well,no dout u r a smart man and u have a way with words (i wish i could
writer in english like u do ) but...u fail the read the facts my friend.
1.tell me...when was the last time u where afraid to go on a bus,to sit in
a resterant or a pub or to just walk on a crouded street? this is what we
feel here in israel for the last 15 years or even more...so please don't
talk to me about real fear when u have no idea what it means or how it
changes your life.
un....come on ,if u call yourself a siries man u should know by now that
the un is an old idea that become a bad joke,maybe u should get the
hottest movie from the un soldiers about how they didn't do anything
(exept filming it) when 3 israelis soldiers where kidnapt from the
lebanon border after we went out from there,or maybe u wanna talk about
how siria is a member in the defence comity in the un,that a good joke
no,or u wanna talk about how Kadafy is now a member in the sivil rights
in the un...r u sure u want me to keep writting about the un?
ok my friend,maybe it's time for u to learn something,when u sitting
around the table with your anemy to make peace u give something and u
take back and like the other side ,they give something and they take
back,we gave the palastiniens 97% of everything they asked and what we got
back ? a bloody terrorist war against civilians for more than 2 years,a
war that ther where well preperd for it by the command of arafat,this is u
may call it "peace of the brave" tha arab way. we made peace with egept
,and yes we gave them back the land after they attacted us but since the
last 20 years they isn't really peace between israel and egypt and the
same with jordan,in the early 90's we set down with asad willing to give
the golan back ,he didn't even want to shake a hand....
to learn and to understand about the middle east mentalety u have to work
harder or to just come and leave among us for a while and not to sit at
home back in england.
u wanna hear a true "joke",did u know that the palastinias r blaming us
for the situation...and u know y? they say it all because we brouht arafat
back from tunisia.....think about that.
i know it's kind of a sport to hate america back in england and all over
europe,i'm not saying that the american way ist the right way but sometime
u have to go deeper than the popular opinion and the last one to say
something against it is all the ex-empires-the europian countrys who still
rich after rubbing for centuaries the rest of rhe world.
i'm afraid my friend that if u like it or not ,in this new war we r in the
same side,the fanatic islam against the free world,the christians and the
jews witch is really the same after "we gave u jesus" who was 100% a jew.
so next time when u see an israeli tank insude palastinians citys remember
that we have no other choise,no one to talk too and the result it: arafat
is getting rich,the fanatics r on the top and the rest,the common israelis
and palastiniand r suffering.

