Miscellaneous links

The Rainforest Site Click on this site and save roughly 11 square feet (whatever that is in real money) of rainforest.
IraqWar: A site giving articles from around the world on the ongoing war in Iraq. Note that the wiki content here can be sometimes inflammatory and even racist in tone. I list this site here simply as a way to get insight into what other people's opinions can sometimes be on important issues. I certainly don't condone or agree with all comments made on the site.
Iraq Coalition Casualties: A site giving occupation forces casualty statistics from the war in Iraq
This Modern World : An interesting blog giving a US cartoonist's impression of the activities of the US government
Radio Telefís Éireann: the state broadcasting service in Ireland
Irish-English Dictionary: Interestingly located in Finland, for some reason!
Daltaí na Gaeilge: A very good page containing stories in Irish, and useful grammar pages.
