strike, but Israel is particularly vulnerable. It would not surprise me in the least if the cynical Iranian leadership, who are perfectly willing to brutally repress their own people, as was made very clear in the recent election fiasco, would accept a nuclear hit against their comparatively speaking huge country and widespread population in exchange for a devastating one-shot attack against Israel's tiny geographic size and concentrated population. After all, "Ahmanutjob" wants nothing more than to hasten the return of the so-called Twelfth Imam.
Here are some continuing stories on this most urgent issue, which I will continue to follow closely:

- Pajamas Media » To Bomb, or Not To Bomb, Iran

3. I Hear That Herr & Frau Goebbels Were Wonderful Parents Too - I mean, they even killed all 6 of them so that they would not have to live with their beloved Fuhrer. In that light, I give you this story - Lawyer: Racists can also be good parents - Nova Scotia News - TheChronicleHerald.ca. I know full well that as a lawyer, you unwittingly sometimes take a position that somehow ends up being completely preposterous. However, it one thing when you are talking about an untenable position in a commercial matter, but it is entirely different in this kind of case. I think that a lawyer sometimes has to take stock of their role as an officer of the Court and stop pushing this kind of foolishness - this is one of the reasons why, in my humble opinion, people can have a poor opinion of lawyers.
7. Yom Kippur - The solemn Kol Nidrei service, which marks the start of the holy day of Yom Kippur, starts Sunday evening. Here are some stories with a religious angle to consider:
- Rabbi Elyashiv: No Crocs on Yom Kippur - Israel Jewish Scene, Ynetnews
- A Final Yom Kippur in the Delta for Mississippi Community Begun in 1830s – Forward.com
8. Remembering Yom Kippur in 1973 - Those lovers of peace, Egypt and Syria, supported by other Arab nations, attacked Israel on the holiest day of the Jewish Year. Israel persevered after a terrible struggle and great loss of men and materiel. The IDF has pledged never to be caught off-guard as it was in 1973 - which leads to this story - Opinion: The IDF's new Yom Kippur challenges | Columnists | Jerusalem Post.
I have had the honor of visiting Har (Mount) Bental, overlooking the so-called "Valley of Tears" in the Golan Heights on a few occasions. Each time, I am awestruck by the superb skill and tremendous sacrifice made by the severely outnumbered and outgunned Israeli tank crews. May that skill and sacrifice never be forgotten.

13. Lest We Forget - As this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland and the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Communist China, retrospectives are all the rage (such as the series to which the disgusting David Irving was asked to contribute). Here is one article we should all read and remember - Pajamas Media » Let Us Never Be Ashamed of Triumph in War.
15. Taking Bets, Red? A quote from The Shawshank Redemption - a fantastic movie. Anyone want to take best on the outcome of this "debate"? - UN Human Rights Council to debate Goldstone Report | International | Jerusalem Post.
