Her word ...

People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse you ,
of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be Kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and
some true enemies;
Succeed anyway, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis.
it is between you and God;
It is never between you and them anyway.

-- Mother Theresa

Media War : Iran released video of the incident in Persian gulf ...

Press TV ( Iranian international broadcasting channel in English ) has aired a footage released by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) depicting the naval incident in the Persian Gulf.

Click to see the video

The US had earlier claimed that IRGC speedboats had 'harassed' three US Navy warships in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, but Iran says the incident was ordinary.

The United States released its own version of the footage which has been termed by Iran as fake.

The IRGC told Press TV on Wednesday that the footage was compiled by file pictures and the audio is 'fabricated'.

The video contains English conversation between Iranian and U.S. radio men.

a joke about naval radio conversation ;-)

This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy
aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities
off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio
conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on
10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to
avoid collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the
North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15
degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS
SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES
NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR
COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Media War : Iran says US video "fabricated"

Iran's Revolutionary Guards say the US navy fabricated evidence that a convoy of its ships was harassed by Iranian speedboats in Gulf waters on Sunday.
In an audio recording, an Iranian radio operator appears to say "I am coming at you; you will explode".
The Iranian parliamentary speaker has dismissed the affair as being part of a US propaganda campaign against Tehran.
"The footage released by the US Navy are file pictures and the audio has been fabricated," Iranian state-run TV quoted a Revolutionary Guards source as saying.

At the same time, Tabnak a news agency in Iran has wondered about some points in us tape which one of the is that the Iranian man on the radio has a very deep accent !!! Officials in Tehran totally deny threatening U.S. navy ships.

Down with war ... Spread world PEACE :-)

Media War : US releases Iran stand-off video

U.S. claim Iranians boats had threatened to blow the ships while Iranian military officials has denied it and Iranian foreign minstery spokesman has officially denied threatening from Iranian side and called facing ( of Iranian sea guards and American ships ) a simple procedure which happens often in Persian gulf.

Whatever the truth is now president Bush has a good reason to mention all the time while he is on his trip in Middle east to frighten other countries in ME from a powerful Iran.
