Mars encounter will be "hostile" for India, say astrologers (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20030827/wl_sthasia_afp/space_mars_india_030827113317)

NEW DELHI (AFP) - The proximity of the planet Mars, which will [be] its closest to Earth for almost 60,000 years on Wednesday, is likely to be "hostile" for India, astrologers warned. Lachhman Das Madan, chief of the Astrology Study and Research Institute in the capital New Delhi, said the Mars encounter was "a dark planetary configuration" and would unleash "negative energy."

"I have been telling anyone who cares to listen that according to my calculations the earth will face serious and violent convulsions from July 29 onwards," he said. "Earth and Mars are drawing together for their closest approach in some 60,000 years on August 27, 2003. Apart from that, the entire planetary configurations are hostile to the world.

"As we can see India is already being sorely tested. There have been scores of deaths and more violence is to come."

Duh.

If I'm living in Pakistan, I'm not feeling great about this, let me tell you.

Wait, wait! Let me try!

Hmmm... I predict there will be more violence in Iraq or Israel or Ireland ... hmmm... maybe it has something to do with countries that start with "I"!

On a(n only slightly) more serious note: Mars, or Ares, was known as the War God. http://burns.thefinaldimension.org/contrib/blackeye/AR15firing.gif

Oh my God! Violence and death in India! I've never heard of such a thing before. Obviously, something supernatural is going on here. I can't think of another reason for it

Nix on the violence in Ireland prediction.

The Peace Process is still in place at the moment, and holding very well. (Well, at least at the level of the paramilitaries - ironically, the political side of it is in some disarray).

I was looking at it last night. The sky could have been more stable but surface detail was very evident.

Trust me, we don't need the negligible gravitational force excercised by Mars to continue our senseless killing and murdering.
