Obama has changed his mind. He no longer wants to bomb Syria into submission, but wants to use troops to attack. Interestingly, he is asking congress to put their stamp on it. He has failed in Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, the peace process with Israel, as well as Syria. Obama began his presidency bowing to King Abdullah, who is now dead, and Obama was lauded with a Nobel Peace Prize, and hosted the jailers of the next years Nobel Laureate. So much hope and change have become ashes for one the US will never vote for President again. It is left to a GOP congress to clean up his mess.
It is apparent Sukumaran and Chan will be executed soon. Julie Bishop spoke movingly in their defence. But the ABC have worked overtime to limit Australia's influence with Indonesia.
A 22 yo girl shot dead by police at West Hoxton' Hungry Jacks (Burger King in the US) suffered from Aspergers Syndrome. The family has thanked those who went to her aid. Hopefully that includes the police. It seems unlikely that Aperger's syndrome was responsible for the incident and one expects drugs to be present in the toxicology report.
Two terrorists arrested before an attempted beheading in Sydney were aiming for people with blonde hair. They did not ask for bail. The prosecutor has said it will take at two weeks for police to list the scale of the intended assault. Both had come to Australia under the previous government's lax border protection arrangements.
On this day in history, 1429, Sir Fastolf successfully defended a supply convoy, but overall he was to lose out to a girl, Joan of Arc, and it would take thirteen years to rehabilitate his career service to England. In 1502, Vasco da Gama set sail from Portugal to India, his second voyage to India. In 1554, Lady Jane Grey was beheaded after having the throne for nine days. Initially, Jane was spared for Treason of having the throne as desired by the previous King, but the Privy Council chose Mary I. After Wyatt's rebellion against Mary, Jane and her husband was executed. She was about seventeen years old. Mary did not prosper. In 1593, Japan invaded Korea and 3000 Koreans defeated 30000 Japanese at the siege of Haengju. In 1689, The Convention Parliament decided James I had abdicated when he fled to France. In 1816, the Teatro di San Carlo, the oldest working opera house in Europe, was destroyed by fire. In 1851, Australia's gold rush began when Edward Hargraves announced that he had found gold in Bathurst, New South Wales. In 1894, Anarchist Émile Henry hurled a bomb into the Cafe Terminus in Paris, France, killing one and wounding 20. Émile was from a family of early French Communists and he just seemed to feel killing people would bring balance to the Force. He was guillotined for his crimes against humanity. In 1924, George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue premiered in NYC with Gershwin on the piano. In 1946, African American United States Armyveteran Isaac Woodard was severely beaten by a South Carolina police officer to the point where he lost his vision in both eyes. The incident later galvanised the Civil Rights Movement and partially inspires Orson Welles' film Touch of Evil. In 1983, one hundred women protested in Lahore, Pakistan against military dictator Zia-ul-Haq's proposed Law of Evidence. The women were tear-gassed, baton-charged and thrown into lock-up. The women were successful in repealing the law. In 1990, Carmen Lawrence became the first female Premier in Australian history when she became Premier of Western Australia. Carmen was a disgrace in position of Premier and forgot why she broke a woman using false testimony, the woman, Penny Easton, suicided. In 1999, United States President Bill Clinton was acquitted by the United States Senate in his impeachment trial. Clinton was a disgrace. Had lied to the US people, had started the second intifada through incompetence, but was a Democrat and that is what Democrats vote for. In 2002, the trial of Slobodan Milošević, the former President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, began at the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, Netherlands. He died four years later before its conclusion, escaping justice.

I don't like sharks. Sharks fin soup is a delicacy, but not one I require as part of my regular diet. I enjoy exercise, but swimming for my life is something I'll pass on. Instead, where sharks get close to human habitats, I support sensible management practices like culling the sharks. However, environmentalists don't agree with me. They prefer training sharks to target people. They get people to swim in cages close to sharks, so sharks learn the scent. Then they throw tasty fish guts into the water, so sharks learn to connect food with the scent of people. Sharks don't like people as food. We don't have enough fat, and we are bony. But until a shark has a meal of a person, it doesn't know. All a shark knows, is that an environmentalist has trained it to like the scent of a person for food. Environmentalists have also campaigned through their international networks to prevent management of sharks near human habitats. According to their rhetoric, one shark killed is all of them. There is difference between a pet and a wild animal.
Speaking of dangerous, wild animals, the ALP have not yet apologised for hurting the building industry with corrupt unions. The dismantling of a safeguard has been measured at a mere 2%, but if you realise that building supports all other industry and a 2% turn around could potentially place Australia in recession over a bad half, and one realises that the ALP have placed Australia in a bad position on several levels. Another who has done Australia no favours is the Corby family. But, look at one who has shamed the US
The US does not have a king. It is in their constitution.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what it's like until they've been there. Keep heart David take care.
