    Who would want to defend the pirates? I mean so what if they were aged 16 to 19 years old, yanked up to with in pitching distance of the warship and summarily executed by three crack killers from the US armed forces.

    In the old days they were at least…

    Why are the quotes not in the "Quote" format as originally pasted. Makes it look like I am debating with myself rather than with someone with the handle of 'dontpanic'!.

    Capitalism is an idea well past its sell by date. Makes as much sense as your inane statement.

    The reason Japanese financial institutions are slashing jobs is because the free market model which gave birth to corporations is a myth, an illusion, that only survived for as long as it…

    Actually, should make that a 'fact' rather than a fact. There seems to be a lot of variation in the percentages of Arabs said to make up the population in what is now Israel, pre-1948. But one thing is clear, since 1948 the numbers of Christian Arabs that make up…

    Here's a fact that might interest you. Around one third and upwards of the total Arab population in what is now Israel were Christian. That was before Israel declared itself a state and set about freeing up the living space by ejecting or killing the Arabs.

    China and the Soviet Union, and every single other nation run under Communism that has ever existed didn't work. But neither has any Capitalist economy!!!

    The key word is 'nation'. Managed economies do not work within nation states. The world's resources are not all found within the territories of…

    The situation existing between Japan and China is tricky. Before the 'financial crises' I would have been inclined to believe that most of the nationalistic rhetoric from both sides was aimed at coalescing internal support for the present political structure; maintaining the political status quo. So long as the…

    There are ivestigations into Israeli war crmes....I've already said I'm defending neither party, and yes, it's tit-for-tat.

    What investigations are you talking of? So far as I know there are none. Israel's military police closed internal investigation after only 9 days. The talk of investigations from the international arena…

    "Tit for tat"? Lets see, three weeks of attacks on Gaza killed 1,400 Palestinians. How many Israelis killed by Hamas rockets over the years? I will let someone find the figure, the one that comes to mind is 4.

    Surgeons working in hospitals have reported that the IDF's own rules…
