This week I have been thinking of two ...

... people, my father who died aged 42 years and his sister who died last year, 90 years of age, they were twins, today is their birthday.  I wonder how they would make sense of the world today ...

... where the freedoms they fought for are being squandered by an apathetic electorate and politicians devoid of ideas to improve this country of ours .........

... and where, in the Middle East and North Africa tyrants of Syria and Libya who are murdering the citizens of their respective countries, the only crime these people have committed is to ask for the freedoms we take for granted.  In Syria the public expression that calls for democracy has erupted in 11 cities, the tyrannical response from bully boy Assad has been to callously murder people attending funerals of people previously killed by the security forces.  In Libya the current response is to use cluster bombs against women and children, has Gaddafi enough munitions to kill the whole population I wonder ?
