COMEDY RELIEF WITH DR STUPID
Dear old Chris Sheil. He just can’t help himself:
Last I heard it was at least 30-something dead and thousands insured. Very grim, etc.
Well, not really. Not so long as they were insured. Very forward-thinking of them. More Sheilisms here; he hasn’t been this concerned about a bombing since last year’s attack on the Australian embassy in Jakarta upset Labor’s election campaign:
Bugger! Just when Jack needed a circuit-breaker, along comes JI. Among the shocking things about terrorists, I include their timing.
Always looking at the big picture, isn’t he?
Last I heard it was at least 30-something dead and thousands insured. Very grim, etc.
I could ignore the “insured” part; the “S” key is awfully close to the “J” key.
But as for “etc.”, why not throw a “blah, blah, blah” on there just to show how little this asswipe cares; how his comments are nothing more than meaningless drivel to make himself feel good?
Oh, and your 2nd link throws an error, and there’s no trace of that post on the main page—almost as if they were trying to hide something…
He’s a brilliant world-weary ‘intellectual’! There’s no time for statements of sympathy in the breakneck fast-paced world of academic posturing! Gogogogo!
(By the way, do you Aussies always write ‘sterling’ as ‘stirling’, or is Sheil getting lucre mixed up with types of thermodynamic cycles again?)
Posted by Crispytoast on 2005 07 07 at 09:50 PM • permalinkA web page at the UNSW says that Dr Christopher Sheil (a Visiting Research Fellow, School of History) is:
“A graduate of UNSW, BA(Hons), 1979, and awarded a PhD in history by the University of Wollongong in 1989, Christopher Sheil has served as a senior policy official under many Labor and Coalition governments, serving on numerous cabinet and national policy committees, including the 1990-91 Special Premiers’ Conferences. A columnist for the Australian Financial Review and an executive member of the Evatt Foundation, he also holds adjunct appointments with the University of Sydney and Boston University, and is the author, contributing author or editor of over 130 publications, including: Globalisation: Australian Impacts (ed) (UNSW Press, 2001), Water’s Fall: Running the Risks with Economic Rationalism (Pluto Press, 2000), War on the Wharves: A Cartoon History (Pluto Press, 1998), and Turning Point: The State of Australia (ed) (Allen & Unwin, 1997). His major current area of research is the Easter 1998 Australian waterfront dispute.”
Is he the guy from Crete? Is it possible?I think it’s worth preserving Chris Sheil’s comments in full for posterity.
Last I heard it was at least 30-something dead and thousands insured. Very grim, etc.
Tet? Black humourist, Donald Rumsfeld, might say this is only to be expected as we win the war on terror.
All sympathy to the victims, of course.
The so-called ‘war against terror’ is obviously going swimmingly. Mission accomplished anyone?
These were his immediate reactions, right at or near the top of the comment thread in each case.
The compassionate Left—what would we do without them?

Posted by Susan Norton on 2005 07 08 at 12:08 AM • permalinkValuable advice for London Moslems on how to cope with this tragedy:-
Someone mentioned that sisters in hijabs (and brothers with beards for that matter) should be careful. Can I say that if you are on the end of any racial/religious abuse, report it to the police no matter how insignificant YOU may think it is. Racial “verbals” are considered a signal crime, i.e, the bring attention to community tensions.Nice to see they have their priorities.
They also seem to have inside knowledge on who’s responsible:-
Israelis ,, mm i rest my case.. why is they always have this knowledge.. why.. first..
But follow this sagacity, and you will be protected…or something:-
i coulc called conspiracy theory or the Dajjalic forces playing there little games its all the same, the Muslims will suffer everytime when one of these things happen and we all know that until they have people in a state of Fear which is what is dajjal and his army are upto. the time is close and these areother events will plague the ummah into a big fitna.
