Other - Politics & Government - August 2006

Incidentally, does anyone know what happened to all the other "foiled terror plots" that have happened over the past 3 years and what became of the people involved, or did they all just fade off into the distance without another word being said, a route that no doubt the above is destined for...

Besides causing massive destruction by blowing up planes and buildings...etc, what is Al Queada's main, long term objective? Do they actually think they can overthrow the US Government or something...?

It appears Blair is more popular over here that he is at home in Britain. Bush we just don't want. So can we swap please?

I find it ironic that some Communist countries are OK to do business with (China), but some are totally out of the picture (Cuba). China has some of the worlds worst human rights laws, and their corporate business world is completely corrupt, but then you have the Cubans stuck in complete poverty. I know that we do business with China because they use a small fraction of their population for slave labour to undercut the rest of the world, but would it be so bad if we did business elsewhere?

Under Blair, Britain has lost it's independence to formulate Foreign Policy ref: G8 summit. The discussions going on in the UN is being conducted by France and the US. Under this leader, a World recognised power in Diplomacy is now nothing more than a bit player. I love the British way of life but they are being sold down the river by Blair.

Liberals change the world... we advance and evolve. In spite of what some people may think we are not without morals and we have a good understanding of right and wrong... why do conservatives feel the need to blame us for all that is wrong in society?

and see if they can answer it under 500 words, not call someone a racist, compare the issue to something that happened over 200 years ago, and not bore us to death in the process .

Rules of War in the Middle East

Rule 1: In the Middle East, the Arabs are always the aggressors, and Israel is always defending itself. It is called retaliation.

Rule 2: Arabs have no right killing Israeli civilians, it is called terrorism.

Rule 3: Israel has the right to kill Arab civilians, it is called self-defense.

Rule 4: When Israel kills too many civilians, the western powers call for restrain. It is called international community reaction.

Rule 5: Arabs have no right capturing Israeli soldiers even if they are very few, less than 3 soldiers.

Rule 6: Israelis have the right to kidnap as many Arabs as they want (currently 10,000 prisoners including 300 children). There are no limits and they don't have to prove the guilt of any one of them. It is enough to brand them as “terrorists.”

Rule 7: When you say “Hezbollah,” you always have to add “supported by Syria and Iran.”

Rule 8: When you say “Israel,” you should never add “supported by USA and UK,” because it will make it sound like an unbalanced conflict.

Rule 9: Never mention “the occupied territories,” or the UN resolutions, or the violations of human rights, or the Geneva Convention.

Rule 10: If you don't agree with the above rules or if you consider that they are in favor of one party in the Middle East conflict, then you are a dangerous anti-Semite.

Islamic Facists need to be exterminated before they infect the world with their hatred. Iran is running this war through Hezbolla and the root of this conflict needs to be pulled out and destroyed. Nothing beats a good Iranian Barbeque...eh?

They put up pictures of their leaders and put alot of blind trust in them.
They cover their women almost completely.
They put a huge emphasis on religion.


We mock, hate and distrust our political leaders.
We do not cover our women but every where you go you see images of women like they are the Ayatollah
Religion is mocked or encouraged to be kept secret.

I am not saying we are the same as the terrorists. But could we learn something from mid east culture.
