The Brotherhood wants the Caliphate now. And the "international community" is so eager to support them. Poor Copts.

Jail the ones who committed crimes, hang the leaders, close down their facilities, outlaw their religion, and check the contents of what their remaining followers are are teaching.
That is the way to deal with a virulent religion like Aum.

From the article I´d say there is a fair chance that was not his money to start with.

She was incredibly naive in going to Hawaii. Now lets see if she actually returns and fetches the daughter. As a betting man, I would put my money against that.

Well said. From the article, all we know that this was an extremely violent crash. Yet so many people seem to have miraculous knowledge about exactly what went wrong and who is to blame.

Well, how about putting Nicola Roxon and her collegues under big burkhas? Then the glamour is gone, and they are exposed for what they are: plain vanilla politians who pass stupid laws.

I am not even a smoker, but I sympathise with Philip Morris here. This is ridiculous. If they think tobacco should be illegal, then outlaw it! As long as it is a legal product, the government has no business to harrass producers and consumers like this.

I don´t like man´s volleyball. It is all slam-bang-finish. Volleyball is a sport where the women´s games are more fun to watch. They actually get to some sequences going.

Both Germany and France killed their fast breeder projects; Japan should do so too. This particular technology is simply too iffy to realize.

OK, come one, why so negative. As royality goes, these two are pretty cool. Certainly preferrable to the British running royal soap opera for example.

No. You can bet your behind that he is a religious convert and sincerely believed that he would be rewarded for the bombing by god.
There are plenty more of these people. That he is from Manhattan or from the Dominican Republic or whatnot is completely irrelevant.

Of course we never find out, but neither do we find out how many cancers are falsely attributed to nuclear power.
Fact is, anybody who lives long enough will eventually get cancer, because cells are damaged all the time and at one point in life, the repair mechanism will fail.
The reason that people in "unspoilt" environments do not have high cancer rates is simply that they do not live long enough!
It is tiring reading all these anti-nuclear activist speculation articles.

The "american passport" in the story is totally irrelevant to his action. What is relevant is his belief system ... oops, that must not be mentioned. We are left to guess.

Foxie:
Nigel is spot on, and he did not compare Angela to Hitler. He is addressing exactly what has happened to the Euro project.
Oh yes? I speak more than a little German, French, Italian , Spanish and Dutch. Can you tell me what picture is supposed to appear?

There is of course no "Euro firewall", and about Germany´s obvious dominance in the Eurozone (as its de facto only payer), Nigel Farage has a brilliant commet in the Euro parliament here:
