Angels and Airwaves “The Adventure” Dir. The Malloys All hail Tom DeLonge! The former guitarist of Blink-182 has seen fit to grace the world with the band Angels and Airwaves, whose songs, according to him, have “the conceptual depth of Pink Floyd, [and] the anthemic architecture of U2…All the songs are very cinematic, anthemic and epic-sounding. The music sounds angelic. Every song gives you the chills and you feel like you want to cry but you’re conquering the world at the same time...
...official meetings that the end of history is only two or three years away. He reportedly told an associate that on the podium of the General Assembly last September, he felt a halo around him and for "those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink ... as if a hand was holding them there and it opened their eyes to receive" his message.

In response, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave a defiant speech last Saturday to tens of thousands of Iranians marking the 27th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. Repeating that Iran "will not forgo its irrefutable right" to develop nuclear energy, Ahmadinejad warned that Iran may even withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the IAEA-policed pact defining the rules of peaceful nuclear energy programs...
...greatest ambiguity materialized a few years ago, when an opposition group revealed Iran’s nuclear ambitions to the world after Teheran had spent years denying any such attempt. With a blink from the White House, Russia changed a crucial law in 2002, and offered Iran to take back the spent fuel, thus minimizing Teheran’s contact with fissile material. Despite intense negotiations, Teheran flirts with refusal, alleging that it would only perpetuate its dependency on foreign powers. Moreover, the IAEA has openly declared that some of Iran’s figures for fissile material stock simply...
