How to explain the fighting in Gaza to small children
Once upon a time, there was a family called Pal. They lived in a property that was hot and dusty, but they liked it, and had lived there for more than 2,000 years.

Media brainwashing
I am a Christian and was once very biased against Islam and Muslims. I perceived them as troublemakers and also the culprits of various global terrorist attacks.

Sobering history lesson
I refer to comments made by Saifur Rehman (Letters to the Editor, The Standard, January 9 ), and took the advice to look at the origins of the violence we are now seeing in Gaza. I found that throughout history, the people of Israel have been massacred and murdered. Only in the 20th century did they finally find a place they could call home; the land of Israel, which is still refuted by many of the surrounding Muslim countries.

Financial tsunami. Stock market crashes. Companies going bankrupt. Job losses. Global economic recession. Lift plunge terror. Man left to die just meters away from hospital. Dead baby thrown out with the trash. The list goes on and on.

Bush a top president
US President George W Bush was never given credit for the economic expansion that lasted until the end of 2007. But when the economic crisis came about, THAT suddenly becomes HIS fault.

I was at a private dining club called Locomotive. A Chinese banker named David, sitting opposite, told me about a man he had encountered named Chng. That's right, spelled C-H-N-G, with no vowel. "There can't be many names with no vowels," he said.
