shorter robert fisk: fuck john howard.

* fisk:

" I can only shake my head in disbelief at the sheer, unadulterated, lazy bullshit - let’s call a spade a spade - which is currently emerging from our great leaders."

and

" In Australia a couple of weeks ago, I found Muslims in Melbourne and Adelaide regaling me with stories of abuse and obscenities in the street. New laws are about to be introduced by Prime Minister John Howard to counter "terror" which will not only allow detention without trial, but also the extension of "sedition" laws which could be used against those (mainly Muslims, of course) who oppose Australia’s preposterous military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Well, count me in, John. I think you live in a great country with great people, but I’m planning to turn up in Adelaide again in the spring to argue against any Western involvement in those two countries, including yours. I look forward to a sedition charge. "

and i'd be happy to be charged alongside mr fisk. it would be an honour. altho i'd probably have to convert to muslimism first. (btw - is it possible to 'convert' from atheism to a religion?)

fuck john howard.
