Friday Photo: What's Mara thinking?

Equal Opportunities minister? What is that?
She must be thinking: "Outrageous! Look how flamboyant his attire is. I want an outfit like THAT!!!"

He is viewing the world through the American correctness-prism, without showing any evidence, that he has the pragmatic skills, that is necessary for the smooth interaction with the 98 % of the worlds population that are living outside New York City. He makes fun with everything, but never about the 5 million Jewish settlers in Palestine or the 6 million New Yorkers that through their financial contributions and/or their infiltration with American Governmnet makes this possible.

He fail to see that Gaddafi belongs to the old school - the proud Bedouin tradition, and thinks that everyone should look like, -- well Joshua Keating in order to count. [how does he look, why are there no pictures of him available, like there is with Stephen Walt and Daniel Drezner?] When he psots these imagines of Gaddafi he is probably reacting to currents in his subconcience, who orders him to expose enemies of Israel in this way. That Gaddafi is an enemy to Israel and a staunch friend to the Palestinians is a great quality in him. If he was not, he would be seen as someone who had no honour, who had departed from inherited norms of honour. Then he would look like the other Quislings in the araea, who J. Keating no doubt loves.

The whole episode have connotations to America's ruling elites dragging of feet in normalising ties to Libya, precisely because this ruling elite primarily consists of people with close ties to Israel.

Again it was the civilised British that led the way after neo-conservatives scripted Ronald Reagans uttering about Gaddafi as 'a mad dog'. The same neo-conservatives attacked the sovereign country of Libya in 1986, as a response to a bomb-attack on a disco in Berlin.

We see here the civilised British beinmg an influence for good and sound pragmatism, whereas our ideological opponennts are all those with ties to Israel, who every now and again distorts American Foreign Policy, the last examples being the Iraq War and the decision to attack Taliban in their stronghold in South Afghanistan in 2005 (from 2006 under the command of NATO, and now again --due to the sheer numbers of US troops -- under the controle of America). This led to Taliban Guerillas fleeing to Pakistan, from where they increasingly came under attack from the CIA, and then they fled further inland, and now the Pakistan Army are using heavyhand tactics, that have led to the displacement of 3 million people. Make no mistake about it: J. Keating supports this interference by the Pakistany Army. He follows the current winds blowing from Washington, and has so far not shown any signs of being able to thonk for himself on these matters. He thinks that it was a good idea, and since he had not spoken out against it, and said that it is terrible that 3 million people are now displaced, it means that he is co-responsible for the tragedy.
