As to Guantanamo Bay - no matter *what* crime a person commits, they are, or should be, entitled to not only a trial, but a fair trial, and to be innocent until proven guilty. Guantanamo Bay does not do this, and no matter how that idiot George W Bush tried to twist things, it violated human rights very badly. Of course, no other country had the balls to stand up to the US and tell them so. That's the sad thing - money and trade are worth far more these days than the right thing.
Tell me Peter - why should US made software bought in Australia, under Australian consumer laws for that matter, be legally allowed to bar me from reselling to say, someone in Iran? The US is nothing but a 200lb bully. Good on Iran and North Korea for standing up to the world bully. I hope they give the US curry.
I'd like to see the UN dumped and a new organisation formed, where veto votes and the member council are dumped and *every* single country, irrespective of GPD, size or population is treated the same votewise. Then we'll see proper sanctions against countries like Israel which continuously break international laws, commit human rights atrocities etc. The arrogance of both the US and Israel is worrying, worse that no other government has the balls to stand up to them.
There, I've been baited to say my bit. Bait taken
