POPSBulldoze then claim Ancient Village never existed! In 2003 all the townships ranked among the eight poorest areas of Israel. But of the newly built communities around Beer Sheva, with their predominantly Jewish populations, two were in the top five wealthiest areas of the country. However, the seven townships to which it wants the Bedouin to move are already overcrowded and have poor living conditions - in stark contrast to the new communities being built nearby for Israelis relocating to the Negev.

POPSThe Bush Tragedy Jacob Weisberg uncovers the twisted, storied (and thoroughly American) histories behind the pedigreed, genteel Bush and the brash, opulent Walker clans, whose 1921 marriage-merger generated unparalleled political fame and fortune, producing an "exploding blob" of successful, well-heeled, multi-named white men—culminating, of course, in the 41st and 43rd presidents of the United States. A product of his Ivy League upbringing, academic and corporate shortcomings, and unseemly familial wranglings, Weisberg traces the root cause of W.'s presidential failings to his life-long jealousy of his father's successes and petulant opposition to everything the reserved, prudent, self-deprecating patriarch represented. It's a fascinating character study as well as a sad tale of hubris, backstabbing, and inescapable downfall, magnified by his position as leader of the free world.

POPSCONAN Series 1 One hero towers above all others in the Hyborian world. Black-haired, sullen-eyed, with gigantic melancholies, this is Conan. Barbarian, thief, pirate, raider, mercenary, hero --- but above all, a Cimmerian! The son of a village blacksmith in the grim gray hills of Cimmeria, Conan honed his strength and prowess by hunting the wild mountain beasts and competing with the other boys in his tribe. At age 15, already standing 6 feet and weighing 180 pounds though still not fully grown, Conan received his baptism of battle as part of a host of Cimmerian clans that attacked the garrison settlement of Venarium, an Aquilonian outpost encroaching on Cimmerian lands.

POPS The Return Of Thousands Of Baghdad Residents They fled to Syria six months ago, leaving behind what had become one of the capital's more dangerous districts — west Baghdad's largely Sunni Khadra region. They had been living inside a vicious and bloody turf battle between al-Qaeda in Iraq and Mahdi Army militiamen. Azawi said things began changing, becoming more peaceful, in August when radical anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered his Mahdi Army fighters to stand down nationwide

POPS U.S.Navy Awaits Negotiations On Pirated Tanker "The goal is to get the pirates off the ships so the ships can return to legitimate shipping traffic and transit," said Cmdr. Lydia Robertson, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. The Navy came to the aid of the chemical tanker this week, at one point opening fire to destroy pirate skiffs tied to it. It also helped a North Korean ship whose crew overpowered pirates in a clash that left several crew members wounded and one hijacker dead. The hijackers were being held aboard the ship until they can be handed over for prosecution at a port. After the clash, Navy personnel boarded the North Korean boat to treat the wounded. The U.S. military said it was monitoring the two boats off the southern coast of Somalia.

POPSWe Surge: Iraqis Dawdle As I understand it, the current primary mission for US troops in Iraq is holding the country together -- i.e. creating an environment that is safe enough for the Iraqis to form a viable government and to train enough troops and police to sustain that government. We're doing our part, but the Iraqi leadership seems to be making little, if any, progress toward establishing a sustainable government. A firm timetable for the withdrawal of American troops just might spur the Iraqi leadership into action, but announcing a withdrawal timetable is militarily insane. If the enemy knows when you're leaving, all they have to do is wait for you to go. How do we get out of this Catch-22 situation?

POPSClans: backbone to Scotland's culture "The succession of the clan chief in the Celtic tradition was decided by the system of "tanistry", an ancient law that brought members of the ruling elite together to choose the next heir. This system ensured that a strong leader was always chosen, but inevitably led to conflict and fracturing of some clans. When Malcolm III became King in 1058 he adopted the English Feudal system and also changed the language of court from Gaelic to English. To some extent this was the start of the intensification of the struggle between Lowland Scotland and Highland Scotland that was to reach its zenith in Culloden."
