• GNU-Darwin: an attack on Iran

  Any attack on the military of Iran would be a clear act of war against
  Iran, whatever the purpose. This is an obvious military fact. In order
  to attack Iran from the air it will be necessary to attack the radar of
  the country, which is a military installation, so that any air attack on
  Iran must be reciprocated in order to prevent a further attack. It
  follows on directly.

  Only the US possesses the necessary intelligence to knock out Iran's
  radar installations and enable an air attack. It is also arguable that
  the US is the only actor that has the means to carry out such an
  attack. In this scheme, Iran is clearly justified in responding in
  kind to any attack on a military target in order to thwart it and
  prevent a future attack.

  If you think that this argument is wrong in some way, then you must
  also consider the US response to 9/11 as wrong. Many do.

  Finally, I want to thank our many users who have taken the opportunity
  in recent weeks to support GNU-Darwin with orders and subscriptions.
  It is truly inspiring.

• GNU-Darwin: blackout warning

  Happy Memorial Day. I was deeply troubled by the following story, and I
  hope that everyone receiving this message will read it.

  To Admiral William Fallon (USN ret.), With Respect
  Open Appeal for Straight Talk on Iran
  http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/05/20/9068/

  I would like to remind people that there will be an American reaction
  to a US attack on Iran, and that reaction will not be positive. For
  example, there will be immediate standing moratoriums, and GNU-Darwin
  will black out appropiately, so that people can be about the business of
  stopping wrong action against Iran. Other actions will follow.

  On this day, of all days, we must hold in remembrance the wrongful
  attacks, invasion, and occupation of Iraq, and the calamity and death
  that they have caused. Never again.

  Regards,
  proclus

• A product for Thailand's new pharmacutical industry

  Thai black rice has the highest anthocyanin content of any cereal grain
  that I have been able to find. Anthocyanin shares many properties with
  resveratrol and Sirtris' product, SRT501, and it is likely to be a drop
  in replacement for them. This rice, which is abundantly produced in
  Thailand, is so rich in anthocyanin content, that it will be cheap and
  easy to extract it for pharmaceutical uses by the local industry there.
  It is also likely to have a very wide range of beneficial medicinal
  uses, in contrast to narrowly targeted SIRT501. Here below is the
  reference that I used. It includes an extraction protocol (which needs
  some optimization). Cheers!

  It is also very tasty indeed!
