Al-Qaeda has kidnapped two Austrian tourists in North Africa.
But they have a very good reason.
Really!
It's in response to the IDF's action in Gaza... seriously.

Why are they only telling the world now, over a month after the fact?
Someone explain to me how kidnapping innocent people, from a country that has very little to do with either Israel, Palestine or Tunisia.

Never mind, I'll do it:
Hostages, using people of Very Western Country as leverage and showing that no one is spared from the conflict, obviously.
This isn't new.
But it's going to be a big pain in the international community's side. When these people were just missing, they were just that. Missing.
Now they need to be rescued.
Because they'll be murdered.

Lovely.

Oh and Israeli tabloids are calling Syria, Lebanon and Iran "Axis of Evil".
For fuck's sake! I know it's just tabloids, but they're freebies and it's read by thousands of commuters everyday on the trains (they're also given out at malls and large intersections - I'd forgotten but during the war in Lebanon, they were handed out at the entrance to the IDF HQ).
Why oh why do I do this to myself?!

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
