THE PRICE OF REWARDING TERRORISM

You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.

ANYONE FOR CRICKET?

DateTuesday, June 24, 2008 at 08:53AM

Wonder what you make of the news that Zimbabwe will play in cricket's World Twenty 20 Cup in England next year - threatening to make a mockery of Gordon Brown's pledge to 'stand up' to Robert Mugabe. Earlier this year, the Prime Minister made clear that he planned to bring in a ban in protest at the tyrant's regime. And as the former British colony sunk further into bloodshed and chaos at the hands of Mugabe's thugs, it was confirmed yesterday that Zimbabwe's team will compete in the cricketing showcase.

Can I say that I think this is a good idea?

Invite the Zimbabwaen cricketeers, and ensure Mugabe himself comes over to Blighty.

Then arrest him, put him on trlal for war crimes, and execute him.

Howzat?

They should be banned like South Africa was banned during those years.

The linked story only says that the lineup for the 20-20 cup will be announced today, not that it has been confirmed. It will be very surprising if there is not at least a question mark over their participation, and I expect that the cricket authorities will leave it open, depending on events in the meantime.

On a more serious note, I think that Tsvangirai's life is in serious danger while he remains in Zimbabwe. He could be lynched at any time.