So protect each Soul with your Wird/ Dhikr that your Shaykhs have given you, its best to Read Hizbul Bahr of Aul hasn Shadhili in these times or Dua Nasiri.But in the end, at least they care:-
Boom!
Bomb attack in… Islamic terrorist group Blah Blah Blah posted a message on Blah Blah website claiming responsibility.
The end.
At least local converts are bringing some balance and reason to the string:-
first of all, I pray to Allah that may Allah by His infinite mercy and wisdom show us all the right path. I don’t mean to stir any anger here, but I think you all need to hear this.
I think you all are a bunch of hypocrites (munafiqun) hiding behind your worldly comforts. I never once hear sympaythies and duas for our muslim brothers who are mercilessly being butchered by their 500 lbs bombs that are targeted on innocent human lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Immediately I see threads of ‘sisters stay indoor because you wear a hijab’. Who are you afraid of? You are all servants of the rulers of the lands and are subdued by their materialisms and power. One should only fear Allah and no one else. I think it is totally legit in Islam to strike back if your enemy enter your homes and drives you out. You need to go to your enemy. Agree innocent victims should not be hurt. But it really is an eye for an eye isn’t it. We are living in tough times and it is Allahs land we live in and should only fear Him. Wake up people.

07.07.2005I’d be checking Dicks boots for wicks, just quietly.
All this and more from this site.
This is a bit OM but it’s a bit of relef. From the British Daily telegraph’s wonderful “Peter Simple”
Mystery intruder
When John African Debt Relief Climate Change Greenpeace, 27, otherwise John Smith, 27, no fixed address, appeared at Nerdley magistrate’s court charged with loitering with intent to commit a felony, he asked for 12,346 similar charges to be taken into consideration.Detective Sergeant J B MacKenzie, 39, of Nerdley Special Branch stated that he was proceeding along Kandahar Road on the morning of June 26 on a routine search for certain substances, when he saw the accused peering into a hole in the wall and poking it with what appeared to be a home-made galvanometer.
Asked what he was doing, the accused wheeled round and stated: “I am testing the environment for traces of carbon monoxide and greenhouse gas emissions.
“And if you knew your duty, you would be helping me in this vital task, instead of wasting your time pretending to be a policeman. Why aren’t you fighting global warming? With every minute you waste, hundreds of thousands of Africans are starving to death, the Antarctic Ice Cap is melting and the Amazonian rainforests are disappearing. Why aren’t you doing your duty helping us to save the planet? You should be ashamed of yourself.”
Accused (whose breath smelt strongly of newsprint) then poked him (Sergeant MacKenzie) in the chest, causing minor damage to the notebook and ballpoint pen. He (Sergeant MacKenzie) then charged him with assault and arrested him. Taken to Balaclava Road police station, accused, whose eyes were unnaturally dilated, gave an impromptu performance of rock music, supplying the instrumental parts himself and repeatedly declaring that he meant to save the planet come what may.
Giving evidence, Dr F Gestaltvogel, Chief Consultant Psychiatrist at Nerdley General Hospital, stated that every day in his clinic he was meeting these cases. He had found that a reactive treatment gave the best results. By this, the patient was shown life-sized photographs of famous rock musicians and, if necessary, films of millionaires prominent in the pop music industry. If this treatment proved inappropriate, euthanasia was available.
Binding the accused over, Dr Ellis Goth-Jones, 59, the chairman, said he had every sympathy with the accused’s ideals and hoped he would succeed in saving Africa from starvation and the planet from ruin. At the same time, there were dangers in over-enthusiasm, even in a good cause. But he did not think that more artificial ski runs for pensioners in motorway service areas were necessarily the answer.

Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 07 08 at 06:17 AM • permalinkThey paid me to get my doctorate Craig. We have scholarships here.
It is madness to take a passing blog comment as embodying my response to the London bombing. I have as much sympathy for the victims and their friends and rellies as anyone. Moreover, I am also suddenly made increasingly concerned for other potential targets of terrorism, namely me and my friends and rellies. Sure, there will be an investigation to go through, and lots of debate etc; but in the meantime, don’t any of you guys have even the smallest worry that the present anti-terrorist strategy doesn’t appear to be going real well?
