Yes we do need to give the less developed nations and spots on this planet more of the wealth , for dissatisfaction is what the terrorist's(Indians) feed on to recruit or fuel anger.

Good stuff from the post, and interesting point, Zip. I like the NP, but it is notable they are unfortunately vague on who they point the finger at. That being said, before dismissing racial profiling out of hand as fuel for racial stress, which it very well might be, I'd suggest that the racial stress growing now that, let's be frank here, Anglo-Saxons and their ilk are being targeted when they have not been perpetrators of terrorism simply becuase of PC,is not good either.

I`m sure everyone here can supply annecdotes of rediculous airline security. Mine was travelling to Edmonton. I walked through without an issue. Five minutes later as I`m sipping a beer and watching security, I saw an 80 year old guy given the most thorough going over. Appalling.

I`d like to see the government show some real courage on this and engage some of the minority leadership which profiling would effect, and frankly, I`d like to see some responsibility from the minorities in which these terrorists are recruited.

It's not going to happen Gunnair. Nobody in charge has the balls to admit that white people are not the ones with bombs up their arse as they get on an aircraft.

The $10 an hour security guys from Pakistan that make up the security staff at YYZ will carry on hassling old white guys and pregnant women because we are now a culture and nation of pussies. The same people who have made us stop saying 'Christmas' turn a blind eye to the obvious threat and make us all suffer.

We won't say a thing and the 'minority' communities won't act to stop their crazies within.

Nobody is accountable these days. I blame the Woodstock generation that are now in charge.

Maybe the Muslims could do more to wipe out the radical end of their religion , but who would take their place as someone elses cause will come along .

[EyeBrock]

The Muslims will carry on as they have done for centuries.

Winston Churchill wrote in 1899:

"Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness."


A hundred and ten years on nothing has changed in the Islamic world.

[OldChum]

Nor in the Christian one we still have war do we not .

[EyeBrock]

We don't walk on aircraft with bombs up our arse. The comparison is trite.

Here's another good Winny quote:

"The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men."

We could add gays to the long list of the oppressed in Islam.

And they will remain oppressed.

The oppressors will gain comfort from the apologists for their ways within our countries.

No we hire people to subvert goverments and or attempt to bribe them and or buy them off. Shaw Of Iran and numerous other American stooges come to mind.

Is that the same as Shaw Cable of Canada?

[EyeBrock]

Shaw? George Bernard? Or did you mean Shawn of the Dead?

You really have no clue do you? I think I'll leave it at that with you.

The Shaw would be a good example of a western viceroy but we are not living in the 1950's anymore. As more nations become modern so to will there be a larger middle class and a stable educated middle class is the best vanguard against terrorism. China's investment in Africa for its constant thirst for resources will help somewhat so the west will not be shouldering the entire burden but the lions share will still be on the west to resolve.

Scape Scape:

the real focus must be on the sharing of wealth on a global scale.

Are you PAYING ATTENTION AT ALL?????????????????????

The Muslims are not attacking us because we are wealthy, you schmutz, they're attacking us because we're NOT MUSLIMS!!!

The Muslims don't give one hairy rats ass about your idiotic class warfare BS you learned in public school.

They want you to convert or they want you to die. For the love of all that is Holy, will you leftist idiots stop trying to reason away the god the Muslims believe in. You can't.

[Scape]

Keep the comments civil. I will not reiterate that warning.

As for the all Muslims comment that is shameless fear mongering. If you want to single out secs of any cult and highlight them as the beacon for the entire religion that says more about ones own person biases then it does about that religion. If this religion was to be banned or persecuted on these grounds then all religious would have to answer to the same standard and they would all fail because they all have their share of fools.

As long as airport security is operated like a McDonalds franchise staffed by disinterested and underpaid workers then incidents like the Detroit landing will keep happening. Airport security should be an arm of the military, just like it is in Israel, where every important step of security checks is staffed by trained military and police personnel, and not by $10/hour shlubs who may or may not actually give a shit about what they're supposed to be doing.

I'll vote in favour of nixing the racial profiling too, but only if it's exchanged for a process of behaviourial profiling where, once again, trained military personnel specializing in picking out abnormal pre-boarding behaviours among passengers is employed (that way we can catch just as many, if not more, nervous lily-white drug-runners as we do nervous terrorists from some boogabooga-land and hopefully keep the human rights folks quiet). Just like they do it in Israel, where the time to get on board your flight from the minute the taxi drops you off at the terminal door to the second the plane's wheels lift off of the ground usually takes less than an hour on average. Damn Jews, you'd think that they'd actually learned something from their own past experiences instead of deliberately ignoring them like North Americans prefer to do.

But it'll never happen. Between the leftwing idiots screaming "racism!" or "union jobs only!" and the rightwing idiots screaming "no more public money socialism!" or "it costs too much!" it'll never pass. Apparently, having a plane full of people blown out of the sky every once in a while will continue to be the price paid for our own collective societal obtuseness towards a crime tht is actually quite preventable., Preventable that is, assuming of course that anyone actually gave a damn about seriously trying to prevent them from happening, instead of ridiculously prefering to yap about the politics of what can and can't be done.

[ridenrain]

If you left out the poltical sermon, I'd have agreed with everything you said.

Trillions have been thrown at the African continent, the result, it's still as poor as ever. China has yet to come to that conclusion.
