A China, to paraphrase that old goat Ishihara, "Who can say No!" I love it.

What an absurd comment! They found out who killed former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, didn't they? And they proved it wasn't Syria. Maybe the same people brought down this plane? They've been known to kill everyone on a plane as collateral damage, just to get one target. "By Deception You Shall Make War" and all that....

Superficial at best, farcical at worst. Better to simply say that as a secular state, religion has no place in public life or government.

.....and you know where they're coming from, don't you? Tel Aviv, because they know that you're dumb enough to believe them! Dumb as the proverbial bag of hammers!

There are days when I think that testing WMD on a certain group of lunatics North of the 38th might not be a bad idea. Today is one of them.

Tragic as this is, the regular cops have revolvers, not pistols. Different animals altogether. The national penchant for keeping things bottled up claims another tragic victim. Talk to each other, please! Saying, "I need help!" is not a sign of weakness.

This headline is misleading. The group actually claimed responsibility for this. Check a different source: http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=116030§ionid=3510203
But I know a disreputable group of thugs in Tel Aviv who have a habit of doing this kind of thing, and then foisting the blame elsewhere.

I was pulled over by the cops while driving. They checked all my documents, which were in order. I asked why I was stopped. "Because you're a foreigner driving an expensive (Mercedes) car." They were polite, as was I. I left. The country, that is. I've been insulted by better people than the racist Japanese police. I don't need that kind of crap.

The blatant hypocrisy in this report is almost laughable, if it weren't so tragic. It should read:
That's more like it. Look in the human rights mirror, Amerika.

Usually British Rail laments about receiving "the wrong kind of snow," regardless of the amount, and then blames it on their inability to runs trains at all. Much less on time! Same story, different year.

WilliB appears that he s/he is immune from being reasoned with right now. He's right. Everyone else is wrong, and there isn't any telling it otherwise. All problems begin and end with Islam.
Actually adaydream, the folks at Gitmo aren't getting the same treatment as US nationals. That's well documented in US law journals. And many Senators like it that way. Appearing to be tough is good for votes.
But, as a help to our friend, here's a primer on Islam, without nuances so he can get it: http://www.aljazeerah.info/Islamic%20Editorials/2007/May/Islam%20A%20Brief%20Introduction%20By%20Hassan%20A.%20El-Najjar.htm Nothing in there about flying planes into buildings, anti-Americanism or anything like that.
Third time: Failed foreign and military policies are to blame for creating militant jihadis. Change the policies, and you'll change the results you get. It's really that simple. Being tough sometimes means that you have to say you were wrong! Sometimes, R E A L L Y wrong!

WilliB:
No, it's not. That's a cultural nuance. In some states, secular authorities rule. But then, nuance, where do I start? Just.....look it up.
I'm not defining anything. The very name Islam and Muslim comes from the Arabic (Semitic) root "sala'am" سلام which means peace. Regrettably, and uninformed US public is kneejerking its way to a tragic comedy of errors by presuming that Islam is the enemy. It's not. A failed foreign and military policy is the cause. The result is simply consequence. Lies, like "Islam is the enemy", simply speak of widespread ignorance among a 40%-plus illiterate in any language US public. (Dept. of Ed. numbers!) Have a read: http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2010/01/01/who-are-the-real-terrorists-2/ Remember first, look up the word "nuance" and see if you can find any.

Same story this time every year. Might be a good idea to shift the holidays to snow season, so nobody has to go anywhere until it all melts.

Not surprisingly you are confusing theology and politics. While properly understood, Islam is a religion of peace. However, human nature being what it is, how peaceful do you think you'd feel if your country was invaded, your economy shattered, your infrastructure destroyed, your relative drone-bombed during a wedding or while they slept, your kids executed by US Marines after they'd been raped, etc. etc. etc.? Radical jihadis have been created by US/Israeli foreign policy and military misadventures. Just how peaceful do you think you'd be if they were treating Americans in their own country in that manner? This is not to justify violence, but it certainly might give you some insight as to why it happens the way it does.
But, of course, that's common sense. That's not something Washington and Tel-Aviv have a good relationship with, is it? You want to stop jihadi terrorism? Solve the issue of Palestine once and for all. Remove US troops from Muslim land and Afghanistan. Follow Jefferson's advice; Commerce with all, entangling alliances with none.
