Maybe I should stop reading the news!

It just gets to me.
I mostly get my news from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/default.stm

Here are a few things that attracted my attention lately, in no particular order:

-the Wahhabi regime of Saudi Arabia is mulling whether to bar women from praying at the Grand Mosque in Mecca http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060907/ap_on_re_mi_ea/saudi_banning_women_2

- Al-Qaeda has urged non-Muslims - especially in the US - to convert to Islam and remind them that: "Any infidel blood will have no sanctity," ...Actually I am not sure they say "will have" as opposed to "has"!?!

- "Beheaded Sudan editor is buried....Our correspondent says journalists in Sudan are scared, fearing they could be next if they do something to annoy the Islamic fundamentalists."

of occures reading about Darfour has got to be THE most depressing...which says something!

- A "virtually untreatable" form of TB has emerged, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Then of course today in the news there is the Mexican land slide, the Russian gold mine fire etc etc etc
So, how do you stay reasonably informed without getting depressed?

Of course to relax you could always read the blog of Mahmoud Ahmdinejah, the president of Iran, where today the poll is "Do you think that the US and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another word war?"
