A truely sad day for all Dutch
Today movie maker, columnist and chain-smoker Theo van Gogh was murdered He was known and feared for his strong critizism and his blunt and harsh statements that he spewed when ever he got the chance. Often shocking his "opponenents" Van Gogh had a very stong opinion about the way muslims-funtamentalists suppress women and how they condem gays. In an ultimate attempt to shut him up, he was brutally excecuted in Amsterdam this morning. He was shot 6 times and then a letter was pinned to his dead body with 2 knives The killer was captured after a shoot-out with the police. He is an immigrant from Marocco and aparently a muslim-extremist. Van Gogh paid the ultimate price for what he believed in the most: the freedom of speech |

With Libya, 20 years of International sanctions had ground his country's economy to dust including his oil revenues soo he became a good boy to end that. Now money is pouring back into his county and his oil industry is being repaired/updated.
Read the 1999 book "Blowback-The Costs of Consequences of American Empire" "Blowback is simply another way of saying that a nation reaps what is sows. Our national experience is seldom imagined in such terms because so much of what the managers of the American empire have sown has been kept secret." Going around kicking ass works for a little while until you piss off everyone around you and they gang up on you and really kick your ass. At the moment the Sudan is laughing at any attemps by the US for peace. What are we gonna do, send troops! There aren't any left to send..so pretty idle threats. If you don't think this Iraq war is all about the control of oil, what is it about then? Some stupid revenge of GW Bush, gimme a break. Geoff |
