Sorry GG. I have to disagree with that.Get rid of all the stupid ineffective airport security and ban on toothpaste bigger than 99g.
Give China 10 more years and....ouch.
I'm sick of people making a problem that generally doesn't exist. All the we can't do that because it might offend <insert what ever group(s)> and the community is the poorer for it.
Yet when you ask who has been offended, generally no one knows. Plain stupid.
We're appeasing the demands of a minority without getting anything return which allows the radical Muslims to set the agenda. A perfect example was the recent decision by British government no longer to teach the Holocaust in its school system because it offends some Muslims
Any of the idiotic arab prostestors who think beheading is the only answer to just about anything, then I support a tax pay funded 1 way ticket to a country where you can find others who have a similar attitude to yours.
Just don't tar them all with the same brush. i have many muslim friends and they're sick of the activity of the religious nutters just as much as we are.
My hope is the west will wean itself off middle east oil quick smart. I long for the day when we close our borders to these countries and give them a few hundred years to get thru their continuing dark ages. Maybe 50 years into their enlightenment / reformation we can start to trade and intermingle.
If this makes me racist or bigoted, well i'll take the label, as long as these idiots start admitting their suicide murders and haven't had any social progress for a couple of Millenia.
I truly hope we can avoid the clash of civilisations, but am growing pessimistic that it will be forced upon us.
It's not a race, it's a stupid submissive ideology.If this makes me racist
+1
Also,
It's not a race, it's a stupid submissive ideology.
I've come to the conclusion only white people are racist.
I was thinking much about the mostly European and North American workers killed in Algeria by the Al Qaeda thug, and his henchmen, whose name I thankfully have not committed to memory.
It made me think that the West needs to adopt a similar ethic as it did in WW11.
Civilians are going to be casualties in this war.
We need to harden up to this fact.
Our lives have been so changed by a small bunch of irresponsible extreme hostile Islamists, since 9/11, that at some stage we have to say, enough is enough.
Get rid of all the stupid ineffective airport security and ban on toothpaste bigger than 99g.
And there will be civilian casualties.
We cannot have them change our freedoms and way of life, there is no safe place against them.
This is inevitable in a just war against fascism.
We just need to go after the bastards, wherever they lie.

Yes, like the US, eventually. Maybe 20 or 30 years... Do you not think with their new found economic and eventual military might they will not want to influence other countries in the region into doing what is in their own best interest? They will also have some responsibility to assist the international community in keeping the peace abroad in places such as Africa where they will have significant economic interest I think. Maybe they'll just be international nice guys?Really? They are an aggressor in 10 years time? What, like the US Kennas?

Yes, I read a pretty interesting book recently called The Next 100 Years, by George....someone. A very respected futurist. He predicts they'll break up and the US maintains it's dominance with a war between the US and Mexico likely...Only if their political system maintains stability.

By George Friedman
A fascinating, eye-opening and often shocking look at what lies ahead for the U.S. and the world from one of our most incisive futurists.
In his thought-provoking new book, George Friedman, founder of STRATFOR””the preeminent private intelligence and forecasting firm””focuses on what he knows best, the future. Positing that civilization is at the dawn of a new era, he offers a lucid, highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the twenty-first century all based on his own thorough analysis and research. For example, The U.S.-Jihadist war will be replaced by a new cold war with Russia; China’s role as a world power will diminish; Mexico will become an important force on the geopolitical stage; and new technologies and cultural trends will radically alter the way we live (and fight wars). Riveting reading from first to last, The Next 100 Years is a fascinating exploration of what the future holds for all of us.

Yep, and this one.Futurists are a dime a dozen.
Just look at the Global Warming Hysteria thread.

David Cameron has warned that a diplomatic response would not be enough to tackle the growing terrorist threat in north Africa and that a “robust security response” must be deployed.
