Go to the author's website (his full name as one word dot com - and boy what a name!), scroll down to near the bottom of page and click on the link immediately beneath the link to "My 72 Questions to....". My guess is McCain might learn something from the comments here in preparing his campaign trail for the Californian primaries.

But whether it is for pain (as in Hell) or pleasure (as in Paradise) both Osama & McCain should be wary to now ponder on the virtues of 72 especially the #36 as in http://members.aol.com/thebodie/all72.htm It is understandable for McCain, a Vietnam war veteran shot down from his A-4 Skyhawk by a Soviet-made SA-2, to be fixated with the Soviet-made-AK47-weilding bearded guy and hence of his (McCain’s) determined pursuit.

I'm confused. I'd have thought that Osama would be at the Gates of Paradise! Someone must have given him the wrong direction.

Anybody knows?" I'm not a Muslim so I don't know the reason for this number though I remember reading about it. I can't recall where and since you asked, I did a bit of a search and found the following article an interesting read. I can't do a cut & paste since article contains terms unacceptable in this blog. http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,2763,631357,00.html#article_continue P/S No wonder such 'rewards' tempted many a closed minded youngster in various parts of the world today!

I don't know everything, but I have to say that to my personal opinion, Malaysia is far far far far from having a mature political system like what they have over here. It's like comparing a broomstick to a Ferarri. You're free to say which one is which. Seeing pathethic, insecure, child-like, overly-stupid UMNO and it's long list of puppets - the EC, the police force, the maistream media, and the judiciary system - it's truly heartbreaking. What's more frustrating to me is that a lot of people in Malaysia doesn't have Internet access especially in the kampungs, and even for those who DO have internet access, a lot of them do not even care to know about the goings-on. The Malays in the rural areas especially. It's not that they don't want to know, but when all they can read from is the govt-controlled newspapers, it is frustrating. It hurts more when I realize that I can't do anything much about this. The US government is 100 times more transparent that the Malaysian government. Backed up with their checks and balance system, corruption could be kept at a very low level. There is also freedom of speech for media. And on top of that, their election process, although not perfect, is far far far cleaner than ours. Now, with the obviously manipulated EC, and no caretaker government some more? Although I will surely vote for the Opposition, I'm sorry YB Lim, but I just won't be too optimistic about the final results. -- i-am-malaysian a.k.a heartbroken I’m a student studying in the US, and I’ve learned a little bit about this country.
