Although the Council has been suspended since November 1994, they do still meet on occasion, whenever Michael Duclos (the President of the council) calls for it. But what exactly is their part in the war against global warming?

This war in Iraq isn't going anywhere. It was a bad idea to get in. But now we have to deal with the mess on hand. The Iraqi Kurds seem like good people who can govern themselves. But an independent Kurdistan in Iraq seems to drive the Turks and Iranians crazy and could destabilize the area further. Should the US support independence for the Iraqi Kurds, or hope they stay in a national confederation?

"It is rank prejudice to judge a person, or persons, on the way they look, or on the way you "feel" about their appearance, when those persons are suspects in a police case, as the McCanns are in the eyes of the Portuguese police.

It is not only prejudice: it is dangerous prejudice. It encourages a mob feeling -- which exists and always will exist -- that "there is no smoke without fire", and "a nod is as good as a wink", and all the rest of that ignorant farrago.

These were the grounds on which Alfred Dreyfus, in the notorious case which broke France in the 1890s, was wrongly convicted of treason."

There speaks a measured voice of reason.

If there was no oil in the middle east - would the so called 'Peace keepers' led by America be interested in that region?
What will happen when the oil runs out (i know that wont happen for another 100 years) will they still be interested?
What benefit would it be? And would they still help Iraq with its re building project - as i believe it will take more than a 100 years to get everything on track AGAIN

Bangkok Sinking Under Rising Seas
Major Cities Around the World at Risk of Being Swamped

KHUN SAMUT CHIN, Thailand (Oct. 20) - At Bangkok's watery gates, Buddhist monks cling to a shrinking spit of land around their temple as they wage war against the relentlessly rising sea. Jutting above the water line just ahead in the Gulf of Thailand are remnants of a village that has already slipped beneath the sea.

Experts say these waters, aided by sinking land, threaten to submerge Thailand's sprawling capital of more than 7 million people within this century. Bangkok is one of many of the world's largest cities at risk of being swamped as sea levels rise in coming decades, according to warnings at the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change held here.

Just because he said Israel should be wiped off the map...

He is not the one that have destroyed Afghanistan, Irak and emprisonned innocent people for years before they are released in Guantanamo Bay... And by the way, where are the weapons of mass destructions?

George bush has brought more chaos to the world than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. That guy can only play catch up!!

I'd like to see Iran with a nuclear bomb just to bring some sense to the negociations done in the future. A nuclear weapon is a great bargaining tool!

BTW: I like Americans, I think they are friendly and interesting people too. I just hate the cowboys who think they can rule the world with a stick and their supporters who make up the majority of this country, unfortunately... I can't believe they elected Bush twice!

As i would like to know, if the mccanns had left the children alone to go out on the tiles and get hammered in britain would they have been charged with neglect?
I find it hard to believe that they have people defending them to the hilt when clearly they are guilty of neglect. I dont know wether they have anything to do with her dissapearance or not il wait for evidence on that side of the issue. whether she has breasts or the fact she is slim has nothing to do with the feelings i have of disgust towards the pair of them for leaving those 3 children alone. i still believe in innocence till proven guilty and will decide when i see solid concrete facts, however a certain few pro's are really making themselves look silly by pushing the points as to why they are innocent yet they refuse to answer the child neglection issue either they dont answer or they get snotty & abusive but looking at the posts in here id say there is approx 90% of users saying they are guilty of neglect.

I find it really awkward when in press they call the Kurdish terrorist group PKK "Kurdish rebels" and Al-Qoaide a terrorist organization. So why is it called "terrorism" when US or UK gets attacked and "rebels" or "freedom fighters" when 15 Turkish soldiers get killed every week just for the sake of it?

Is it just me or does it seem that since ex-Met top copper Lord Stevens opened his unwelcome mouth, the McFanns are trying just a little bit too hard to try and persuade us of the McCanns innocence.

Stevens 'witch hunt' views does not change three key factors in what we do know (the facts) in the case of missing Madeleine McCann.

1) Kate, Gerry McCann and their 'Tapas 9' friends are all self confessed serial child neglectors. And Kate and Gerry had left Madeleine and the twins 'home alone' on the night of May 3rd.

2) There is absolutely no evidence that an abduction took place, except for Kate McCanns 'cuddle cat' and 'undisturbed bed cloths' stories, and 'Tapas 9' Jane Tanners 'egg head in a blanket story.

3) Kate and Gerry McCanns were made MAIN SUSPECT in the case by the Potuguese Police.

Nothing that Lord Stevens or the McFanns are saying changes that.

So are the McFanns trying just a little too hard to rewrite history and change the main facts of the case ?
