I think that the moraless actions that leaders make = terror  .   Being detained without charge without a lawyer = kidnaping

Spying  , Torturing , mobing , Lieing  , missleading people by withholding facts   99%   . There looking , accusing  ,demanding elcewhere . With this kind of leadership youl only have 2 wait a couple of genorations then its not emoral to do stuff like that . 

So its not crimanal  to make a worm and steal from computers  ?  Is the crimal justice system corupt ?   . Maybe you could get life imprisonment  eg stealing a pack of ciggerets ,  and not able to pay your incarsoration costs . Kill thousands of people and occupy a land  -  ´ over a pre crime idea  - WOW  
 
 The soft sell  morals that are leaders - govenments  give us is more than alarming .If we strive to be like them we will all be terrorists

The anti-semite view is offensive and counter-productive. Some Jewish people honestly believe that all gentiles would turn into Nazis at the drop of a hat. Reading some of this stuff they might have a point; to a very limited extent. Anti-semites are a fringe minority. However there is some lingering resentmen t that many of Wall Street bankers and hedge fundsters are of Jewish descent and offer no apology for destroying the western financial system. "Doing Gods work" CEO of Goldman Sachs LLOYD BLANKFEIN was insulting when there is enough evidence for him to be under lock and key with Bernard Madoff and Dick Fulds of LEHMANS. There is also the small matter of Israel which continues to build illegal settlements in the West Bank and has the nerve to order America to start another war with Iran. Iraq was also an Israeli request to silence SADDAM an active supporter of Palestinians. Jewish people deserve to be treated with respect; like black people. In the case of blacks they may ask why they are stopped by the police in south London but they are responsible for most of the street crime. Thats a fact...most of my family have been mugged by young blacks in London. It is not a fact that all bankers are Jewish fail to apply any moral standards.
