Earthquakes, executive orders and shootings.

Wow an earthquake has hit Japan with tsunamis about to hit many of the Pacific Rim countries. It was massive.
The pictures on our TV screens are of apocalyptic proportions. Refineries on fire, a wall of water destroying everything in it's way.
My heart goes out to those that will suffer for the foreseeable future as after shocks will bring about more misery.
Meanwhile in America Obama has done an extraordinary thing. Yesterday he signed an executive order claiming the right to incarcerate persons in Guantanamo bay military prison even after acquittal. No western government ever has claimed this right. Not only is this is a dangerous move as it violates natural law and turns the US constitution on its head it also gives the green light to dictators everywhere to do the same.
Now a deal has been struck between Washington and Riyadh to supply the resistance in Libya with arms the suppression of their own people has started with protesters being fired upon in the eastern region of Saudi. Let us hope it is not too brutal.
The hypocrisy is startling .
God save us all.
