Zimbabwe’s main problem

The problems caused by Robert Mugabe, who is now the illegal President of Zimbabwe, could be solved quite easily. It wouldn’t take long, and would be very easy to implement. I wrote a which I believe would solve nearly all of Zimbabwe’s problems. I can’t think of anything else that would, and anyone who says otherwise is plainly an idiot.

I can’t understand why more world leaders aren’t pushing for an invasion at least, and Read more...

America’s Missile Shield

I’ve been reading in the news about the Russian and American Presidents meeting and making ‘some’ progress on the plans for an American missile defence shield.

Personally, I think the shield is a bad idea and completely unecessary. It creates a complete inbalance of world nuclear power and is unnecessarily provoking an underestimated giant. Fact is I believe the West needs Russia as much as Russia needs the West.

No country in the world would be stupid enough to launch missiles at the United States, and no country hostile to the United States would be stupid enough to have so little security around their CBM’s that a terrorist or rogue elements of a government could launch a missile at the U.S.

America knows this, so what’s with the shield? I remember reading an article on the BBC News website about how Russia feels about this whole shield saga. Here is an excerpt:

Just now, it would be absurd to talk about such trust between Russia and the US.

Theoretically, it was possible five or six years ago, when Russia and the US were united against terrorism, but the trust gradually disappeared and Russia believes that it has been cheated by the US.

In Putin’s eyes, Russia has done a great deal for the West and America. Putin removed the military base from Vietnam, he shut down the radar station in Cuba, he did not stand in the way of the US opening bases in Central Asia.

The US believes that Russia had no choice and that it was in Russian interests anyway but Russia believes that all it got for its efforts was the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the dispute with Georgia, Nato expansion and now these anti-missile sites.

Putin’s sharp words today come down to his deep sense of disappointment in the US. He feels misused.

It’s quite an interesting article from Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of foreign affairs journal Russia in Global Affairs. You can read it here >>

Canada’s Refusal to Accept U.N Treaty

Canada has a worldwide reputation for being a peacemaker and being a great place for fleeing refugees and oppressed people to come and escape persecution.

I once spoke to someone in Yahoo! chat a long time ago… they were fleeing somewhere in the Balkans but I can’t remember where. They’d got a choice of pretty much any country in the world that they wanted to go. I remember that person asked the powers that be about which country would allow him freedom of speech, religion, thought and from persecution and from corrupt people in power. He chose Canada.

It bothers me that so many people can praise Canada and the thing’s this country has done in history and be so blind to {{post id=”canadas-holocaust” text=”the horrors in Canada’s past”}}.

Kidnapping children in gunboats? Whipping, beating, slapping, kicking and punching children for speaking their language? Murdering the babies born to young girls raped by priests? What a great country… now that’s a real example to live up to.

The fact that Canada refuses to accept and ratify the U.N treaty on indigenous rights just smacks of hypocriticism. Canada talks smack about the Taleban and their abuse of women’s rights and then in the next breath bows out of a U.N charter that states basic human rights for colonised people, stating that Canadian law already protects those.

What Canada really meant was that it didn’t accept it because it would mean owning up to the fact that Aboriginal folk in Canada are living in a permanent lower social scale, under horrific conditions and they’re not willing to put the human rights of Native people over the life and home comforts and luxuries of all the colonising non-native people.

Baghdad Murder Toll

I don’t usually do two blog posts in one day… but you have to take a look at this interactive flash map of Baghdad.

Check out the sideways slider below the map. It’s a bit alarming at how dull our senses are becoming to murder just because it happens frequently.

Plodding On

As usual… life plods on. Work is going good. Very very busy.

Life on the home front is same as always. Rocky at times, great at others. My daughter is doing excellently. I have great trouble getting her to drink her milk all at once… the only time I don’t have problems feeding her is in the morning around 6am.

Lorraine doesn’t have problems getting her to eat… and didn’t with Nicolas either, even though he was with me 90% of the days when he was still on the bottle. It used to bother me that my children eat better for their mother than me, but it doesn’t much at all anymore. I figure it’s just one of those things that has no rhyme or reason that I can figure out. So it’s all good!

I’m building my own community portal at http://www.kenoralife.ca to try and compete with long standing, but lack lustre local competitors mykenora.com and gokenora.com. Kenora Life offers free email addresses, and will eventually offer free webhosting, classifieds and a search engine. All in good time!

I’m sure most educated people have heard the latest bullshit in the Middle East – Iran has captured 15 British Navy sailors. They’ve said that the Brits were in Iranian waters… which is about as sure as anything could be sure wrong! Iran gave one set of coordinates… and then when the Navy pointed out those were still inside Iraq’s waters, Iran changed to another set of coordinates. They won’t release them, and the wimp in 10 Downing Street won’t launch a Cruise missile strike against Iran. If Margaret Thatcher was in power… this would have been over 5 days ago.

If Iran acts this way and tries to bully people now… what can we expect with a nuclear armed Iran? We need to bomb the hell out of the Ayatollah, and Ahmenedin

It irks me that Iran’s military could sneak up on ours without being detected which is almost impossible… so what the likely story is that either there was a failure of command on the HMS Cornwall, or they were in Iranian waters and were testing response times.

It irks me that it took President Bush a week to publicly say anything. I’ve been reading various peoples comments about this. One said that the Americans would have blown the Iranians out of the water… but instead we just surrender humbly and write rambling letters.

Put me in charge and I’ll have this sorted out in a week – launch a couple of Trident warheads at Tehran, and take a British aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf and keep it there permanently… that’d sort out those stupid f**king Persians. Why don’t they just stick to playing chess and making rugs?
