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.

Tuesday, August 14, 2007 at 08:41AM The Orang-utans of Borneo are facing an unprecedented threat as their habitat is destroyed to satisfy increasing global demands for bio-fuel.
I urge the Thames Valley Police to deal most forcefully with the hippies currently gathered for a bit of a do at Heathrow Airport. Won't they do it for the orangutans?

The corrupt Indonesian regime and the palm oil plantation gangsters are responsible for the destruction of its rainforest, not the Heathrow protesters.
It is corruption, lack of regulation in capitalism that is the basis for the crisis faced by nature in mans search for fuel. I suppose next up you'll be lobbying supermarkets about cod stock will you?
What is needed is ownership. Jonathan rightly points out that corruption has a large part to play but then suggests only more regulation! If governments are corrupt, which they are, more regulation will only be used for corrupt purposes. If we allow phelanthropists, charities etc to actually own the stuff we'd like saved, then we would have a free and effective market solution. If we prefer having a rainforest to having cheaper wood then let's pay charities to buy the rainforest and protect it just how we want, rather than letting corrupt government pretend/fail to do so in an arbitrary way.

Fair point, but the likes of WWF are already buyting up all they can but corrupt governments will prevent them saving many habitats until their friends have finished plundering them.
It is quite likely that by 2020 tigers, chimpanzees and orang utangs will all be extinct in the wild.
Well if governments are going to stop us I suppose we will have to let this be a lesson as to why we shouldn't give governments that kind of power in the first place :( That or revolt, but somehow I don't see the WWF storming government compounds with AK47s.