Clearly CNN has failed to broadcast any news over the last 30 years or so
about the IRA, UVF, Real IRA (any flavour you like), Baader Meinhof, BSM
etc.. Anyone who thinks that we in Europe are immune from or have never
seen terrorism at close hand is either 5 tears old or has been living in a
cave.
This could, of course, be indicative of the current isolationist attitude
of Israel. Israel, of course, has had its fair share of atrocity over the
years since the 6-day war and the Munich Olympics, of course, but what
Israel is doing to what small parts of Palestine that it has not
misappropriated or annexed is totally contrary to World opinion. As is any
suggestion of armed incursion into Iraq just to satisfy the political
ambitions (distract domestic attention away from a poor economy towards an
unwarranted punch-up in the middle-east) of a corrupt US President who
justifies his actions by quoting The Old Testament and an ineffective but
nevertheless ambitious British Prime Minister who knows that his policy on
Iraq in so much against UK public opinion that he is now trying to deflect
attention away from that in the hope that we, the public will consider
public service reform to warrant closer moral attention.
Neither Bush nor Blair will be re-elected next term.
Sure, Saddam is an evil, corrupt and murdering bastard, but he and his
regime were being contained (apart from the fact that whilst he lives in
privileged luxury, his people live in relative deprived poverty). Why then
change the status quo if nothing else has changed other than the name and
political colour of the US president?
The answer, of course is money and political ambition, naked and blind.
Bush and Blair are perfect support for the view that anyone who wishes to
stand for political office should be automatically barred from doing so
because they clearly crave power and, as we all know, power corrupts.
The rhetoric that is being used by the Bush-Blair alliance makes it very
clear that the UN inspections are nothing more than a charade. Saddam very
probably has some very nasty toys, but the chances of finding any concrete
proof are very slim, so what will happen is that the US will get impatient
with Hans Blix, forcing an end to inspections. The UN will say that
nothing has been found, so no invasion is warranted or sanctioned by any
UN resolution. The USA will then say that as it is the largest financial
contributor to the UN, it will cease contributions unless a new resolution
is forced through (it?s my ball and if you won?t play the game that I want
to play, I?m taking the ball home).
The cause of conflict is usually the ambition and greed of corrupt and
unimaginative people. Bush has the ambition to serve a second term, but
lacks the imagination to solve the USA?s economic and social problems at
home. Blair is much the same. So they resort to conflict.
Israel steals land from a people whom it keeps imprisoned and subjugated.
The UN has told Israel to stop this and to release annexed lands back to
the Palestinian state, which it has failed to do, but because Israel has
such a strong lobby within the US Senate and Congress and the US is the
self-appointed enforcer of the UN, nothing is done. Israel does this
because it is not content to make do with the lands that it was granted in
1948. Its actions are no more morally correct than the Iraqi invasion
Kuwait. The difference is that Israel is buddy-buddy with the playground
bully and there is no oil involved.
Like any bully, Israel considers only its own greed and wants and not the
plight and suffering of the Palestinian people that it displaces. The
world, of course, has seen such travesties of justice and humanity before,
Zimbabwe, Uganda, Northern Ireland and, oh yes, Germany in the late 1930?s
and early 1940?s.
The extension of Avihay Robin?s argument that ?before it will be too late
and before sadam will have a nuclear bomb (sic)? is that everyone on the
planet should be incarcerated because we all have the potential to commit
murder, irrespective of whether any one individual has or not.
Saddam is not a direct and immediate threat to world peace. The USA is.

Hi all,
I must say I know all this, because I'm e real big Marillion-fan...
I even paid for that record in advance (and my name is in the booklet of
the limited edition album...)
Now they're trying to do the same thing all over again for the next album.
One difference though...
They're trying to raise enough money to pay all promotiom-stuff
themselves....
This instead of one or another recordcompany.
They just asked their fans what they all think about the idea...
Hans.

Happy New Year all.
Did anyone read the Doors supplement in the Sunday Times this week,
especially the Marillion article?
For those who didn't, it ran something like this:
The example of pomp rockers Marillion - not the hippest of bands -
suggests a new business paradigm. Dropped by their record company for
being unfashionable, the band had to cancel a US tour, until Jeff Woods, a
fan from Raleigh, North Carolina, took matters into his own hands. Woods,
who had been to 75 Marillion concerts, raised #37,000 online from other
fans and the tour went ahead. Realising the power of the internet to build
a like-minded artistic community, within months 13,000 fans had each paid
Marillion #16 in advance - totalling more than #200,000 - which allowed
the band to record their recent CD Anoraknophobia. Suddenly, Marillion had
the biggest recording advance of their career and no record company to
call their tune.
"We were the first band to recognise the potential of the internet," said
the singer Steve Hogarth. "We have cut out the middle men in suits, who
have been taking most of our money for the past 20 years. What is so
brilliant about the net is that we can ask 40,000 fans at the touch of a
button what they think about a proposed release. It makes music incredibly
democratic."
Having sacked their manager and fired their booking agent - fans now book
the shows - the band employ a full-time web editor to keep
www.marillion.com up to date. He sits in the office next to their
recording studio - a fan could not get much closer without being on stage
- and band members visit the site's forum twice-weekly to contribute to
the debate.
"Sure, the net threatens the record industry," Hogarth said, "but it
doesn't threaten the artist. It frees the artist."
You can't say we didn't try with Swagger but an idea worth pursuing, maybe.
