The Da Vinci Code

"A murder inside the Louvre and clues in Da Vinci paintings lead to the discovery of a religious mystery protected by a secret society for two thousand years -- which could shake the foundations of Christianity."

Well well well, seems interesting. The cinemas started yesterday. I think I'm going to see it tonight. I actually wanted to read the book first but I haven't had the energy to read any novels lately. I've heard so much about the book and it's been discussed politically so it must really be something special. Here's a picture by the way. It's originally from IMDB.com but since it's not possible to save pics from their site I have to host this link.

Today I read this:
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1982635
It says that the EU wants the US to allow Iran to buy new airplanes in order to compensate the Iranians for freezing its nuclear fuel enrichment programme.
It sounds really nice but why are there sanctions and embargos against Iran in the first place?
I don't wish to get into that discussion right now, but this is quite interesting in my opinion. Not that I think that the hardheaded regime in Iran will accept any kind of deal in these proportions, but the effort is nevertheless impressive. I don't know how many times the Iranian regime has received economically beneficient propostions from the western countries regarding its nuclear enrichment programme. All I know is that they never accepted any of these offers in exchange for a permanent cancellation of what after all is the souverign nation's absolute and complete right.

Today I updated the template on this blog. I added some banners and some new links. I think I'll start a new blog soon, a blog about the Iranian national team in the World Cup in Germany. It would be nice. I would also like to tell everyone to visit www.persianfootball.com. I'm a member of the staff and we provide footballfans from all over the world with the very best internet hangout for Iranian footballfans. We also have quite many non-Iranian members, so everyone's welcome!

I think that's all for now. Over and out.
