OK but what about the Malta-not-being-used-as-a-military-base bit?

Good second move. Never underestimate the power of denial. I’ll cut it short for you: You and Daphne can deny till kingdom come, but I sniffed your air even before I half-confirmed.

The final confirmation was so blatant it stole all the satisfaction.

Look at the bright side. You’re now back to your rational self and whatever I may say you’re still willywonka. It’s win-win.

[Daphne – Relax, Kevin, and stop imagining things. That’s the problem when you use this website to get involved in one-to-one fights with other people instead of just joining in the discussion, telling us what you think, and accepting what others think.]

Etienne? Who is this Etienne I’m supposed to be kev?

Daphne, you didn’t have to delete the comments to willywonka. It wasn’t as if I’m taking it seriously. I was just playing – teasing him, as you say. I think Etienne deserves a tease or two for being such a prat.

[Daphne – I cannot allow this website to be turned into the equivalent of a bar-room brawl between two people. If you want to carry on arguing, take it elsewhere. It gets boring for everyone else. Incidentally, who is Etienne?]

Do calm down, all of you. Four links is all I pasted. It’s not as if there’s a particular point to make. I am definitely not gloating, if that’s what you think.

A rise in dissenting voices should interest you. Don’t kill the messenger.

“The only real danger is terrorist style attacks against which we are in no more danger than the larger and more powerful countries that are actually doing something about Gaddafi.”

Yes.That is the salient point in the raging debate about Gaddafi’s retribution. He didn’t threaten to fire missiles when he said he’s attack all sea and air traffic. How many times in the past four decades did he launch a military attack?

Right.

And how many times was he directly responsible for terrorist attacks?

Kev voted for Dom Mintoff, Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici, and Alfred Sant. Why would he know anything about democracy and dissenting views?

@C Falzon
Gaddafi did not help Ireland against the British. He helped the IRA. Quite a different matter.

Not one who usually gives a toss about what Kev says but….

Kev’s examples are exactly why I have lost all hope in most politicians. The equivocation is sickening. The fact that Kev is highlighting them for admiration is enlightening. But then again all I have to do is think of a certain Bonici who first says no to EU and then scurries off for a cushy job there thanks to my yes vote.
Oh well the price of democracy!
