The today's world will either be stepping forward into an era where conservation and the environment really matter, or it will be stepping back into the Dark Ages, where the people of the world think that the slaughter of whales using grenades, electric lances and shooting them with rifles is…

george bush never saw a protester. The Secret Service put them in fenced areas up to 5 miles away.

Come on aday. Everyone knows this is incorrect. While typically the secret service does screen protesters, saying he never saw one is way over the mark. If you want a specific…

This is ludicrous. The mainstream media, like the rest of us, has been bending over backwards in order to differentiate between the sort of terrorists who perpetrated 9/11, the Madrid, London, Bali, Mumbai et al bombings and mainstream Islam. The Danish cartoons were an extremely rare case, that's why it's…

Yabits - And you are mocking the garrison commander at Fort Bragg, who made an intelligent decision.

It may surprise you to know this, but I actually agree with you on this subject, and for that matter on the decision as well. To put it simply, she has the right…

Hindus don't cause problems...

While I agree with most of what you said there, I think a lot of Indian Muslims would disagree with this blanket statement. Particularly when you consider some of the religious riots they've had there, where followers of Islam were murdered by the Hindus. They're not…

why hasnt any country with a bit more political clout than Australia tried to close the 'loophole' ?

Because if they close the loophole, Japan would simply withdraw from the IWC, and begin commercial whaling instead. Rather like Iceland and Norway.

"Meanwhile, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a U.S.-based anti-whaling…

Sorry Yabits, that is a huge post in response. But you had all those smaller posts, I wanted to respond to all of them together. Hope you can get through it.

JFK would be perfectly comfortable with his fellow Harvard alumni, Barack Obama. And Teddy would have been the first to agree with that.

Read some of JFKs positions and you'll realize how off base you are. Its certainly not a stretch to say that JFK from the 60s would be…

“Remember this a process which is about fundamentally changing the direction of global economic growth, and I think that world leaders would like to do that at a speed that they feel comfortable with,” he said.

Blaming it on Clinton whitewashes the fact that Bush had 8 years to do something and didn't. I won't play that blame game. I just think that this is a dumb thing to do today.

I agree to a certain extent. Bush tried going with Multi party talks. In forcing…
