It is! I woke up late this morning, fucking Al Quida, always doing that to me! Someone leapt in front of a train and delayed every single service in and out of Paddington station in London when I was up there the other day. Probably paid by Al Quida to do it. I don't think it's long before politicians will take a look back at the last 50 years of world history and realise Al Quida have in fact been responsible for 80% of the bad things that have happened. The Ethiopian famines? Hell yes it was them! Al Quida jumped into the country, stole all the food and let loose their hundreds of biological attacks against the crops left.

Yes that was pretty silly wasn't it. It's an important point when you can hear embarrassment in the voices of news readers as they are forced to attribute every violent act under the sun to Al Quida. Now I am not stupid. I realise several of these incidents may actually be related. But as far as Governments (yes that's all of them) would have us believe, we are facing an organisation better equipped, funded, organised and motivated than any other in the history of the planet. Like a super-badguy group from a computer game. I'm still waiting for them to begin the construction of Death Star on the dark side of our moon.

Now this is all amusing and merely an annoyance but things get more sinister. I am well versed on the Israeli situation history and keep pretty up to date with it. I am not biased against either side. However it's pretty fucking obvious that the current Israeli administration will do anything to eradicate the Palestinians. Their goal seems to fall somewhere just short of genocide, though I wouldn't put that past them. Now you will hopefully have all noticed that the bastards in charge over there were the first people to leap on the"blame Al Quida" bandwagon and started killing people under that banner within weeks of September 11th. And they continue to use these claims to validate their increasingly more violent actions against the Palestinians and countries harbouring Palestinian fighting groups. They are basically performing horrifying acts under the protection of the Al Quida card.

That's the harsher side to the hilarity. And obviously all of our governments and the UN are doing fuck all about it. In my opinion the UN, supported by the many pointless armies of the world, should be flooding all over Israel and locking the whole fucking hellhole down. Why do the peacekeeping forces never get deployed in what are deemed 1st world countries? Bah. It's a horrible situation. If anyone does anything about it then I shall faint.