CS the anti terrorist strategies will continue until the terrorists have been stopped - and that wont properly happen until the muslim religion undergoes a reformation and extreme elements are eliminated. Until that time the free world will continue to resist and prevent where possible terrorist murders .
Egypt, not an obvious member of the ‘coalition’ has now lost its envoy to a terrorist execution, how has their anti-terrorist strategy failed?
Must be nice to feel you’re such an expert rog2. Hate to tell you this ol’ son, but the present strategies will continue only while the governments and their constituencies think they are working, a question suddenly of great interest, to me at least. How many bombings would you consider acceptable, before you conclude the present ‘war on terror’ is a failure?
Sorry, I don’t know what the full story is with Egypt. I’m not an expert; merely an alarmed citizen.
And btw Michael42, I’m not ‘little’. You’re talking to a former rugby lock-forward.
Chris, it isn’t so much your inability to spell common words correctly, or your misuse of the terms that you mis-spell that is sad. The first just indicates a low level of literacy, and merely leaves me wondering about the waste of my taxes in funding your doctorate when you your literacy level is at about Year 10 level.
The second merely indicates that you conduct your political discourse at the juvenile level of silly name-calling. For that, of course, you expose yourself to ridicule, but that is really your problem.
What is sad is your lack of judgment. You have posted on more than one site what can only be described as inflammatory comments about the London bombings even while the bodies of those killed in them have not been recovered, and when others have counseled more circumspection and consideration in the circumstances you have disparaged them. People with common-sense would have, if they posted comments like yours yesterday and today, framed them more thoughtfully and not made them in such a puerile manner. From the date given for your BA (Hons) degree, you must be at least in your late forties. Isn’t it time for you to grow up?
Your potted CV, above, states that you have served as a senior policy official under many Labor and Coalition governments, and also that you are an executive member of the Labor Party’s “think-tank’, the Evatt Foundation. I really wonder, given your obvious lack of judgment, why any of those people would have bothered to take you seriously.
On your question;
‘don’t any of you guys have even the smallest worry that the present anti-terrorist strategy doesn’t appear to be going real well?’
any sensible person would be concerned when at terrorist event occurs, but equally any sensible person would accept that there will be reverses along the way, and that is the price to be paid in pursuing a strategy to bring the terrorist attacks to an end. I have nowhere seen any contribution from you that have suggested a credible, thought-out alternative that shows any serious comprehension of the issues involved that have shaped the anti-terror strategy.How many bombings would you consider acceptable, before you conclude the present ‘war on terror’ is a failure?
Yes, let’s just go back to not doing anything about global terrorism at all, because that had worked so well before.
Yes, strawman…your actual comments make even less sense though. If poverty breeds terrorism as you and others of your ilk say, why are you in favour of the continued throwing of money at the third world when that has been shown to be completely useless in alleviating poverty? Most here think your premise is complete bunk, but even if taking it as given, I’m forced to conclude that you don’t even understand your own argument. Or you’re so far into la-la land that you’d deny the fact that copious aid money hasn’t done a lick towards improving the third world.
Anybody can make spelling errors Tempo, even you I see. And if you want to see an example of someone operating “at the juvenile level of silly name-calling”, check the title of this post.
I posted v. brief comments on two blogs as expressions of anger at the apparent progress of the “war on terror”. If getting angry is a sin, convict me by all means
As for the alternative, if you go to Back Pages I’m sure you will find posts that suggest the Iraq war is a sideshow at best and counter-productive at worst, and a superior strategy may have been to maximise international co-operation in police action to bring the terrorists to book, combined with programs (particularly education programs) that may have the potential to isolate the criminals in their communities.
