Peter Lynch was the grandfather who killed himself after being jailed for being rude to a police officer in the Southport riots. Why, asks Laura Perrins, was he convicted in 18 days but Bob Vylan hasn't yet been charged?

Gas is ? or should be ? dirt cheap because it's abundant and easy to extract, store and transport. Only politicians infected with the neo-Malthusian green mind virus make energy expensive, says Ben Pile.

McGuinness and Paisley to meet Bush

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Thursday November 15, 2007 07:20author by paul o toole Report this post to the editors

Hypocracy??

Rev.Ian Paisley and Sinn Fein chief negotiator Martin McGuinness are set to take a trip to the White House to meet GW Bush. President Bush is wanting to meet them to congradulate them on their work for peace and thank them for their help in bringing an end to thirty years of bloodshed.
In this up comming photo oppertunity we can witness the two Ideologies which have seperated Northern Irish politics drawing to a close in front of the worlds press and no doubt GW will cash in on the political currency to be gained from this move and claim some if not all the credit...that is, if there is any credibility to begin with .
If a picture paints a thousand words then this upcomming photo will have much more to say about global events than just politics local to Northern Ireland. If McGuinness can explain his last thirty years involved in a movement which supposedly stood against British imperialist oppression and now with the man who stood at the helm of that oppression Rev. Paisley, toddle off to Washington hand in hand to meet the greatest imperialist the world has to offer at the moment -I would love to hear it.
Is this why they gave up their guns, they've allied with the man with the most guns of them all?. Did the political strain from the Mcartney murder, the Northern Irish Bank raid or the links to the armed struggle in Colombia prove to much to handle given the press coverage and subsequent crippling of Sinn Feins credibility, so they joined up with team Bush?. Is it because he is a willing participant in the 'American global benevolant hagemony' as outlined in the Project for a new American Century?
I wonder what was in it for him and Gerry, to get their pictures taken with Kissinger, the man responsible for turning Central America into a blood bath and prolonging the Viet-Nam war, and who now passes himself off as a peace maker.
I'm left wondering if this is where the Greens got the idea to support the warmongers. Mabey it's just a case of nimby-ism. Once the blood stopped dripping down our door-steps it dosent matter who's blood gets spilled-even if it is us now causing the bloodshed of the innocent as we ready ourselves to destroy another country.
How can those who should have been the most outspoken critics of Bush and Blairs genocide fall silent and then quietly show tacid support.
