Or the 1991 gulf war. Or the support for Mubarak in Egypt (one of the high ranking AlQuaida guys was an Egypt)

Re: Aaaaanyway (none / 0)

Geee...

Too bad the Americans are our friends and Osama is not. But I actually prefer it that way around.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

More precise (none / 1)

With neutral I don't necessarily mean a passive bystander as the Swiss model, but in the ideal case actively working that on both sides violance isn't accapted as a tool of politics and compromises with which at least the moderate can live are worked out to drain with time the support of fundamentalistic opinions away.

So if your friend nearly drunkenly gets into a fight one night, you should automatically join him, rather than get him out of there till he's sober and has thought it through?

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
