Four of the 21/7 would-be bombers of London were sentenced to life imprisonment by a Crown Court. The Jury has asked for a re-trail of the other two suspects. One of these two is a Ghanaian who had allegedly dumped his bomb in a dustbin. I believe he expected to reach home and hear that his compatriots were dead. He will then pocket whatever money was shared and go back to mother Ghana. Or maybe he is really being truthful and didn’t know about the deal until the final moment, when he was asked to wear a back-pack and blow his life, and others, to hell.
Well, which ever way, I believe him for one thing: he never meant to kill himself. Why am I so sure? Because he is a Ghanaian and apart from the select few brave people in my country, the rest of us are cowards...and definitely don’t believe in a paradise for suicide bombers.
Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf was nearly assassinated and Al-Qaeda has issued a warrant for his head. That is after over 70 Pakistani Militants were wiped out at the Red Mosque. I don’t know how the Mosque got its name but it sure has lived up to it. What amazes me most is the question I keep asking myself: What moves men to give up their lives in such fashions? Is living on earth that worthless? I really don't know.
An American report on Iraq said all is not well; as if we need to be told. I don't know how many people watched the Iraq Commission on Channel Four but it was very interesting. It is just great to sit down and discuss dead people as statistics of a report. The worse offenders are actually the United Nations Organisations and the NGOs. It almost makes you want to throw up when people go on and on discussing theories and ‘evidence’ and who knows what. We all know it is a complex situation in Iraq but we definitely don't need analysis and reports. We need a commitment and a feeling for human lives and rights by everyone. People who don't respect that will never find a solution to Iraq.
Have you heard that a British 'former Parish Councillor' has got married to Osama Bin Laden’s son? So what! Has a man not got a right to ply another trade and embrace other friendships different from his father? Why should the fathers eat sour grapes and the children's teeth be set on edge? I hear he is applying for a UK Visa. Now that is a tricky one.
Conrad Black, the once all powerful media tycoon, has been charged with fraud in the US. I feel a bit sorry for him because I hear if he had done it in the UK he will have gone free. Just a poor sense of judgement I think...nothing serious.
King Federer won his fifth Wimbledon title in row. Brilliant work from Nadal anyway! It made me miss the times I watched tennis...I mean in my day-dreams.
