Don't change the subject. We both know what it all boils down to.

David, can you change the name of this blog please?

I think "Clueless in Fulham" would be more apt.

Never have I read so much narrow-minded claptrap.

It's like a person riddled with cancer saying, "It's okay, I went to the dentist and had a filling done, I'll live."

You pontificate about a very small part of the world's problems, usually by just agreeing with what a more authoritative person has already written.

You are without original thoughts and ideas.

Your pontifications do not add to debate about problems affecting the globe.

Stick to boring stories about poker and fellow tubs of lard that managed to get their leg over and produce a sprog so that I may consign this blog with all other poker blogs and poker webs(h)ites to the Recycle Bin icon at top left.

Nobody forces you to read this!

The reason I pontificate about this 'very small part of the world's problems' is contained in that Al-Jazeera summary of the 2002 Arab Human Development Report. It states that

the Arab region is the one with the highest proportion of young people anywhere in the world.

and

that it's a region where democracy barely exists.


Add those two facts together and you should see the danger. Well perhaps you don't. I find it very worrying. Failed states tend to export their problems. To me it's the issue of our age, far more important than concerns about the environment or the euro.

"the Arab region is the one with the highest proportion of young people anywhere in the world"

Rabbits will breed excessively too if there is an unusually high amount of resources available to them. They also die off rapidly when the excessive population pressure devours all the resources.

You can bet that when the oil runs out Arabs won't be so shag happy. AIDS crimps Africans. Peak oil will crimp Arabs.

"that it's a region where democracy barely exists"

Can you name anywhere that does have true democracy?

I mean democracies that are not in the pockets of corporations. You live in a corporate society. You have no influence over any political party in this country because big business will slap you down.

It's not for nothing that ex PMs and Presidents end up in companies like the Carlise Group or Halliburton. These organisations and other corporations demand constant economic growth (on a planet with finite resources!!!) and will put into power those who will chant the mantras.

There is no difference between any of the political parties by substance. Only a thin veneer of difference otherwise (heaven forbid!!!) the people will realise that they are in a one-party system after all.

"Failed states tend to export their problems. To me it's the issue of our age, far more important than concerns about the environment or the euro."

Yes, failed states (and systems) do export their problems. And what better way than by fiat currency and armed force.

Your population demographic worries are intertwined with environment and money. You cannot debate one strand of your problem without debating the others. Afterall, it's a lack of Euros and stable environment that forces young Arabs to come here and for 25% of the electorate to "consider" voting BNP.

To the last two annon posters. It is all about Israel with DY. This is what he focusses on. He is a dirty neo con that supports Israel and its fascistic ways. He claimed he used to be "pro Palestibian" till he learned otherwise. What a total load of rubbish. It is Zionist like you that are responsible for people hating Jews. You are a retard that should have been a journalist and worked for Rupert Murdoch.

A message to the normal people. If you really want to find out about the Iraq war and for that matter, the US foreign policy, find out who the people below are. Find out their role and how they are the people who control America with their links to Israel. The rest is easy.

Richard Perle
Paul Wolfowitz
Douglas Feith
Edward Luttwak
Henry Kissinger
Dov Zakheim
Kenneth Adelman
Lewis Libby
Robert Satloff
Elliott Abrams

I could actually go on and on and on. The above are the people who control America and they all are fanatic supporters of Israel.

I will start you off with Richard Perle. He One of Bush's foreign policy advisors, he is the chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. Perle is one of the leading pro-Israeli fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within the administration and now in the media.

Your credibility drops to zero when you include Henry Kissinger in an attack on 'neocons'. Kissinger is the number one example of the so-called 'realist' school of foreign policy. About as far away from being a neo-con as it's possible to be.

It's funny that you go on about Israel. Literally sitting next to me right now is a book I have bought (yet to read) called 'House of Bush, House of Saud'. It alleges that Bush is in the hands of ... a muslim dynasty.

How does he manage it, I wonder.
