Good onya Kellie.You are one of the few who see the rise in facism in the West explode since 911.Most of the West couldn't be bothered analysing present trends."She be right mate?" I have serious doubts too.

you two are such a cute couple ..

It won't be so cute rpg when you family ends up in a facist gulag.Bush brought in the Patriot Act,Obama Preventative Dentention.3 illegal wars,wholesale theft and economic destruction via Wall St and the US Federal Reserve.It is a reality!

It's a very imperfect world , Arjay: here we are, with the US on one side and medieval reactionaries on the other, intent on either converting you and me and everyone else and imposing the law of Allah on us all, or exterminating us - and terrorising much of the world in order to bring this about.

So who do we support ? US capitalism, with its imperfect democracy, and formal freedoms of speech, and of belief - or the Caliphate, Shari'a law and the will of Allah ?

It's your choice.

And its everybody else's as well. That's the quandary.

It's (at least) a three-way world: the Yanks, the Islamist fruit-cakes and us. Would that it were simpler, but it's not, and probably never has been.

Thankfully none of the events have caught God by surprise. It does take many god deniers a bit longer to work out that mankind is corrupt. Once you get over your self righteousness you may face up to the truth. Hopefully Assange along with those he delightfully exposes will face up to it one day. Thankfully their was and is One who is incorruptible. Now that's a good Christmas message. And so this Christmas? Worship Him.

And for some, it's (at least) a four-sided world - us, the Yanks, Islamist terrorists, and our various conceptions of God :)
