Analyzing a a Mideast nuclear war

I have been a smoker of the most feared plant in Australia since the 1970s and Goverments in different states usually have a fairly tolerant approach(except the NT) to its sale and use.Since last June 2007 my usual dealer and 2 others that i used to buy from have given up selling marijuana to deal only in ice and other powder forms as there is more money in it and the Law Enforcement Agencies leave them alone, so they tell me.

Hated?

I am intrigued by the number of times I have seen the Australian media refer to East Timor’s former Prime Minister as the “hated” Mari Alkatiri. It seems that in their rush to put their own spin on the story, they have chosen to ignore the facts. Drawing parallels with John Howard’s standing among many Australians, the Australian media could, if they wanted to, just as easily portray the Australian PM as the “hated” John Howard. I wonder if (he) would have acted any differently to Mari Alkatiri if he found himself in the same situation?

East Timor’s Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri resigned yesterday
amid an unrelenting campaign backed by the Australian government
and media for his ousting. His announcement came less than 24
hours after a meeting of the ruling Fretilin party had refused
to bow to demands by President Xanana Gusmao to sack the “illegal
leadership” of Alkatiri and party president Francisco “Lu-Olu”
Guterres. Gusmao had theatrically threatened to resign if his
demands were not carried out, but backed away over the weekend.

Having established an army of occupation in East Timor, the
Australian government is engaged in ongoing political warfare
on several fronts to ensure its predominance over the half-island.
In the United Nations, Australian diplomats are pressing to ensure
that Canberra retains control over any new UN mission. As part
of this offensive, the Australian media is conducting an unrelenting
campaign against Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri, who is regarded
as too close to rival Portugal and thus an obstacle to Australian
interests.
