Well, I haven't seen it on CNN, so my question is, "WTF?"

Since when does a small group of radicals decide what does or doesn't make the news?

It was Nov 15th that it happened, thus it won't be in the current news

Hash, not to disagree, but really nothing to do with that tower is coming out of that region except the money to build it.

Architect was Adrian Smith (U.S.A.)Engineering firm was Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (U.S.A.)Primary construction firms are Samsung (Korean) and Besix (Belgian) Construction Management is with Turner (U.S.A.)

It's not a cross-burning, it's a cross-lighting. They are, like, totally different. Really, they are...

Good point! Although I have not flown JAL, I like Singapore Airlines for similar reasons ...

On Emirates and Etihad, all the stewardesses are European ... and these airlines apparently don't have any qualms about hiring based on looks!

Never flown JAL, Singapore, Emirates, or Etihad, but LAN also has the total hawtness when it comes to stewardesses. By far the hottest of any flight I've ever been on. I think that's probably the case for just about any carrier that is based outside of the U.S., where they are usually 75 years old and fat.

Although the last couple flights I was on had some decent girls, and they were young, United and Frontier.
