Amazon 7 #379 June 16, 2010 Hmmmm I did not know it was the stated policy of the IRA to murder all the English on the island and drive all protestants into the sea. Not a bad idea I guess.. considering the ethnic cleansing the English committed over and over against the Irish people for what.... 1000 years or so??

sundevil777 102 #380 June 16, 2010 Quotesounds like you support these ruthless terrorists... I had sympathy for their cause, but no support for their tactics. The point was that England was able to let go another part of their empire without having to fear that the future relations with that neighbor would continue in a state of war.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

dreamdancer 0 #381 June 17, 2010 the siege is breached... QuoteIsrael will ease much of its land blockade of the Gaza Strip, it was revealed today. The Israeli government is hoping to silence growing international criticism following the assault on a flotilla of aid ships bound for Gaza in which nine activists were killed. A statement from the office of the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, said Israeli leaders decided today to expand the number of products Israel will allow into Gaza, including construction materials. The naval blockade will remain. "It was agreed to liberalise the system by which civilian goods enter Gaza [and] expand the inflow of materials for civilian projects that are under international supervision," the statement, which did not specify any product list, read. The new arrangements, decided upon in a series of meetings between the Middle East Quartet envoy, Tony Blair, and Netanyahu, are expected to cover three areas: • A list of prohibited goods not allowed into Gaza, replacing the current system of a list of approved goods • Agreement to allow construction materials for UN-sponsored projects • Israel to consider allowing EU monitors to be stationed at crossings between Israel and Gaza An Israeli military official told the Associated Press that all foods would be freely let in to Gaza with immediate effect. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/17/israel-to-ease-gaza-blockadestay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
