David Jennings,

Yes, Leigh is basically a cyber-bully.

Peter Humes is correct.Both Bush and Obama should be held accountable for illegal wars.The USA is an absolute mess suffering looting from foreign corportates who also instigate wars for profit.

Israel wants to invade Iran under false pretences.These wars are due to peak oil and the Corporate energy suppliers want it all.War is not the solution.

OLO has been allowing an increasing amount of stream of consciousness ranting of late but this has to take the cake as the most inane, incoherent amalgam of prejudiced invective yet. To seriously give credence to the BIRTHERS makes this article beyond contempt!

Oh please, both Obama and Bush have followed a rather consistent tune.

And as far as I'm concerned, BOTH deserve our scorn for the way they treat the rest of the world- especially us and its other Western allies- by trying to dump Guantanamo inmates on other nation's publics to which they were supposed to be friends with.

But let me ask you- with friends like these, who try to con you into taking potential terrorists into your house so it can wash its hands of them, and is making itself and its friends enemies of the world by its reckless and often illegal actions- how exactly are we safer by sticking to these people?

I think Rudd should use the snub as an excuse to pull out of Afghanistan- after risking our troops and putting a big crosshair on our heads for the terrorists JUST to support this country, all they did was stab us in the back.

Israel seems so determined to not only break laws but out to make itself hated by all and sundry.

Not only have they made a sucker of Silly Hillary, but instead of being even officially decent to US Vice-President Joe Biden, Israel has given him the dirty finger by deliberately announcing the construction of 1800 new Israeli housing units in East Jeruselam.

Historical academics may well ask why Israel is so much out to make herself even more unpopular, just as Biden for the US was set to announce a new round of democratic proximity talks with the Palestinians.

According to the Guardian it seems Israel has been doing its dammdest to prevent the establishment of a two-state solution for the Palestine area, only making it harder for Israel herself as she grows more and more globally unpopular

It didn’t take long for smear and false accusations of racism to be launched against me. Allow me to confuse my accusers with some facts:

1. BHO may or may not be a practicing Christian today
2. His father and step-father were both Muslims and hence he was seen by other Muslims as a fellow Muslim
3. He attended both a madrassa and a Catholic school in Jakarta. In both schools he was enrolled as a Muslim;
4. His mother was an atheist not a Christian

The above gives rise to two questions:

(a) Assuming he did convert, when and where did he do so? and
(b) If he did convert, then he is surely a murtadd (an apostate), which
under Shari’a law the punishment is the shedding of his blood.
