Firstly the woman who got imprisoned in Saudi Arabia. She is a guest in their country and reaping the benefits of high wages and dirt cheap cost of living that come with residing there. There is no way on earth she wouldn't have known that public contact between unmarried men and women is strictly prohibited and yet chose to deliberately flout the law. This is in a country where 10,000 people are employed to enforce the strict 'moral' code. What was she thinking? To then go on and describe people enforcing the law against those who break it as 'terrorists' is stereotyping verging on racism. If she doesn't like it then she shouldn't be living there propping up the economy of one of the world's most oppressive and medieaval regimes. I'm glad she's decided to stay as I will be petitioning the Mutaween, demanding she is rearrested and flogged.
Secondly the Australian abhorrence of Japanese whaling. The Japanese do not care about whales. They do not think they are special and magical creatures. They never will. They're far too busy buying used ladies underwear out of vending machines and miniaturising stuff. Stop making such a fuss. At the last count there were 761,000 minke whales (in the southern hemisphere alone). I think we can stand to loose a few, especially if its at the expense of the good relations of two of the regions largest powers.
