And the week got started. I've been watching 24 this season, pretty good show.

Windy, and relatively cool.

Tensions rise in the Denmark-Iran conclict, we live in a dangerous world. Denmark says it holds Iran responsible after its Tehran embassy was attacked by hundreds of people protesting about cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The attacks came as Iran said it was cutting all trade ties with Denmark.

The anti-Danish protests have been repeated across the Muslim world, and have led to at least five deaths in Afghanistan and one in Somalia. Many Muslims are angry at the publishing of cartoons of Muhammad in a Danish paper. As you may know, Islamic tradition explicitly prohibits images of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad.

The cartoons published in Denmark's Jyllands-Posten, and since reprinted in Norway and other European countries, included an image portraying Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.
