I feel like I want her murderer needs to be publicly hung up in the square; 1 count of murder, and several counts of bioterrorism.

So a second space station in orbit along with the ISS. Looks like China is attempting to catch up the fast way. Though to be fair, they don't need to go through all the steps the Americans and Russians did...since the Americans and Russians proved it works already.

I wonder why the aid ship didn't inform the Israeli navy in advance before shipping stuff. If they didn't they certainly deserved to be sunk - obviously the New Straits Times journalist is selling news by omitting whether the Israeli navy was informed of the shipment.
Besides, they are warning shots. Why the fuss? Also : Soros dumped most gold in Q1, Paulson stays put Quote:

Well you can tell that the article is a red herring by this phrase :
Quote:
To nitpick, why do they choose the sea route when the land route is much safer and less likely to put the crew and cargo in danger? It seems that these people are deliberately driving the ship down there to provoke a response and demonise Israel.

I also liked the part that says :

and then make it seem like "thankfully, the brave Egyptian navy came and scared the evil Israelis off" later on. Quote:
there is more "Aid" going into Gaza every week through land then a ship of that size could possibly carry in a year, and Egypt's apperently more then willing to let them send their stuff in through the Rafah crossing. they try by sea because the whole POINT is provocation.

I just found out an interesting fact.
the MV Finch has another name (google it). "the Spirit of Rachel Corrie" so yeah, it's entirely a propaganda trick aimed at getting bad press.

Well there is also :

Quote:
If they are inhumane, by naval defense doctrine, they would have put in a couple of lightweight torpedoes and get S-13 to raid the ship. It suspiciously looks like a government sanctioned attempt to provoke a response. It is a political response against Iran - who would be sending the Al-Quds to protect the ships if Israel is the only one to enforce the blockade, which would then ignite a three-way war with the Sunni Muslims. When the Muslim states aren't condemning Israel, they will be fighting each other, remember?

Mindful that the UN and most nations are opposed to the blockade (now going on its fouth year) for various reasons. Many based on newer laws that Israel never signed, or based on assumption on what Gaza under Hamas is or isn't.
The United States supports the blockade on the historical level, but has called for Israel to let up on it seeing it as not a sustainable solution. Egypt has lessed its part of the land blackade under pressure, but still enforces other parts of the blockade. Israel's problem is Hamas. This means that Palastines problem is also Hamas. Hamas goes, and all likelihood the Blockade goes too.

Somehow, it seems that Malaysia is still being governed by a bunch of racist retards who are throwing chaff like that to divert domestic attention away from their failing economy and inherently racist political structure. It is seriously time for them to wake up their idea, I don't want an Afghanistan at my doorstep.

And yet more trouble...now Syria. Just what are we going to do about this...what should we do?
