Well, he has "starred" in several of the novels, but still I can see that the joke is wearing a bit thin now so perhaps he should either be developed much further or killed off.
They would use the English units like miles, as God intended.
English units? Not anymore. Bloody government are trying to force metric on everyone. Who honestly feels comfortable with measuring their height in metres and their weight in kilos? Sheesh.
The death penalty is never justified. Ever. It's still murder, nomatter what the victim has done. And besides, Japan may have killed thousands over a few years of war, but you lot must've killed just as many in a split-second in 1945...
Having said that, I'm on the American's side when it comes to these terrorist attacks, but only because I can't condone genocide nomatter what nation it happens in - I do not believe that America is a "great nation" in any way, shape or form.
has been talking about how terrorism is "the new evil". Is it really? I thought we'd had this kind of "terrorism" for centuries, only we called it war. During WW2, each side killed millions of civilians through bombing campaigns, simply because they disagreed with the German/Allied political system. I realise that that wasn't during peace time, but surely it's still the same thing? And the Americans + USSR seemed quite ready to press the Big Red Button at any moment during the Cold War, nomatter how large the civilian casualties were.
I wouldn't put it past him, to be honest. He'll want to be seen to be strong and in control. I just hope he doesn't take it too far. Worse than Pearl Harbour? If Pearl Harbour started the most catastrophic war in history, imagine what this could do if it gets out of hand...
