If We Cared about Peace We Would Be Talking to Hamas.

Hamas's new charter demonstrates that there's a real possibility for Israel and Hamas to make peace. If you would like negotiations to succeed, it makes no sense to demand more than that as a precondition for starting negotiations. When the US demands more than that from Hamas, and doesn't make similar demands on Israel, it supports Israel's unstated intentions to continue the occupation and siege; to reject peace.

The Tory state contracts with charities to implement state responsibilities to help the poor, but doesn't pay for the costs. The charities need to use other money.

This can't go on much longer. In a year or two, the charities will cease to bid for these contracts. Then the Tories will say, "Oops, there's no money to help the poor, we have to stop!" But there will be no election scheduled for several years, so Britons will be stuck with it.

That's if they are suckers enough to vote for Tories now.

These charities should cancel now to give voters a sign of what they'd choose if they vote Tory.

Trying to explain why do the Tories' victims plan to vote for Tories.

I think politicians that will try to do good things and might fail are preferable to politicians that can be relied on to implement policies that will crush lots of people.

If US intelligence about al-Qa'ida in Yemen is imperfect, the result is to kill lots of the wrong people.

If the members of al-Qa'ida are a tiny fraction of the population, it doesn't take much of an error rate for drone assassinations to kill more bystanders then enemies.

The troll's choice for Deputy Saboteur of the Interior Department is a saboteur indeed: a walking conflict of interest".
