Recent US led Afghan Airstrike Violate International Law
International Law is explicit about civilian protection, including but not limited to Article 51, 52 and 57 of Protocol 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Violation of these articles are demonstrable by the recent U.S. raid on an Afghan Village as reported in early May of 2009. Article 51: Protection of the civilian population Paragraph ...

Re: Once expanded, presidential power doesn't contract
What we Americans have to understand more broadly, is that our Presidents since Abraham Lincoln at least, have been pressured to enhance the powers of the nonentity corporations and the class-partisan, centralizing Nation State Government as against those powers of the people, both enumerated and unenumerated, to this very day. Just look at the ...

Legal Foot Dragging Denial of Inevitable by Senate Republicn
I find the months long and continuing saga of Senate Republicans and former incumbent Norm Coleman of Minnesota, in denying a rightful U.S. Senate seat to Al Franken, both insulting and undemocratic. These Republican legal stratagems and arguments are hollow and feckless, mere tools of the impoverished and unimaginative minds of Sore Losers. In ...

Health Differences Between Americans & Europeans
HEALTH DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMERICANS & EUROPEANS I have commented before about the striking discordance between the amount of money that we spend on health care in the United States and the health outcomes that we achieve with all of those dollars.

Wow -- What a Rant by "Rage Boy" Chris Hitch Today
I am perfectly content, really quite happy, about Obama's decision to have this mega-Church author, pastor, and cultural figure, Rick Warren, give the prayer at the January 20th Inauguration of our new United States President. I understand the apoplexy of ''Rage Boy'' Christopher Hitchens at the very thought of a prayer being said, let alone a ...

New definition of rich
Michael makes excellent points, as usual. I would add an additional argument for recalculation of rich and poor - and that is in carbon sinks and emissions potential. Brazil, Congo, Indonesia - their forest tracks make them rich in the capacity to store carbon. China's large supply of dirty coal, large population, and established high growth ...

Sarah is a symptom of America's ignorance of mental illness
She is the political equivalent of Britney and Paris, and, I believe, a very dangerous women. We have GOT to stop putting these people in office Compare her to this: Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the diagnostic classification system used in ...
