If you read two particular letters in L-orizzont today you can see that this xenophobic message is getting through to the starving masses.

Disgusting

Perhaps Kev could do something useful – like reporting back on casualties from battle zones (no, Kev, not the one in the Brussels suburbs).

What did I say earlier? You’re beholden to the glory days of Mintoff.

Calleja has nothing to say about civilian life under Gaddafi, nor does he venture an opinion about whether Gaddafi should stay or go – though we can surmise he’d agree with the former.

And that, Kev, is a fact.

RENO CALLEJA I used to read your comments on the time magazine when I was in the M navy I always enjoyed your comments with your comments lot of people around the know that there is MALTA thank you RENO.

…and we can also use Ta’ Bighi and Lazzerett, or the Comino… never mind.

But seriously, were there any calls for help in this regard? Perhaps the injured are not as many as they would have us believe.

yor/malta & La Redoute – which part did you miss out? That it’s a fair perspective and mostly factual? Or is it that this blog’s perspective is extreme? And did Reno Calleja not say more than any other local politico?

Please do read and understand the text before releasing your knee-pin. And keep in mind that yours is an extreme (and highly simplistic) view with which not even the allied forces can agree since their objectives differ to yours.

The flare-up in Bahrain is very different to that in North-Africa: an Iran-backed Shiite insurgency against the ruling Sunni monarchy. Whoever said the West should have intervened in Bahrain because it intervened in Libya doesn’t know what he is saying.

Maybe Barroso had a peep at the posts on timesofmalta.com !

I fully concur with you, William Grech. It’s about time historians take on the seventies and eighties. Problem is, when they do attempt to do so, they’re stopped in their tracks. When Henry Frendo’s programme “Storja Minn Wara l-Kwinti” aired on TVM some years ago, was about to deal with the subject, it was dropped.
