I see in the news that the nurses, and the Doctor who under the excuse of vacinations, to check that Bin laden was the man the Yanks wanted, have been sacked by the Pakistan government, and the Doctor was jailed. But of course the Pakistan government did not know he was holed up there. Why do we deal with these people? KT

Russia has just said on RT TV, why is Britain and America supporting Al Queda backed insurgents in Siriya when they are connected to terrorism in the US and in Britain,???
Today three Mulsim Terrorists have been convicted for terrorism and plotting to cause death. One of them is an English convert he has got Three years, , he will be back on the street in 18 Months. He should have been charged with High Treason but wasnt. So even the Judges appear to be sympathetic to Terrorism.
I still despair

PS today is Sainsburys I saw two Bolton English converts dressed in the long dress and round hats and beards.
If they were my sons I dont think they would survive, they would have to leave the country.

Sanctions ?
Are sanctions not just similar to prohibition ?
They just open other doors to anyone selling !
EG: Prohibition just leads to Black Markets and Bootlegging.
North Korea has sanctions, yet jokingly threatened to nuke the world ?
We are not selling / providing, someone is ?
Just a thought:

The right price
Hi Shipmates , Hi Captain Kong, Back to topic "Sanction only hurt the poor in any country" when south Africa had them I was at sea. the ship I was on discharge some of its its cargo, onto a tug deck at anchor plenty of metal boxes' and other goods ? So sanctions cant stop free trade, but today there are many money hungry countries, who will sell anything for a fast buck sanctions. dont work anymore !!! you can buy any type of goods if you have gold, oil, or other trade goods "Market forces rule"

Beards, saves them a fortune of shaving gear, which they no doubt use to buy bombs.

If these people want to live in a third world style country thta is fine by me. But stay there, live in the mud and squallor, live by the stupid eye for an eye laws, I will not be offended if you do.
But I sure as hell will be if you come to my country and try to change my country to the crap you have in yours.
