funny enough that was front page news unlike the israelis bombing convoys and USA supplying bombs.

Did this get reported Cilla?

<<< CANBERRA, July 29 (Xinhua) -- A group of protestors calling for peace in Middle East kicked, punched and fired projectiles at Australian Prime Minister John Howard's car in Perth, Western Australian, Saturday.

Two were arrested after 200 protestors, many waving Lebanese and Palestinian flags, tried to block Howard's car and clashed violently with police as the prime minister left a hotel, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio.

At a conference held at the hotel, Howard described Hezbollah, which is fighting Israel in southern Lebanon, as "a terrorist organization."

Protest organizer Mar Bucknell criticized Israel for bombing Lebanon's infrastructure, saying "These last two weeks have seen an all out assault on civil society in Lebanon, which seems to me to have nothing to do with Hezbollah." >>>

btw Reuters now reporting that Israel has killed 35 people including 21 children in attack on a building in Qana. Sky has now picked up the story too -

I didn't see the story about Aussie PM but the Israeli bombing made the press today

Not you personally, you understand, but according to UK papers, resident of Arizona are in fear of not one but two serial killers currently on the loose.

Any more details Cilla, or is it just your normal mental-Yank?

all killings have been done by either "the shooter" or the "basaline rapist" (their press names I didn't make them up) last week they say theres only one,now they say theres two again.for some reason he/she mostly shoots people on push bikes hmmmm.anyway its called baseline as its always within 5 mile of Baseline rd which is on the border of Phoenix and Tempe.38 mile from me.I would say its understandable that only people in that area are scared.and yes it'll be another yanky fuckwit.

out here every morning 3 people MINIMUM get killed going to work in crashes.which is much more than their wars and thats just one city,they drive like shit out here.every day in Phoenix theres at least 30 crashes a day (even weekends).I took my test,you come out a parking lot and do 4 right turns that brings you back to where you started.you then go back into parking lot and park in a set of cones and thats it.

... from driving that is !

Had a very slight accident outside Flagstaffe (that's Arizona isn't it?) and we returned to Flagstaffe and reported it to the car hire firm and they swapped the car for us. I filled in a couple of forms and that was it !

About nine months later I got a "summons" to appear at a Court in Phoenix for not reporting an accident (to the police). Apparently (no one told me !) that all accidents have to be reported. I'm probably banned from driving there now.

Which of us has not wanted to kill a cyclist quite frequently ?

yes Flagstaff is a ski resort in Arizona,route 66 goes right through it.thanks for the story as I didn't know you had to report accidents.did you know only 5 year ago this was the murder capitol of the world?then the honour went to South Africa.its now safely back in yank hands to where it all started Detroit.

Yeah especially George Bush on a bike

Yes I did know that Cilla. The "average" murder rate in the USA is appx 17,000 a year (and that figure has been consistent for about 20 years now).

So ... think about this.

In 2001, on Sept 11th appx 2500 people were killed at the WTC, and the Yanks had a fit about it - but they forget that in each and every single year(before and since) they kill SIX TIMES that number themselves !

while you're on about 9/11.every 26 days in America more people die in car crashes than 9/11.thats 35000 a year,so much more than murder.
