Waleed Ali complains about drones and pontificates; War is a kind of contract. Each side confronts the other, with the risk of death and defeat. In short, war should come at a cost. That contract is shredded when you’re attacked by something that cannot itself be killed. It’s not remotely a fair fight. War is
Boston bombers are Muslims – I’m amazed!
Gee, the Boston bombers appear to be Muslims. This will not please the left and other US haters as they wanted the bombers to be white extreme right wing radicals. Bob Elliss, for example is punting for the NRA, the Pentagon, MI6, or the FBI and states quite conclusively that there are no Arabs, Pakistanis
Alexander Downer on Iraq
The Left have been celebrating the 10th anniversary with a litany of what went wrong. Me, I’m more positive and haven’t really changed my opinion since I posted on the subject nearly ten years ago A democracy in the middle of the shit-hole that is the Middle East would give birth to hope and all

Arafat to be exhumed

The ABC reports the Palestinians already know who killed him….The Israeli Mossa and the American CIA..of course. Bookstore owner Iyad Muna, 42, told ABC News, “Arafat was killed and we knew that. And
US withdraws from Iraq
Six years ago, talking about Iraq, I wrote; a democracy in the middle of the shit-hole that is the Middle East would give birth to hope and all the Mullahs and Kings and Princes would be feeling uneasy Since the Arab Spring bloomed I’ve been waiting for someone to put it all together and give

General Jim Moylan
The General talks about the poor political leadership regards the Afghanistan war He argues we can still win but ends with this comment: If and when we fail in Afghanistan, there will be plenty of blame to go around.

War is not 9 to 5

A report by two private organisations, the Open Society Foundations and The Liaison Office, to be
