National pastime in Aden is and has always been "kill the stranger" that place is the worlds arsehole, did my bit there in 67, never been so glad to get out of a place in my life, good education though!!!

Thought they were pretty nifty, the film we saw on telly only lasted a few minutes and the nutter was trussed, compare that to the fiasco in St Bernadino where we are led to believe the population is armed to the teeth but no-one had a shot at either of them! maybe they weren't black enough ?

2 ways to sort out middle east
1. Western governments to stop interfering and let them sort themselves. Will take 20 years I reckon.
2. Do what the american general said in 2002 ( can't remember his name). Occupy all the countries in the shit with 4 million men, for 15 years. Train local forces slowly but surely. Set up cross party governments and back them financially and militarily for the 15 years. Withdraw gradually over the following 5 years.
Bush and Blair have a lot to answer for.

Remember the Sandy Row nursery shootings a few years ago. The response of the NRA in America was that they should arm the feckin teachers! Anyone tell me how the yanks are any better than the lunatics in the middle east.searcher wrote:Thought they were pretty nifty, the film we saw on telly only lasted a few minutes and the nutter was trussed, compare that to the fiasco in St Bernadino where we are led to believe the population is armed to the teeth but no-one had a shot at either of them! maybe they weren't black enough ?
