Self-explanatory, but since you asked, the British government is no more nor less retarded than the American or the Israeli. Maybe they’re all having a contest to see who can do the most self-destructive, idiotic things on the official stationery of their respective countries. It seems so.
Self-explanatory? I don't think so. Care to provide some specifics?
The present story is an example of British stupidity.
State Apologizing for an errant you-tube video knocking Muhamed is an example of American stupidity.
As for Israeli stupidity, I see it outside my window every day. The destruction of hilltop outposts such as Mitzpe Avihai on Hill 18 right outside said window all in the name of a piece process that if consumated along the lines of the Oslo Accord will inevitably lead to war.
Those are all the examples I care to give at this time. It’s late and I have a big day planned. But those readily available through your local wire service are legion.
