She has a tongue stud,  His name is Walid, her husband.  ;-)

(I can't vouch for your hallucinations though  ;-)

Muslims aren't Catholics, they are allowed to enjoy ***.  B^D


Walid is a past member of the Islamic Council, he left it to pursue
a career in anti terrorist research at Monash.

His wife, I believe, is also an academic.

She adds a whole new meaning to SirVile Howard's usual
appellation for Muslims.   ;-)

I thought so too, but the other one is a princess.   ;-)

  "Iraq War and the price of petrol" - ABC 23/5/2008

      "Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said that not invading
       Iraq would have helped keep petrol prices down
       -- 'It's a factor in the global supply of oil.'"

Of course it is, Iraq has the second largest reserves of oil
in the world.  Even if demand were not rising, which it is,
ANY disruption to supply will cause prices to go up.

As we have all seen at the petrol pump.

       "There is no question that disruption in any im****tant
        country in the oil universe is going to have some
        effect on prices, there is absolutely no doubt about that."
          - Vijay Vaitheeswaran, Energy correspondent for
            the Economist Magazine and author of
            "Zoom: The Global Race to Fuel the Car of the Future"


"Iraq oil output hits a new high
    -    BBC  26/6/2006,

"Production has risen to 2.5 million barrels per day (bpd)
  from a steady 2 million bpd during the US-led invasion,
  Iraq's new oil minister said.

"Before the war, output was around 3 million bpd,
  peaking at a record of 3.5 million bpd"


So, for four years following Howard and Bush's invasion
based on falsehoods about WMDs, Iraqi oil production was
reduced to FIFTY SEVEN PERCENT of it's pre-invasion peak!  8^o

And now it has only inched upward to 71% of it's pre-invasion peak


       "Iraq is a mid-level producer, it's not Saudi Arabia,
        for example, which is a king pin of oil, or Russia, those
        countries produce 9-10 million barrels of oil a day,
        the Iraqi output is maybe 20-30% of that, it's more on par
        with a country like Venezuela, but undoubtedly a disruption
        of the kind which comes from an invasion would of course,
        send prices higher"

  You can thank Howard and the Lieberals for those higher petrol
  prices every time you fill up, and then don't forget the GST
  they put ON TOP of the excise, ON TOP of the Iraq War Petrol
  Price Surcharge!!!!!

  in post war Australian government.. the Lieberal party.


  ABC: "So can our Prime Minister get away with saying that
        if we didn't go into Iraq, petrol prices would be cheaper?"

       "I think that without this kind of Iraq invasion, this
        outcome would not have happened."

       "In this case, it's not just Iraq, if there were to be hostile
        actions by the US against Iran, something President Cheney has
        hinted at, you can bet the prices would go even higher.

        It's a question of the global supply balance, that's the reason
        why an action like  this became so problematic"