So when you wrote “Brian’s right” as quoted here, you weren’t agreeing with Bahnisch’s diatribe about how terrorism is caused by not doing enough about “resolving the structural violence that is wrought by reversible Western policies towards the poor”?
What was Chris’s doctorate in? Not something which required the production of evidence surely? Maybe it was like Gar Alperovitz and he was just awarded it because noobody knew what he was talking about.
Anyway, has anyone been following Loewenstein. His page is hilarious. Most comments are slagging him off. I wonder what it is like to feel so unpopular? Still with Fisk for a friend…And btw Michael42, I’m not ‘little’. You’re talking to a former rugby lock-forward.
pffffffttt Who for? The Newtown-East Drama Club?
And btw Michael42, I’m not ‘little’. You’re talking to a former rugby lock-forward.
He was talking about dick size, idiot.
Posted by Young and Free on 2005 07 08 at 10:05 AM • permalinkChris,
If there is a spelling error in my post then you can blame Microsoft Word, as I spell-checked it. With your level of spelling ability, I doubt you’d be able to spot a spelling error anyway.(As an aside, I am still grappling with the idea that some-one can get a PhD in history and not know that Cretan is the term for people from Crete, and the adjective pertaining to Crete. Clearly, you didn’t get it in ancient or modern European history.)
As for your comment about your posts on Back Pages, you have succinctly made my case that nowhere have you suggested a credible, thought-out alternative that shows any serious comprehension of the issues involved that have shaped the anti-terror strategy.
The current Islamic extremist movement has deep roots, going back at least to 18th century Arabia and 19th century Egypt.
Terrorist acts by Islamic groups pre-date the invasion of Iraq; vis WTC bombing 1993, Jakarta churches bombing Christmas 2000, USS Cole bombing, WTC bombing 2001, Bali bombing etc.The anti-terror strategy includes international co-operation in police action and programs that may have the potential to isolate the criminals in their communities.
However it is not surprising, to any sensible person at least, that a serious strategy to tackle the problem which is only four years old will suffer early set-backs. In fact, it is facile to think that it would be otherwise.
As to your angry posts, no, Chris, that’s not a sin. It is, as I said, a puerile lack of judgment. I have suggested not that you repent, but that you grow up.
Former?
Well, yes, after that girl kept beating him to the ball…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 07 08 at 10:28 AM • permalinkTempo, in summary you’re wrong.
How do you know Young and Free? You looking for a date?
Nic, Eastern Suburbs chum.
PW, you are making a rash of loose assumptions. First, Brian’s statement is not necessarily about causes, but a direction for helping with the possible cure. The role of poverty is complex, and, as I say, it seems to me that the main task is to assist with education programs. I also tend to think trade policies may have a role to play, but there is much more to be said on this topic, and I’ve already lent tim’s site a fair degree of intellectual credibility in exchange for his generous publicity. The main point is that the strategy of combining concentrated international police action with programs that aim to isolate terrorists from sympathetic communities strikes me as sound. On the other side, so to speak, one of the big problems with the Iraq approach is that it has basically snared the world’s most powerful military forces - if big trouble breaks out elswhere, I’m told the only option will be the draft.
Chris, from your last post:
Tempo in summary your’re wrongUsually a summary is preceded by an argument, which you have failed to provide. I can only conclude that that’s because you don’t have one.
How do you know Young and Free? You looking for a date?
Where have I mentioned “Young and Free”, (whatever that is), and what is its relevance?
And no, I don’t want a date. You’ll have to go to a singles site, and not this one, if you want to start propositioning people.
I guess I’ll have to add weirdness to puerility as among your attributes.
And btw Michael42, I’m not ‘little’. You’re talking to a former rugby lock-forward.
With few exceptions the left has so far resisted the temptation to use this tragedy to bash the war on terror. I’m sure they will eventually, but for now, most have had the decency to wait. You are one of the exceptions.
