Today's News is mostly about Egypt. There are only a few countries in that whole region that provide stability. They include Jordan, Egypt, Israel and to some extent Saudi Arabia. As today's front-page points out the Muslim Brotherhood is the group most likely to cause destabilisation in Egypt. A bit more on this later.

"See the university rankings today on www.theaustralian.com.au" go to the website and the word university doesn't appear anywhere on the front page. using their search tag tried "University rankings" still couldn't find it. I must admit the only reason I was looking was to see how low ANU placed though I suspect I would have found it near the top as the most Left supporting university in Australia.

It seems that its hard-pressed to find any addition of a newspaper without at least one barefaced lie concerning climate change. Today it was about the Arctic's melting glaciers. Anybody who has read the literature knows that these don't exist. They would have also seen the satellite shot of the waste dust from China moving north up the coast and impacting that side of the Arctic ice sheet. This effect has of course nothing to do with global warming. The source of the story was The Sunday Times. Amount checking by the editor zero. As a side note any time of tried to point out the inaccuracies in the published material, even when I supplied links to the appropriate scholarly documents, I've been ignored. This has in no way surprise me.

As expected the ANU, or in this case one associate Prof, is not a supporter of a regional processing centre for refugees. Anyone on the Left, with true leftist leanings, wants all processing in Australia. Australia is about the only country on the planet that gives refugees and asylum seekers full access to their court system thereby weakening any case made against illegal immigrants.
It never ceases to amaze me as to the stupidity of those at the top in our legal system. In this case it is about the jailed "boy" smuggler. If you can get access to the photos of the people claiming to be minors just from a visual examination you will be able to find people as old as 30 in this category. You will of course need to have spent some time in Asia to be a spot this easily. For some reason our legal eagles are willing to believe any claim about age. There are multiple methods that can be used to determine age including hip x-rays and other methods. Ironically when these people are caught out on a lie they immediately switch to another approach and the authorities seem to immediately forget that they lied about their age.

Excellent article by Martin Ivens. The key sentence here and one that is almost universally ignored by the West is that Islam (and not just one strand) does not recognise democracy as being legitimate. Everything must only come from the dictates of Allah.

Where is the world or in this case the USA going to realise that Pakistan is not our friend? This latest example of not recognising diplomatic immunity is yet one other case where many within Pakistan don't recognise anything that comes from the world of the infidels. As an aside expect to see Veena Malik either killed or attacked in the near future for daring to challenge the more militant within Pakistan on her right to dress provocatively.

An excellent article from Mirko Bagaric. At least the professors from Deakin University know what they're talking about.
Letters
Good letters from Michael Cunningham, Martin Fitzgerald, Peter Edgar and Des Moore Gowda went. The confusing letter comes from Tory Puglisi concerning the Red Cross and the Salvation Army not constructing roads or railways. Of course the usual batch of anti-Coalition letters are almost mandatory in any newspaper published in Australia. As usual apart from the ad hominem attacks they contain little substance.
It was good to see some of the opinion pieces written in a well-balanced and thoughtful manner today.
The situation to watch in the coming weeks is the one in each of. If militant Islam, i.e. true Islam, is allowed to gain a foothold in Egypt's this will place great pressure on Israel to strengthen its stamps in the region. The chip has a large standing army and one that will be used by followers of Islam to attack Israel at the earliest opportunity. It would also not bode well for the Coptic Christians who live in Egypt. There are diminishing number of countries in the region where anybody following other than the Islamic faith can live for exist with any semblance of peace. Expect any Leftist run Western nation to offer little support if the situation changes.
