You really have to question the stupidity.

American who are angry about Scotlands' decision to release Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed are urging their fellow Americans to boycott Scotland and even the U.K. collectively.

These dirtbags haven't got off their scummy butts to organise a boycott against their own illegal wars. They didn't call for boycott or sanctions against Israel's genocide in Lebanon

Those behind calling for this boycott sicken me because they are such hypocrits.

You're right that America can't afford to lose the only real friend they have so I'd love to see this happen just to watch when the penny drops and they're on their own.

I don't believe that Israel has any troops in either Iraq or Afghanistan but then we all know that the Israel/U.S. special relationship is only in place for as long as America allows Israel to continue it's own brand of Nazism. Israel is already littered with posters showing Obama dressed as an Arab and with the word ni**er often in use when they talk or write about him.

[adamnedsoul]

Indeed.

I have reached the stage where I think America needs some real shocks to put an end to their behaviour. I'd prefer it was done financially but I think it will eventually come in a far nastier package as revenge for their foreign policy.

I think you're right although they do claim to have intelligence involved. I assume that's the same intelligence that came from Israel to tell the U.S. Saddam had WMD. In other words outright lies.

I've seen the Obama racist slurs, and posters. There was also videos on Youtube done by a Jewish guy who interviewed Israelis to show the world their racism but Youtube pulled the videos because they don't want the world to know the truth.

Lol. I love what you've written and as a Brit I say fuck Americans (but only those behind this BS).

They can't afford to make themselves isolated. No one likes a bully. Most of the world has had enough, except for those few who are personally getting something out of kissing American butt.

Let's hope Brits force a troop pull out regardless of whether the boycott gets up much speed. Then let's make sure that the U.S. is prosecuted to the highest degree for all of their war crimes and so much more. I hear that South American countries are already discussing banding together to demand justice and compensation for the crimes the U.S. committed on their soil. Bring it on.

[adamnedsoul]

Lol. I know how you feel.

Absolutely and you know what they say about how you treat people on the way up.

I'd love that to happen because something has to make them stop this. Yeah fingers crossed that they go ahead with it because there must be accountability for all.

[lisayaeger]

It seems they only get worked up when compassion is shown to a man who killed Americans.

Indeed. I've been deliberatly ignoring all of the news around this just because it's so ego/ethno-centric. What that man did was awful, but on such a smaller scale of the things that we've done/are doing around the world every day.

[adamnedsoul]

I can understand that.

What really gets me about this whole idea of only American lives mattering to Americans is how dumb it is. Unless someone is Native American then they are European, African, Asian and so forth and maybe a mix of several. Okay so they might be third, fifth, tenth generation, maybe even more but they are orginally from every corner of the world so why does a life mean more because the person happens to live on a certain piece of land at the time they were murdered? It's some thing that always strikes me as bizarre. I don't understand the logic at all. It reminds me of when there is some kind of disaster, natural or otherwise, and the news in each country aways highlights whether some of 'our own' died or not. Why does it matter where they came from? We should feel sad for a thousand deaths regardless of their nationality.

[lisayaeger]

There is a movie I just saw called The Visitor that takes place post 9/11 in NYC. I think you would enjoy it- it ends sadly, but truly. It shows the difference between "us and them" (none at all!) but in a subtle way.

[adamnedsoul]

It sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye out for it.

[audrich]

The debate has split the country down the middle as regards opinion.. was he really guilty? Was it a frame up? If he was convicted, should the common people judge? Surely the sentence should stand if so? What compassion did he show to the murdered passengers? Etc, etc. It's quite heated.

My view is: so much injustice has gone on for so long. There are rarely totally right and totally wrong sides. At some point, a good person is going to have to stand up and say ENOUGH before we all destroy each other. We, as humanity must turn our back on injustice and murder and LEAD BY EXAMPLE. If we murder this man's fellow men, no wonder he wants to do the same! If we show humanity and compassion, then perhaps by example or even shame, others may follow.

Wow. Imagine what the world would be like if more followed The Scottish National Party administration's decision?

I also happen to think Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi was framed, but all this is just my opinion!

Oh and one more thing: Mr Brown said he had no role in the Scottish Government's

[gaias_realm]

Incredible. This is so fantastically written and I agree with everything you've written to the point where I will tell Adam that you've already expressed my opinion for me. :0)

[audrich]

Crumbs thank you *blushes*

No-one has ever said that about anything I write politically - I usually get lambasted!

[adamnedsoul]

I can understand the strength of feeling but I worry about those who have no compassion. I think they tend to be the same people who would like to bring back hanging.

Beautifully put and I agree wholeheartedly. If enough good people lit the way this planet could be heaven.

Indeed and I'd love a world like that.

I agree. I think it is highly likely he was framed. He's just the fall guy but even if we're wrong and he had some part in it there are those higher up who are far more guilty than he.

Brown really is a disgrace but at least I believe he will struggle with guilt over the things he has done and hasn't done in a way that Blair never will.

Don't apologise because I love to hear your opinions and even more so when you have lots to say. x

[gaias_realm]

See Audrich's reply because that's how I feel too. We can't go around the world killing Muslims and others and then expecting them to love us in return. I'm not religious as you know but I think "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" fits the bill.

[adamnedsoul]

See my reply to Aud for your reply. :-p

I couldn't agree more. I get so pissed off with people who seem to believe that we can invade other countries and get away scot free, or that we can stay silent while Israel commit genocide and not feel some of their pain. It is time that the warmongers on this planet were stopped so that the peaceful majority could live in harmony.

[lisayaeger]

You're safe, because that's not even in the bible- it's just The Golden Rule! And it's a good one for us all.
