POPSEditorial from the President of Georgia "I have staked my country's fate on the West's rhetoric about democracy and liberty. As Georgians come under attack, we must ask: If the West is not with us, who is it with? If the line is not drawn now, when will it be drawn? We cannot allow Georgia to become the first victim of a new world order as imagined by Moscow. "

POPSTourism for American Soldiers in Iraq Unfortunately this article is behind a pay wall. I clipped what was available, but I recommend finding a way to read it. The piece focuses on a tour of the former presidential palace in Iraq. It is led by an Army sergeant who hands out full-color brochures and sketches of how the buildings looked prior to being bombed in 2003. Because of safety concerns, troops stationed in Iraq rarely travel outside of heavily protected bases. This tour is an opportunity to do so and 3,000 people have participated to date.

POPS Little Net Global Warming In The Past 70 Years
Derived from a large number of tree-ring density chronologies obtained from some 400 sites in the western United States, Canada, Europe, Fennoscandia and northern Siberia, this temperature record shows a dramatic departure from the instrumental temperature record over the last 70 years, with the instrumental record depicting dramatic 20th century warming, but with the tree-ring record showing nothing of the sort. It is very likely, therefore, that enhanced tree growth induced by the historical rise in the air's CO2 content - possibly augmented by enhanced nitrogen deposition (Idso, 1995) - has been increasing the growth rates of trees all around the world for over a century or more , Furthermore, this growth enhancement has been accelerating over time (Phillips and Gentry); and it is this ever-intensifying biological phenomenon that some are using to bolster their claim that the earth is warming at an ever-increasing rate, when such may not really be the case.

POPSAnother "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" I have visited here and seen the Liberty Bell and other historical sites and buildings. Somehow I missed seeing this place. I found it interesting that they had to search for the remains buried here among other graves of paupers and travelers. They finally found a mass grave site that was from the Revolutionary War ears and retrieved a body to put in the tomb.
