Some APEC sanity

APEC is about to get underway in Sydney.

You would thing it is a good thing to have world leaders meeting together and discussing problems, kinda like a mini-UN without all the tinpot dictatorships...but you would be wrong.

Fighting Fire with Fire

The only two things that I am really worried about in this war are Pakistan and laws restricting our freedom of speech. The former, because Taliban and al Qaeda aligned Islamists are increasingly in control of a state with multiple nuclear warheads and launch capability, and the ability to produce between 30 and 80 warheads a year.

The latter is an even bigger worry, because it prevents us from even discussing, let alone doing anything about Pakistan and other growing threats in our own midst. Luckily, the very laws themselves may present a key to overturn them, and to expose in the process the hatred inherent in Islamic ideology.

Update: The First Amendment is being usurped from the American public by the Orwellianly named "Democrats".

Men of No Appearance and a Jooooooo..ess

Carefully documented (for eg. here, here and here) by Tim Blair, and reported by none other than the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH), Men of No Appearance have been hitting the streets of Sydney in rage.
