The following provocative question was asked by "a man" by the name of John Darwin at a Lowy Institute talk about the Global Financial Crisis ...

I am interested in what sort of a height of a tsunami wave you are going to have to deal with in the US to get any political movement when flying aeroplanes into tall buildings didn't seem to impact on the American policy in the Middle East to play hard ball with Israel I just wonder what's gotta happen to get the sort of political measures which are needed? The American speaker ignored this question because The prize idiot asked a secondary question about America's expenditures on it's army and the speaker chose to respond only to his second question ...

If I had the opportunity go respond to the first question, which I didn't because I wasn't at the talk, I would have responded as follows ...

Dear John Darwin, by asking your imbecilic question, you have just positioned yourself to win the Darwin Awards. Anyone who has had the misfortune of dealing with children who are in the habit of throwing tantrums in order to try and get what they want, knows that the worst thing that one can do is to give in to the child's demands because if you do, the child will repeat it's tantrums with greater frequency everytime that it would want something else. Everyone also knows that one should not give in to blackmailers demands because no sooner one gives in, new demands will be made ...

Also, Mr Darwin, I think that your implication is OBSCENE. Your stupid question implies that America's policies were to blame for the actions of the Arab criminals who chose to hijack civilian airlines and murder thousands of innocent people.
