destroying 10,000 year old coral is all in a days work for the likes of them.
You're lucky they didn't kill any children too.
'Speaking out against the Vietnam War in 1967, Martin Luther King said, "I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government." Dr. King's words are even more relevant today than when he spoke over four decades ago.'
The above excerpt is from: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-a-love/violence-beg....html
And, with much of the credit for all the global violence in question due to the "Money Power Psychopaths and Whores", and their many puppets, I'd say: including our own in the Republic of Ireland's Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial).

"Film director Brian de Palma has become an expert in voicing people’s frustration with the shortcomings of the US government. RT caught up with the celebrated Hollywood filmmaker and screenwriter to ask him political and apolitical questions."
The above excerpt has come from the following www location:
http://slumz.boxden.com/f5/feb-2-brian-de-palma-rt-iraq...9053/
Some additional excerpts, also from the above www page address, are provided in the section just below:
==============
"I think our foreign policy is incorrect, I don't think we should have been in Iraq at all, I think we were lied to by our government. When you put young boys in situations when they don't know why they are there, it's even worse than Vietnam. Not only are you in a terrible environment, where everybody wants to kill you, and you walk around and suddenly the earth explodes, your best friend's just lost his leg, you detest the people you're supposed to be fighting for and you do crazy things. That's what 'Redacted' is about, and that's what 'Casualties of War' was about. These wars make no sense and crazy things happen."
"Oliver Stone, who wrote the script to one of your best-known films 'Scarface,' said in an interview with RT that Americans are living in an Orwellian state. It might not be oppressive on the surface, but there is no place to hide, eventually some part of you is going to end up in a database somewhere. According to historian Peter Kuznick, the US government intercepts over 1.7 billion messages a day. Are you aware of this?"
"I think the use of torture in the Bigelow movie is very realistic. I don't know why everybody is so surprised or upset. But the fact that you would say that Americans actually torture people was like… impossible. But of course they torture people!"

Article 5 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948):
"No one shall be subjected to TORTURE or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."
The full text of the UN UDHR is available at the following www page address:
http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml#a5
There is some extremely serious "CATCHING UP" to do, regarding basic "human rights law" awareness, in 2013 it would seem?
And, we now need to be VERY "quick about it" (it appears to me at least), if all of the dangerously missed opportunities, in the Republic of Ireland and all (or almost all) other countries of the world, regarding the strongly recommended need for "training and education" (mentioned in the final paragraph of the UDHR Preamble) -- the really mystifying and wholly avoidable missed UDHR "training and education" opportunities (and consequential ignorance of human rights law) adversely affecting three "lost" generations or so of us since 1948, that is -- are ever to be satisfactorily compensated for by "humanity as a whole"?
Correctly or otherwise, it seems to me that "humanity as a whole" needs to VERY rapidly adapt a "Zero-Tolerance" approach to government crime: using human rights law; or, run the rapidly-growing risk of facing a thermonuclear WW3 "situation": allowing for the manner in which the U.S. "love of war", "passion for war", or whatever it is (?), appears to growing more and more out of control: regarding what might yet prove to be an unstoppable "trip" to some kind of "Hell on Earth" scenario?
Ninety minutes or so of international thermonuclear bomb-slinging, about the overall time taken for a football or hurling match, is all it is believed that it would take to destroy civilisation in its present state of development; possibly destroy "humanity as a whole"; and, maybe even permanently destroy all of "Life on Earth", as a whole.
