"What is the significance of Aug. 22? This year, Aug. 22 corresponds, in the Islamic calendar, to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to "the farthest mosque," usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back (cf Koran XVII.1). This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary of the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadinejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind. "

Iran is supposed to announce their nuclear plans today right? This also reminds me of Y2k, the best "date" related scare to date (no pun intended).

The headline has changed from "RESPONSE" to "REPORT: Iran Won't Give up Enrichment."

Bottom line is, it's dialogue. That's always better than a destructive soliloquy for the foreign press...

August 22 is also the anniversary of the 1831 Nat Turner Rebellion.

So we should also be on the look out for mad black people.