Your consistently poor predictions and invariably flimsy arguments have made you the butt of more than the occasional joke, but this rush to clamber over the dead to try and make it evidence of the failure of the war on terror puts you fairly and squarely in the ‘little man’ category.
First, Brian’s statement is not necessarily about causes, but a direction for helping with the possible cure.
How like a weasel. For those without reading comprehension difficulties, Brian’s statement was clearly about causes, and quite specifically about poverty. You said ‘Brian’s right’. Two words, without any further explanation. Your own fault for being unclear.
The main point is that the strategy of combining concentrated international police action with programs that aim to isolate terrorists from sympathetic communities strikes me as sound.
Even in your most deliriously optimistic moments, I hope you realize that would’ve been zero percent effective in Afghanistan. In fact, I can’t see how any ‘education’ program would’ve had a shorter timeline for any sort of concrete results than the education program which is the current strategy of direct involvement. Or do you not think Afghanistan and Iraq are lessons?
On the other side, so to speak, one of the big problems with the Iraq approach is that it has basically snared the world’s most powerful military forces - if big trouble breaks out elswhere, I’m told the only option will be the draft.
Define big trouble. I mean, some of us consider Islamist terrorism big trouble. Some of us considered Saddam Hussein big trouble. What’s your definition? China into Taiwan?
In summary, Chris, you’re wrong.
Posted by Crispytoast on 2005 07 08 at 12:57 PM • permalinkWheee, good thing I saw the hair-splitting coming a mile away (so predictable, really) and went to do something else the last couple of hours, although I’m quite stunned Chris actually went through with a “sure, A may not actually be a cause of B, but I’m still correct in suggesting that A needs to be dealt with in order to fix B” argument.
I suggest remedial classes in understanding the cause/symptom dichotomy, or perhaps a refresher course on the difference between correlation and causation. Is terrorism primarily a problem in poor countries? Yes. Is it because they’re poor? No. It’s because of what makes them poor, namely totalitarian regimes, corruption, oppressive religious systems, etc. Live8-ish calls for addressing poverty without acknowledging this reality deserve all the scorn they get, as does yours and Bahnisch’s.
It’s one of the great ironies of today’s geopolitical situation that it’s the people most likely to talk about root causes who are altogether unable to figure out what causes terrorism.
Wow, the draft, haven’t heard saying it’ll be back before.
Posted by Aging Gamer on 2005 07 08 at 01:47 PM • permalinkAm I totally wrong is assuming (I know, I know) from reading cs’s posts here that his basic answer to terrorist attacks is therapy for the supposed terrorists and for him to go to his basement, to the SW corner, bend over, put his head between his knees, and kiss his arse goodbye?
Basically, we just ought to take it until they come to their senses because we’ve quit resisting?
Posted by JorgXMcKie on 2005 07 08 at 03:34 PM • permalinkThe pathetic attempts by ‘cs’ to make sense out of his earlier comments only serve to further strand him in a ‘quagmire’. I’m particularly struck by this line: “one of the big problems with the Iraq approach is that it has basically snared the world’s most powerful military forces - if big trouble breaks out elswhere, I’m told the only option will be the draft.” Since when is the availability of the armed forces of the United States anyone’s business but the United States? What happened to the UN? Please understand that I appreciate the efforts by the armed forces and peoples of Australia and Britain. However, where do you think you have the right to whine about the best use of American forces? Save your invective for those countries that have donated little or nothing. Mark Steyn noted that the EU grudingly provided the use of nine helicopters in Afghanistan, temporarily. Try complaining to them that forces levels aren’t where you want them to be, and engaged where you wish. Until then, leave off of troops that you don’t support. Also: As an American, I am sick of that canard of a draft. It’s been a lie from the day that the rumors started, and the MSM here fed it throughout the campaign. Despite their best efforts, Bush won. The people don’t want it, the US military doesn’t want it, and the President doesn’t seem to want it. If you’re so interested in freeing up US troops, volunteer for duty in Korea. Until then, shut up.
