Most of the Libyans are now surely very grateful to the West for bringing them nice and shiny 'democracy'.

You can't say a handful of extremists represent the entire Libyan population. Obviously you could say the same about the Quaddifi regime as well. However, Quaddifi was going to completely level cities that were in opposition of his regime, similar to what had happened in Syria years ago. This is absolutely awful that this is going on though.

Lets review:

Fort Hood Shooting: they more or less refused to call it a terrorist attack.

Attempted Time Square Bombing: A number of commentators prior to the capture of the perp said it probally wasen't a Muslim, and was probally someone against Obamacare or something. Nope it was a Muslim. And a rather incompetent one at that.

I can keep going but I wont.

With my most recent post I wasn't pointing out whether the US or British media treat Muslims with greater sensitivity, obviously the British media treat Muslims with greater sensitivity. This is directly at the thought that the British media, in this case specifically the BBC, does not treat them with as much sensitivity as you suggest.

^ not nice. I learnt the other day that there are TONS of chemical&bacteriological weapons abandoned at a formerly-island-now-peninsule on the Aral Sea... No security, no dismantle programs, no nothing. Just tonnes and tonnes of these weapons lying there, leaking to the ground and ready to be taken for anyone who wants them. THAT is sick.

Old news. Considered posting it here a month or two back, but figured no one on here would care.

The irony is just dumping the ashes in the wood would have been both cheaper, and more respectable.

The Russian are infamous for not paying much attention to there defunct WMDs. Really more frightining than anything else in the world imo.

BTW, for any videogamers on here, yes that is the island from COD:Black Ops.

I completely agree with the Swedish foreign minister on the Russian election.

"This was a skewed election process that was arranged to give a result in this direction, there was no doubt about that." (Translated by me)

The result from Chechnya, a region that is in conflict with Russia:

Putin 99,76

Voter turnout 99,61

Yeah, right.

Just about everything about the whole Russian political system is plainly fucked up.

Yeah, it's not a democracy, it's a hybrid-regime, or maybe even an authoritarian regime.
