Mr Alireza Forghani, Khamenei’s strategy specialist must of course be speaking for the Government of Iran and Ayatollah Khamenei when he puts in his website the Ayatollah’s “legal and religious justification for killing all Jews and annihilating Israel”.

You would like to believe that this threat is true. It would give Israel the excuse for taking the pre-emptive strike that you say it needs to do to secure Israel. You have to build a case for that dastardly act.

Between Iran and Israel, I believe Israel is more likely to carry out its threat. You have a record for doing this.

2. Tentulah Anwar tahu bahawa lapok dan ketinggalan zaman, bagi orang Barat bermakna tidak seperti apa yang terdapat di Barat sekarang. Sejak revolusi Perancis, slogan Liberte`, Egalite`, Fraternite`, iaitu Kebebasan, Persamaan dan Persaudaraan menghantui fikiran Barat sehingga apa sahaja yang tidak menepati slogan ini mesti ditukar atau dihapus.

3. Oleh kerana BBC bertanya berkenaan kes liwat Anwar, maka undang-undang yang didakwa jumud oleh Anwar tentulah berkenaan larangan terhadap hubungan seks di luar nikah.

2. Proton was known for its cheap cars. The assumption is that it can never produce cars of quality as represented by European, Japanese and even Korean cars.

3. The people at Proton are unhappy over this reputation. They feel it is wrong to think that they cannot produce high end cars. It is just that the company policy was to produce run-of-the-mill cars. The Malaysian public expect Malaysian cars to be cheap. Cheap cars just cannot have the quality and the features of the more costly imports.

2. Four European countries including United Kingdom and Italy have debts of more than 1 trillion dollars.

3. The Governor of the Bank of England has advised printing money to overcome Britain’s financial crisis. This is a great idea. When you lose money just print money to make up for the losses. The United States had printed 300 billion USD to bail out banks and overcome the crisis.

2. Despite the efforts of the learned judges there are still huge backlogs of cases of all kinds, civil and criminal, which probably will never be heard, much less adjudged. This is because the hearings take such a long time that the parties to the cases would have forgotten the facts or they would have died.

3. And, as they say, “justice delayed is justice denied”.

2. The question is whether the tunnel can provide for this volume of traffic. An eight-lane tunnel would have to be very wide or it will need two tunnels. Even if it is a double-decker like the Smart Tunnel in Kuala Lumpur, it needs to be very tall especially as it must cater for the heavy vehicles with their containers etc.

3. Because it will be far below the sea-bed it will have to begin and end far inland as lorries and trucks need gentle gradients. It can be as far as four kilometres for both ends. This, together with the undersea part will stretch the tunnel to almost eight kilometres.