If I understand CS’s direction, he is saying that the latest bombings are proof that the war on terror isnt working.
He suggests that an International police force combined with educational programs would be far more effective.
The fact that apart from Interpol no International policing force exists and it is hard enough to get international agreement on the most trivial of issues is a problem.
Educational programs to countries such as Afghanistan (taliban) Saudi Arabia (wahabists) Libya (Gaddafi) Syria (Assad) Iraq (Saddam) would have been futile without the co-operation of the rulers.
You can only use what you have not what you might have and the military option is the only one available. Perhaps in the future smaller more highly trained specialist units combined with trained and armed ‘peacekeepers’ will be more effective but that would be in the future.
Wars on not won on battles alone and history is littered with the bones of conquerors who eventually lost. This current war may last 15 years.
Love & kisses (*winks* at Michael42)
Oh please, acting all unaffected by criticism doesn’t work anymore Chris, people know you well enough to see that when stung by clearly deserved criticism, you react the same way almost every time - you spend hours trying to claw back a semblance of dignity by arguing down to the tiniest semantic, by trying to be condescending, by continuing to argue a point even when its been thoroughly discounted.
And then of course there’s the airy ‘toodles guys gotta go now’ style of retreat to make it all seem like fun and water of a ducks back.
For someone who constantly tries to parade his intellectualism, it’s amazing you don’t realise just how transparent you are to everyone else (and how easily it is to bait you).This calls for a moderate snigger followed by a discreet sneer.
How about a spray of beer and gales of derisive laughter, Bruce?

cs is whining because President Bush didn’t call him before invading Iraq, of course. Clearly, chris has the Right Ideas here.
/sarcasm
chris, having read through this thread, it’s pretty clear that you’ve been trying to cover your butt after your incredibly insensitive but highly revealing comment (”Last I heard it was at least 30-something dead and thousands insured. Very grim, etc”).
All of your posturing can summed up as pure crap. You’ve done everything you can to misdirect the conversation away from the fact that you tried to score cheap political points by clambering over the dead (to use a phrase someone here used earlier).
Heck, you even used a non-existant spelling error as a reason not to answer a direct question! How juvenile that was.
Earlier, you stated “It is madness to take a passing blog comment as embodying my response to the London bombing.” The fact that it was a passing comment makes it even worse. Ye gods, you typed this, it wasn’t some off-the-cuff remark made on the street! You had to put some thought into it, I would hope.
But you clearly didn’t think about what you posted, nor the implications of this statement (amazing, given all the times you’ve been called on your crap before). But you are clearly unmoved by the events.
Evasion, misdirection, deflection. That’s all we’ve seen. No apologies, no retractions. Not that I place any faith in apologies or retractions, but it would be a pleasant change in the frantic spin control that you practice every time you log onto some blog.
But if you want to pretend that you have maintained your dignity, and “...lent tim’s site a fair degree of intellectual credibility…”, well, hell, it’s a free world. You are perfectly free to open your mouth and prove yourself a fool.

Ah, but you already have Chris. Watching you expose yourself in this thread as so petty, weak and up yourself that you can’t even bare the indignity of making any sort of retraction over some comments that were entirely inappropriate and offensive because of their timing (even that lefty moonbat Niall had the guts to make a half hearted retraction over his “slanty eyed” racist spray) was effectively a big virtual hug in itself. The bombings genuinely saddened and depressed me, but watching a wannabe “elite” making such a dick of himself by repeatedly stabbing himself in the foot with his writing pen has cheered me up just a little bit. And of course having this comments thread sitting in Tim’s archives just waiting to be linked to whenever some moonbat tries to pretend the left are all compassion and concern for innocent lives, is quite cheering too. So don’t worry about not having the time to help us out Chris, you already managed that quite well just by being you.
Michael
(Chris’s reluctant…but ever so slightly curious…new *wink* buddy)I’ll explain your embarrassing later error…
What about his earlier ones?
