YAZOO CITY, Miss. - Tornadoes ripped through four states in the South, leaving broken crosses in front of a flattened church, splintering houses and overturning vehicles as they killed 10 people, including two children. One of the hardest hit areas was Mississippi's Yazoo County, where Gov. Haley Barbour grew up. He described "utter obliteration" among the picturesque hills rising abruptly from the flat Mississippi Delta.
The world is abuzz with the possibility of a United Nations vote to recognize a Palestinian state. Should this vote take place, it would be a disgrace and a diplomatic debacle for Israel, the Palestinians and the United States. Since its founding in 1948, Israel has lived under the constant threat of physical danger, surrounded by hostile regimes committed to its obliteration. In recent weeks, Israel's diplomatic ties with Turkey, at one time its closest ally in the Muslim world, unraveled completely. Meanwhile, across the border in Egypt, Israeli diplomats ran for their lives as a lawless mob stormed their embassy. These events, combined with the Palestinian Authority's pursuit of U.N. recognition, are creating a perfect storm of diplomatic danger.
RYDER CUP European theater of obliteration
WHEN FORT Monroe was targeted six years ago for closure, many state and local leaders were deeply skeptical of - even hostile to - the idea of transforming the Army post in Hampton into a national park. Its rich history, little known to most Americans, was in danger of obliteration by people whose vision was limited to the fort's magnificent waterfront views - and to the riches that row upon row of towering condos might bring.
OREM -- Friday was a watershed night for the Utah Valley State baseball program. Not only did the Wolverines thump visiting Utah 18- 1, but they also attracted a record crowd of 2,013. Lost like a diamond in the rough amid the lopsided final score was the serendipitous brilliance of UVSC junior pitcher Marcus Moore. Normally Utah Valley's closer, Moore pitched a complete-game three-hitter in his first action as a starter since 2003, when he was a freshman and the Wolverines were still playing a junior- college schedule.
One by one, the rationales for the invasion and occupation of Iraq are falling away. Administration postulations of a grave and gathering Iraqi weapons-of-mass-destruction (WMD) threat and of a Saddam-Osama alliance dedicated to visiting a nuclear 9/11 on the United States have evaporated in the absence of discovered WMD. The same holds for an alleged collaborative relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda and [Saddam Hussein]'s complicity in 9/11. Though Saddam had used chemical weapons against helpless Kurdish villages and Iranian infantry in the 1980s, he did not use them against U.S. or Israeli targets in the Gulf War of 1991. More to the point, even had Saddam Hussein managed to build a few atomic bombs, he would have been no more able to escape the reality of credible nuclear dete...

HUNTINGTON - Doc Holliday called it "the most complete game we've played since I've been here. Troy Evans wasn't going to debate that salient point, but the Marshall senior receiver had another take on Marshall's 59-14 obliteration of UAB on Saturday at a nearly half-empty (20,735 in attendance) Edwards Stadium.
