question:
Comic strip artist Mort Walker  a World War II veteran who satirized the Army and tickled millions of newspaper readers with the antics of the lazy private "Beetle Bailey " died Saturday.  He  was 94.
 Walker  died at  his  home in Stamford  Connecticut  said Greg Walker  his eldest son and a collaborator. His father's advanced age was the cause of death  he said.
 Walker  began publishing cartoons at age 11 and was involved with more than a half-dozen comic strips in  his  career  including "Hi and Lois " ''Boner's Ark" and "Sam & Silo." But  he  found  his  greatest success drawing slacker Beetle   his  hot-tempered sergeant and the rest of the gang at fictional Camp Swampy for nearly 70 years.
The character that was to become  Beetle Bailey  made  his  debut as Spider in  Walker 's cartoons published by the Saturday Evening Post in the late 1940s.  Walker  changed Spider's name and launched  "Beetle Bailey"  as a college humor strip in 1950.
At first the strip failed to attract readers and King Features Syndicate considered dropping it after just six months   Walker  said in a 2000 interview with The Associated Press. The syndicate suggested  Beetle  join the Army after the start of the Korean War   Walker  said.
"I was kind of against it because after World War II  Bill Mauldin and Sad Sack were fading away " he said. But his misgivings were overcome and  Beetle  "enlisted" in 1951.
 Walker  attributed the success of the strip to Beetle's indolence and reluctance to follow authority.
"Most people are sort of against authority "  he  said. "Here's  Beetle  always challenging authority. I think people relate to it."
 "Beetle Bailey"  led to spin-off comic strip "Hi and Lois " which  he  created with Dik Browne  in 1954. The premise was that  Beetle  went home on furlough to visit  his  sister Lois and brother-in-law Hi.
Fellow cartoonists remembered  Walker  on Saturday as a pleasant man who adored his fans. Bill Morrison  president of the National Cartoonists Society  called  Walker  the definition of "cartoonist" in a post on the society's website.
" He  lived and breathed the art every day of  his  life.  He  will be sorely missed by  his  friends in the NCS and by a world of comic strip fans " Morrison said.
Fellow cartoonist Mark Evanier said on his website that  Walker  was "delightful to be around and always willing to draw  Beetle  or Sarge for any of his fans. He sure had a lot of them."
"Beetle Bailey " which appeared in as many as 1 800 newspapers  sometimes sparked controversy. The Tokyo editions of the military newspaper Stars & Stripes dropped it in 1954 for fear that it would encourage disrespect of its officers. But ensuing media coverage spurred more than 100 newspapers to add the strip.
Shortly after President Bill Clinton took office   Walker  drew a strip suggesting that the draft be retroactive in order to send Clinton to Vietnam.  Walker  said  he  received hundreds of angry letters from Clinton supporters.
For years   Walker  drew Camp Swampy's highest-ranking officer  Gen. Amos Halftrack  ogling his secretary  Miss Buxley. Feminist groups claimed the strip made light of sexual harassment  and  Walker  said the syndicate wanted  him  to write out the lecherous general.
That wasn't feasible because the general was such a fixture in the strip   Greg Walker  said Saturday.  His  father solved the problem in 1997 by sending Halftrack to sensitivity training.

question:
Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari  head of Iranâs Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps   added that Iran had the capability to expand its missile range beyond that limit  the Washington Free Beacon reported  citing information from U.S. officials and regional reports.
The comments by  Jafari  appeared to be an effort by Iranian authorities to contrast their missile program  which they often describe as being for defensive purposes  against those of countries like North Korea  which has talked about launching missiles that can hit any U.S. city.
Speaking on the sidelines of a conference in Tehran   Jafari  told journalists that the capability of Iran's ballistic missiles was "enough for now. "
Jafari  said  he  didnât believe that the U.S. and Iran would go to war anytime soon  though some may question  his  reasoning.
Referring to the United States   he  said: "They know that if they begin a war between Iran and the United States  they will definitely be the main losers and their victory will by no means be guaranteed. Therefore  they won't start a war."
answer:
Mohammad Ali Jafari


question:
Majed Shafie  grew up in a prominent Muslim family in Egypt. But even at a young age  he  struggled with Islamic beliefs and practices.
 He  was also troubled by the persecution of people in other religions  especially when  he  started making Christian friends in college.
 Majed  says  âI saw how peaceful they are. I saw how forgiving they are. I saw the principles and the values that they have. So I didnât understand why you want to persecute people that they are that peaceful. And I needed to know what truth that this Christians have that I was not even allowed to hear.â
To get answers   Majed  went to  his  Christian friend tamer  who in turn gave  him  a bible.
 Majed  committed  his  life to Jesus Christ.
âThis feeling of freedom  this feeling of liberation  there is nothing like when you know that youâre a child of God and youâre not a slave â says  Majed .
 Majed  escaped  and continued  his  work.
3 months later  Egyptian police forced their way into  his  home and arrested  him .
 Majed  remembers  âAn officer came and he said  I need to know everything about you  who you are  who working with you. I told him I don't know anything  I don't know what youâre talking about  I don't know what organization and He told me you want to play tough we can play tough together. I told him tough is my middle name  you donât need to worry about that. Next day they transfer me to Abu Zaabel Prison. For the locals  Abu Zaabel Prison is called hell on earth.â
Trying to get information  interrogators began systematically torturing  Majed .
After two days   Majed  feared  he  would betray  his  friends.
âLying down in a pool of my own blood this was my prayer. I told  Him   Lord  I want to thank you for your gift on the cross. I donât regret believing in you. You died for  me  and I will live and I will die for you. However Lord  You made me out of flesh and blood  you know how weak I am. And my only request to you is to kill me before tomorrow morning â says  Majed .
The next day   his  captors brought in dogs.  Majed  braced  himself  for the attack.
âThere was absolute quiet and calm. So I removed my hand away from my face just little by little and thatâs what I saw. By God all three dogs sitting around  me . None of them moved one single step. Then another three dogs came. Sat in the same position with one little difference. The middle one took a step forward and  he  licked my face. I got the same message that the officers got. That maybe Iâm alone but Iâm not lonely. Somebody else here with me.â
 His  interrogator returned the following day. This time  he  made  him  an offer.
 Majed  says  â He  said you tell me the name of your friends  I will release you. I will make you witness in the case  I will release you.  He  listed everything that any man will desire. I looked at  him   I told  him  oh thatâs  thatâs a very good deal. I-I will take it. Go get me food and water and after that weâll talk together.  He  said  whatever you like I will bring it to you. I told  him  shish kebab.  He  went   he  bring an Egyptian food  I sit down  I ate.  He  told me now you tell me the name of your friends. I told  him  listen. We are a big group. Thousands of us. I will not remember all of us // But I can give you the name of our leader. He told me  okay  give me the name of your leader. I told him the name of our leader is Jesus Christ. If you can catch Him  catch Him.â
answer:

Majed Shafie Christian
