From the United Kingdom comes a different viewpoint on the never ending terror threats. Thanks to the famous British writer, actor and tall person John Cleese:
ALERTS TO TERROR THREATS IN 2011 EUROPE - BY JOHN CLEESE
"The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from 'Miffed' to 'Peeved' or even 'A Bit Cross'. The English have not been 'A Bit Cross' since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from 'Tiresome' to 'A Bloody Nuisance'. The last time the British issued a 'Bloody Nuisance' warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from 'Pissed Off' to 'Let's get the Bastards' . They don't have other threat levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from 'Run' to 'Hide'. The only two higher levels in France are 'Collaborate' and 'Surrender'. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from 'Shout Loudly and Excitedly' to 'Elaborate Military Posturing'. Two more levels remain 'Ineffective Combat Operations' and 'Change Sides'.
The Germans have increased their alert state from 'Disdainful Arrogance' to 'Dress in Uniforms and Sing Marching Songs'. They also have two higher levels: 'Invade a Neighbor' and 'Lose'.
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile has raised its security level from 'No worries' to 'She'll be alright, Mate'. Two more escalation levels remain: 'Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend' and 'The barbie is canceled'. So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level." John Cleese.
Well what can one say, John Cleese gives it to everyone, starting out with his fellow Brits. The truth is of course their is just a small element of truth in all this based on the non-decisions and wimpy behaviour of these Governments in recent years.
Good Watch.
Please remember the seafarers held captive by pirates off Somalia - let us work with India to free them.
