Britain is getting bashed again by France and Germany - Old Europe - for refusing to follow their lead on European matters. The European Union summit, marking the end of the six month presidency of Luxembourg, ended in failure to agree on a 870 billion euro budget for the period of 2007-2013.

A series of terrorist attacks has just occurred in the city of London, England. This is indeed a horrible tragedy. All of us should pray for the victims and their families. But it will do only a limited amount of good to sorrow over what has already happened. For this is only the beginning of the "series of terrorist attacks"—as Prime Minister Blair of Britain called them—which are predicted by the Creator to continue. And these attacks are destined to affect primarily the Americans, the British and the other British-descended peoples of the world.

Media bias is a common topic for discussion in the U.S. This problem is not confined to the U.S. however. Recently I visited a major journalism school in Bordeaux, France, and asked what the students were learning.

He said that since reporters could only see a slice of reality, their reporting was necessarily subjective, meaning it was affected by the reporter's background, point of view and philosophy.

On July 4, 2005, NASA's Deep Impact probe completed its scientific mission by colliding with comet Tempel 1 at a speed of more than 23,000 miles per hour. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California reported: "Deep Impact scientists theorize the 820-pound impactor vaporized deep below the comet's surface when the two collided." Scientists want to know more about the nature of comets.
