I don't like death. It intrudes on my life.

True friendship is not a sometime thing.

Memories are a favorite book; to be carried with you wherever you go and referred to as needed.

Double-Crossing

From the New Yorker article by Lawrenece Wright discussing a revisionist book by Al Qaeda mastermind, the Muslim religious writer Sayyid Imam al-Sharif (or "Dr. Fadl"), who now is questioning Muslim jihad terrorism:

"The most original argument in the book and interview [Wright had with the author] is Fadl's assertion that the hijackers of 9/11 'betrayed the enemy' because they had been given US visas, which are a contract of protection. 'The followers of bin Laden entered the United States with his knowledge, and on is orders double-crossed its population, killing and destroying,' Fadl continues. 'The Prophet--God's prayer and peace be upon him--said, "On the Day of Judgment, every double-crosser will have a banner up his anus proportionate to his treachery."

Think that applies in Hollywood, Wall Street and Washington, DC as well?
