Gore: Civilization coming to an end
Former Vice President Al Gore continues to say that he will not run for
president. He also is carrying the dark message that civilization is coming
to an end.
BBC News reports on Gore’s speech to the Hay:
But Mr. Gore, fresh from an appearance at the Cannes film festival,
delivered a starker message that the world was now facing a "danger which
could bring the end of civilization."
A documentary, which premiered at Cannes, An Inconvenient Truth, is based on
lectures Mr. Gore has been delivering about environmental crisis for many
years.
He was asked by a member of the Hay Festival audience to run for president
again.
But Mr. Gore replied: "I honestly believe that the role I can most usefully
play is to try to change the minds of the American people...about what this
crisis is about."
Iran broadens terrorism
CNS News reports that Iran is providing Hizballah with improved weapons
to destroy Israel:
Iran is supplying the Hizballah terrorist organization with rockets that can
penetrate deep into Israeli territory, a military source said on Monday.
Tensions flared along Israel's northern border over the weekend after
terrorists fired several Katyusha rockets at northern Israeli targets,
hitting an Israeli army base and lightly injuring one soldier.
Islamic Jihad in Lebanon said the initial attack was retaliation for the
death of one of its senior leaders in Lebanon, which it blamed on Israel.
Lebanon is home to more than 350,000 Palestinian refugees and their
descendants.
But Israel says no fire can be directed at Israel from the area without the
consent of Hizballah.
