Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

You seems to be descending to new lower levels of posts. I suspect that if you continue in that direction you may get removed from the BB.

parrot,
Stop getting your knickers in a twist
Removed, huh? I'm quaking with fear.
I am merely responding to freddie's 4509 and 4511.
What else is one to think of an individual who speaks of child abuse and masturbation on a FINANCIAL BB?
But then I guess you think 4509 and 4511 are the sort of posts which are quite normal.....
You really see absolutely EVERYTHING in an upside down sort of way, don't you, parrot?
A definite pathology there.
Get help.

Whats the useless piece of skin on the end of a penis called?

Circumcision rules, OK?

Egypt's Supreme State Security Prosecution is finalizing investigations with former minister of petroleum Sameh Fahmi after complaints filed against him for wasting public funds in oil export deals with Israel and six other countries in Europe.

Investigations revealed the top secret gas deal with Israel was costing Egypt USD 13.5m a day, with a daily commission of USD 3m distributed between corrupt members of the ministry.

Hisham Badawi, leading the investigations, has summoned Sameh Fahmi on Thursday and requested that the session be put back to Saturday to submit documents that confirm his position.

According to memoranda received by the prosecutor, the income received by Egypt from gas exports to Israel was no more than USD 146m annually, while it imported cooking gas at about USD 3 billion yearly.

The administrative court ruled on 18 November 2009 to suspend the gas trade decision with Israel, but former petroleum minister Sameh Fahmi did not comply with the decision.

I hope those involved in any exposure. follow the money and expose all who enabled any corruption which occurred.

I see Cameron has had another brilliant success with SAS in Libya.

Perhaps, the Libyan anti-government didn't want his support.

dummkopf! ..... typical simplistic comment from fred

THE MOST IMPORTANT INTERVIEW ON EARTH

An expected response from the cynic.

Could do better.

you choose to see things in black ands white, whereas they are of course much more subtle with various other plays going on beneath the service - but then i wouldn't expect you to be able to even envisage let alone appreciate such things

Thanks cynic. I knew I was missing something.

Perhaps, I was thinking similar of the present ruling inept ruling clique, whose simplistic approaches to government are being woken up to the problems they are provoking,

Bulls in the china shop comes to mind.

it certainly wasn't the best how-to-do-this textbook example! .... unless it's meant as here's a cock-up i did a little earlier!!

At the moment, what interests me, is the humbug, hypocrisy and outrage of Cameron and crew,about the "humanitarian" atrocities of the Gad Fly in Libya.

At the same time the poser can applaud himself for promoting a trade "delegation", containing those prepared to sell Weapons to the Egyptian military.

I can't recall his, or his accomplices responses to the Gaza massacres, a short while ago, or the mass killings in Iraq by Britain and Iraq sometime ago, or the continuing murder going on in that country.

I hope sleeping at night is a problem to him.

Ummh, it stinks.


(Just a personal opinion.)

where did you last find altruistic government? ..... liberia perhaps? ..... much as you might wish it, the real world does not come pristine and plastic wrapped like a piece of supermarket lamb

but it makes him feel superior - the haunt of all small minded pig headed know-nothings

Egypt has a new foreign minister; Dr. Nabil al-Arabi. He is a former Egyptian ambassador to the UN and a former judge at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He wrote an article in the Egyptian Al-Shurooq newspaper on February 19 criticizing foreign policies under the former minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, strongly attacking his involvement in the Gaza siege.

Egypt's foreign policy should not be characterized by serious violations of fundamental principles in international law, such as the position Egypt has adopted in the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip, Arabi said."

He has said that he believes the Camp David Accords (the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel) have been damaging to the Palestinian cause. He has also been quoted as saying, "Israel is occupying Palestinian territory, and the occupation itself is against international law".

Cynic,

I think being consistently altruistic for one person is impossible, for a government to be so, when it represents a country, even more difficult.

I think Robin Cooke, at least had a respect for the concept and tried to implement a more "moral" international stance, but obviously he also failed many times when attempting to do so.

Considering the actions of governments a their representatives in the past, we are probably a little "cleaner" and less corrupt now than in previous periods.


Due to media a improved communication we the public are more aware when and where it occurs.

Not many who know me "well", would think I have tip toed through the tulips" or that I have led a "pure" life, but I still think that when there is knowing and deliberate public corruption, or abuse by a person holding a public position, that the instigators and protagonists of the actions should publicised and prosecuted.

They should not be able to use pragmatism as an excuse.

But, I would not like the responsibilities of government.
