Bush names Iran a global threat
ABU DHABI, United
Arab Emirates - President
Bush said Sunday that
Iran is threatening the
security of the world, and
that the United States and
Arab allies must join
together to confront the
danger “before it’s too
late."
Bush said Iran funds
terrorist extremists, under
mines stability in Lebanon,
sends arms to the hardline
Taliban regime, intimi
dates its neighbors with
alarming rhetoric and
defies the United Nations
by refusing to be open
about its nuclear program.
"Iran is the world's lead
ing state sponsor of terror,”
Bush said in a speech
about democracy that he
delivered about midway
through his eight-day
Mideast trip, which began
with a renewed push for an
Israeli-Palestinian peace
pact an accord he said
whose "time has come.” ,
Chiding U.S. allies who
have withheld civil liber
ties, Bush said govern
ments will never build trust
by harassing or imprison
ing candidates and pro
testers. But his rebuke was
general, and he did not sin
gle out any U.S. partner in
the region for oppressive
practices.
"You cannot expect
people to believe in the
promise of a better future
when they are jailed for
peacefully petitioning their
government," Bush said.
"And you cannot stand up
a modem, confident nation
when you do not allow
people to voice their legiti
mate criticisms.”

could be headed into

“We're working with the

hobbled Hollywood's
awards season, the tragic
romance “Atonement" led
the pack for Sunday’s
Golden Globes with seven
nominations.
Films and performanc
es have taken a back seat
to the business side of
show business intracta
ble management and
unyielding writers, the lat
ter taking a hardball
stance that forced Globe
organizers to scrap their
telecast for a humdrum
news conference to
announce winners.
On strike since Nov. 5,
the Writers Guild of
America refused to let
union members work on
the star-studded banquet
style show, prompting
actors to boycott the cere
mony rather than cross
picket lines.
Sunday’s event was
recast as an hour-long
announcement that would
feature TV news personal

nominated movies and

Mobile County sheriff’s

MEMORIAL
Reverend
discusses
good, evil
► From Page 1
During the eulogy,
friends and family
praised Emerson, who
graduated from the
University in 2004, for
being a top student in
her French classes. She
spent time studying in
France and dropped her
business major in order
to devote her time to
French literature.
Emerson also trained in
mixed martial arts earn
ing blue and green belts.
At the memorial service
she was given an honor
ary black belt, they said.
Emerson had been
working at Winder
Progress Container &
Display.
Near the end of the
service, a slideshow
played on screens for all
mourners to see. Images
of Emerson’s childhood
and birthday parties,
family vacations, adoles
cence, college life and
the first rays of adult
hood flooded the screen
and made it even more
difficult for some to con
trol their emotions.
The Rev. Robert
Bohler diverted from
the media coverage, dis
cussing the senseless
ness and evil in the
world, and attempted to
shift focus from the
charges and investiga
tions to the woman who
managed to touch so
many and accomplish so
much in her life.
“Some things are sim
ply incomprehensible to
us here on earth,” he
said. “But remember
that happiness tends to
make up in height for
what it lacked in
length.”
Echoing Emerson’s
mother, who read the
family’s statement dur
ing the service, Bohler
asked those gathered
not to succumb to anger
or bitterness.
"Do not be overcome
by evil,” he warned,
instead "overcome evil
with good.”
