Syd, As I have mentionedSunday, July 17, 2011 @ 11:44PMIn reply to Are These Rebels Our Friends? : Syd, As I have mentioned previously, the intervention in Libya occurred (regardless of ulterior motives) because the Gaddafi regime was deliberately killing civilians. One can apply the same criteria to other interventions - East Timor and Bosnia in particular. One can look at the failure of a lack of intervention - such as in Rwanda. Sometimes ...

I may be a tad oldSunday, July 17, 2011 @ 11:44PMIn reply to Are These Rebels Our Friends? : I may be a tad old fashioned, Lev. I was under the (apparently) outdated illusion, for instance, that the primary document of the UN was its Charter. It gives States considerable rights to protect themselves against violent, foreign-backed insurgents attempting to seize power by force of arms (Article 2.7). For that reason, I’d naively imagined that if ...

Syd, I would suggest thatSunday, July 17, 2011 @ 11:44PMIn reply to Are These Rebels Our Friends? : Syd, I would suggest that you have a look at Article 2.7 a little closer, and especially the statement “but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter VII ”, which deals with the UN Security Council’s allowance to “determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression ...

Dying forests, coral reefs,Wednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : Dying forests, coral reefs, humans, animals etc, get used to it. Soon enough wind, fire and rain will wash the surface clean again. But for now, who will succeed in proposing a comprehensive and integrated plan that works? Liberals alone? no, Labor alone? no Greens and Independents alone? no. “Time passes slowly up here in the mountains”. Huffin ...

Normally I am withWednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : Normally I am with Examinator but this time not - I am with you, PR . While I agree it is worth stopping pollution anywhere in the world, Examinator, we must first do it here - so we know how it’s done - and then do it elsewhere - but with 90% certainty our overseas efforts are effective. Better to be putting in renewable energy plants in ...

WhyAreThereNeverAnyGoodUsernaWednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : WhyAreThereNeverAnyGoodUsernamesLeft 18/07/11 4: 09PM I can’t be sure about this but reading the reports in the ENDS Reports it appears that Cameron et al are planning to achieve their target by enabling off-shoring and not including the transport back to the UK . It stands to reason that a small island with so many people is going to have to ...

Rexy old boy I don’t haveWednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : Rexy old boy I don’t have any goals for anything, I’m simply looking a little wider than my own backyard. As I said it’s all a matter of what is your objective. The *real* problem is that the LCD has a very limited capacity to focus on the reality that issues don’t have have clearly defined impermeable boundaries in that effecting one issue has ...

Ex I struggle to see any ofWednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : Ex I struggle to see any of your comments justifying the inclusion of an international crediting system riddled with skewed incentives, cheating and fraud. Skewed incentives in particular are not ideology or dogma. Their existence is a fact and responsible for god knows how many problems currently facing the world. You preach winding back on our ...

The Carbon Tax We Had To HaveSunday, July 10, 2011 @ 11:02PMIn reply to The Carbon Tax We Had To Have : << Ben Eltham explains why the scheme will work >> Well, he doesn’t really. He explains that it will work inasmuch as it will reduce carbon emissions. But to what extent? If it is only going to reduce them by a tiny amount, with no significant increase in that amount in the coming years, then we just can’t say that it will work. It has to work to the ...
