It is not capitalism which has failed, but television democracy and the big government mistakes it encourages.

It’s all very disappointing for Britain though. It looks like we’re not going to own any of the new energy companies, or electric car companies that will rule the stockmarkets at the end of the century.

Shame that the anti-capitalism movement is winning after all And in such a strange way.

The Jews reply, “The eretz (land) is Jewish, given by the Jewish God to us Jews in perpetuity. We even gave some of this land away, when persuaded by our American allies, and in return have been reluctantly needled into some form of forceful reply. Hence the asymetrical military operation which parallels that in Afghanistan or Iraq.”

Since this is a religious conflict, children and women (can be harmed-ed) by both sides and this shocks us Westerners. The bleeding children, howling mothers and weeping fathers are either martyrs (Muslim) or human shields cynically exploited by Hamas (Israel).

We forget the terrible destruction which we visited only a few years back on Tokyo (1/3rd destroyed in one raid by a deliberate fire storm under General Curtis le May), Dresden, Hamburg (first blast bombs to strip the tiles off the roofs, then incendiaries to create a fire storm) and Hiroshima/Nagasaki (flesh peeling from charred bodies, dressed with iodine by desperate medics who were short of supplies).

Peace= Salaam for Muslims and Shalom for Jews. Both words imply God’s sacred and all powerful will: not happiness for godless Benthamites.
And, no, not even Mr Blair, not even any American President can fix that.
We Westerners, you see, “Do not do God.”

Obama should now be suggesting new ways of coping with the crisis in the Middle East since he has already begun organizing his own citizens in the US by providing them with downloadable materials from his website with which they can begin to start holding meetings and begin effecting “change”…

And as pointed out, he has already chimed in on the economic matters.

His silence on the Middle East is deafening with the sound of continuity.
