Give you a break. Marilyn you must have your head stuck in the sand if you think that George Bush hasn’t been confronted with all sorts of ill-tempered and vile slander from the loony left.

George Bush is the president of the United States, our closest ally. Bob Browns statements were not broadly accepted by the Australian public as reasonable and he was written off as a KOOK, which is what he is.

Ahmedinejhad is the President of a dictatorship. He suppresses his opposition by torturing them and jailing them.

Iran is attacking both the US and Israel every day. Revolutionary guards are fighting in Iraq. Funds and weapons are also being provided to terrorists in Iraq. Hezbollah was formed by Iran to fight Israel and they are showered with Katushas which have the range to attack Israeli cities.

Iran persecutes minority groups such as the Bahai and Homosexuals, including murder, torture and imprisonment. You even provided evidence of it yourself

Iran is attempting to gain nuclear weapons and has said many times they are working towards the end of Jews living in the Middle East. Whatever you want to pretend about what Ahmedinejhad really meant when he said he wanted Israel wiped out, you cannot deny he wants an end to the Jewish state.

It’s funny how you will happily support a savage theocratic regime, who would put you in prison for daring to voice your opinion, yet you cannot stomach a Jewish state. That is called hypocrisy, Madame.

Everything Bollinger said was the truth, How do you have the stomach to deny it

To say that Ahmadinajad does not want to exterminate Jews and Christians would be the same as saying the pope is not Catholic.

Islam's sole purpose is to destroy anything 'not-Islamic' - that has been their mandate since Mohammad’s started leading his mob in Madinah, killing, torturing, raping, and stealing from Jews and non-muslims.

Islam is believed to be the only true way of life - the Qur'an is the manual for all times - it contains all the answers to humanity’s past, present and future problems.

The Qur’an repeatedly instructs all believers (Muslims) that anything else not mentioned in their texts (other religion or ideology) is not from Allah or his prophet Mohammad therefore MUST be purified by the sword (Jihad).

People (non-believers in Islam) of course can opt for a peaceful choice by simply converting to Islam, or choose to live under subjugation, or be brave and resist the cordial invitation and be killed and burn in eternal fire that Allah prepared for ALL non-Muslims.

The tragedy is that the followers of this supremacist terrorist cult either have not a clue what (it) stands for, or are too scared to question anything, or are blatantly and knowingly deceiving themselves and us to attain their devilish aims.

If nothing drastic is done to expose and stop this dangerous global regime; expect the inevitable Islamic world domination under several Caliphates within a decade or so...unless Christ Jesus returns before!

Paull, at times I have agreed with your logic, but to have both Iraq and Iran converted to the American Way, with Iran very likely pulverised with US and Israeli atomic rockets, scares hell out of me, making me glad that going on 87 I could soon be leaving this world.

I have mentioned in another thread how great it would be to have thinker leaders like Bismarck and Maynard Keynes again in this world.

Please remember it was Bismarck who in 1875 had active German artillery drawn all the way to the gates of Paris, telling the formerly arrogant French leaders, now ready to surrender, that he would leave them be because he did want to set the whole of Europe aflame.

Later it was Maynard Keynes who spoke before he died near the end of WW2, that if Bismarck had been alive in 1914, WW1 would never have come to be, and without WW1, very likely only a harmless Hitler would have come to be, who arose because France and allies had treated the German people so harshly during the Treaty of Versailles, thus truly bringing on WW2.

Finally, also remember that it was Keynes who before he died near the end of WW2, gave voice to take a lesson from Versailles and to treat the German and Japanese people decently after WW2 - which was decently done, as we all know.

As a historian one wonders why our present leaders have not learnt a few lessons from the above?

coach, should i cherry-pick from the bible, to "prove" how evil christianity is? grow up.

Paul L, i share your revulsion of Ahmadinajad. what i don't understand is how you have no revulsion left for bush. you say "George Bush is the president of the United States, our closest ally", as if somehow this demands our respect for bush. damned if i know why.

i don't get it. you're not dumb. but you don't seem to see how divisive, destructive, and just plain nasty the bush administration has been.

bushbasher,

Be my guest!

here you go, coach.

11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: 12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

Deuteronomy 25:11-12

If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.


Deuteronomy 20:10-14

As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.


Leviticus 20:10

Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." 6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."

Genesis 19:4-8
