Stripping the "Great" out of Britain
Wednesday, 4 April 2007 8:21 P GMT+01
This UK-Iran crisis did nothing to affirm the great in Great Britain, instead we were out-manoeuvred at every turn as the Iranians chose the tempo of events.
Celebrating Guantanamo Bay at Five
Thursday, 11 January 2007 10:59 P GMT+01
The symbol of our freedom and the loss of the high moral ground that gives us the means to sue for peace. Guantanamo Bay is rotten monster of a child at five.
An admission in remission
Friday, 8 September 2006 6:55 P GMT+01
Admitting the CIA secret prisons did exist leaves one wondering how many more admissions would completely destroy the last ounce of respect America can show.
Ahmedinejad-Bush coming to your television
Tuesday, 29 August 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
The Iranian doctor of engineering invites a one-time failed oil businessman to a debate about world issues. I want a front row seat, who is selling the tickets? bin Laden might also already be dead so what fuels the war on terror?
I take this opportunity
Sunday, 27 August 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
This was the preamble to an invitation to the high table of a 50th Birthday party I attended and I think I am a lot less Nigerian than I thought I was.
Made in America - just in your backyard
Friday, 25 August 2006 9:21 P GMT+01
Unexploded cluster bombs supplied by the US to Israel are found in Lebanon - Let us see how Condi Rice tackles America's image from all perspectives.
The terminal decline of air travel
Friday, 25 August 2006 8:33 P GMT+01
With all the scares and diversions, air travel is becoming too much of an inconvenience we might as well not bother travelling to save the earth.
Back to James Blake and Rosa Parks - 1955 to 2006
Friday, 25 August 2006 1:50 A GMT+01
Black students are asked to give up their seats for white students 51 years after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. America, we've got a serious problem.
The end to presidential voyeurism
Friday, 18 August 2006 7:24 A GMT+01
A judge has declared the unwarranted surveillance of American citizens illegal. That is one big win for civil liberties all around the world, in my view.
The American-Israeli tinderbox that Hezbollah lit up
Tuesday, 15 August 2006 2:25 A GMT+01
If America was already privy to Israeli plans to attack Lebanon long before the kidnap of the 2 soldiers in Israel on July the 12th, the whole truth of this matter does not augur well for the new world order at all.
A large body count with no ease as war ceases
Monday, 14 August 2006 5:11 P GMT+01
The people who lost the most from the Israeli-Lebanon conflict are those who were sacrificed in the proxy war between American and Iran, neither Israel nor Lebanon have gained anything - rather they would have to talk to each other.
Not leaving on a jet plane soon
Sunday, 13 August 2006 12:17 P GMT+01
The number of planned terror attacks have been foiled, we are told, with that comes greater paranoia from the United States than the terrorists themselves could have intended. It you as much as have any liq
Daytime television a cure for current news
Tuesday, 8 August 2006 2:42 P GMT+01
Well, I have gone off the news, my remote control deliberately misses every news channel as daytime television seems a welcome relief.
Somehow, Israel can do no wrong
Monday, 31 July 2006 7:57 P GMT+01
The angel of death arrives in Qana, Lebanon a second time, on the wings of American supplied bombs, autographed by religious Jews and chaperoned by Israeli aircraft. This is utter madness.
Condi is not welcome in Lebanon
Sunday, 30 July 2006 10:38 A GMT+01
Sometimes you just have to speak up and stop being run around by seemingly benevolent but insincere friends. Lebanon has reached that stage with America by saying the Secretary of State is not welcome. A snub as good as you can get.
A poker hand of unintended consequences
Sunday, 30 July 2006 9:51 A GMT+01
The gamble US, Britain and Israel have taken in the Lebanon issue can see a better resolution than new occupations. Israel should relinquish occupied territories of Shebaa Farms and Golan Heights. That is the really hard but courageous decision.
Evidence of good medical research
Tuesday, 25 July 2006 7:02 P GMT+01
That testtube baby is 28 today - that was research done in Europe for the benefit of all - hopefully, America and see through the emotion of stem cell research just as Europe did yesterday.
Pay up or get bombed up
Tuesday, 25 July 2006 4:24 P GMT+01
In a suit filed in the US, it has come to light that one of the reasons there might still be Americans left to be evacuated from Lebanon is they were at one time required to agree to pay the costs of their evacuation. Get we get any lower?
Condolezza condoles with aid
Tuesday, 25 July 2006 9:44 A GMT+01
Dr Rice's unannounced visit to Lebanon finished every semblance of genuine friendship between the Lebanese and America as they are being sacrificed on the altar of some new Middle-East order. Know your friends.
Condolezza brings condolences - maybe more
Sunday, 23 July 2006 7:35 A GMT+01
Until America demands a cessation of violence by every forceful means possible, this Middle-East conflict would only continue. To now learn that Israel is asking for an arms order to be speeded up from the US, leaves much to be desired of the US.
Insemination Tax Credit
Tuesday, 6 June 2006 5:08 P GMT+01
If the President of the United States is really serious about strong marriages, he should stop going after gay marriage and rather strengthen marriage through Insemination Tax Credits.
Diplomatic tactlessness
Tuesday, 9 May 2006 9:35 A GMT+01
The Iranian President writes to George Bush - they read and castigate - are there not other ways to reply to a letter? The US could have been more discrete, sensitive and mature about this episode - Unlikely!!
Old-age Rum's field day
Friday, 5 May 2006 9:43 P GMT+01
A hapless septuagenarian was heckled during an important speech to his supporters, then accused of lying. How rotten! This is in empathetic concern and commiseration. Why badger a poor old man?
