  • You think so?

    Real Estate and Food prices pushed up by NGOs? Well since only Afghan nationals are allowed to purchase real estate that is pretty difficult. Prices are being pushed up by drug selling commanders. And food prices are going up all over the world dear. If the NGOs did not buy the food for the poor it would never come to Afghanistan in the first ...

  • Re: separating politics and ethics

    SORRY: I meant to include another link that discussed Sarah Palin's foreign affairs training: See: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080923/ap_on_el_pr/palin_leaders It seemed to be a fairly informative article.

  • Re: separating politics and ethics

    yle: What is that old saying, ''An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought''. I wonder if many of our politicians even live up to those standards. A pretty sad commentary on our times.. I guess, when things like this become the norm, instead of the exception. Sarah Palin may be absent in mind and body, but not in the ...

  • Economic Liberalist/Neo Con Global Movement

    A cursory glance at Canada's plight leads me to believe that it has fallen to the same global movement that has impacted much of the world: the American led economic liberalist, neo conservative global movement. First, what is economic liberalism? It has a particular ideological dogma which is centered on the economic liberalist theories of ...

  • How Radovan Karadzic Helped Cause 9/11

    It may not seem a reasonable assumption that an orthodox Chritsian, ex-doctor,failed poet and newly minted alternative medicine practitioner may have been a factor in the 9/11 attacks but his was one of the reasons behind the Jihadi resurgence in Europe and the radicalization of a generation of western born Muslims. Karadzic was ...

  • Re: The view from Germany

    Sure, they are other ways - but none of them are as visible. If all cops in Los Angeles stopped acting in racist ways, then that would be laudable and noteworthy - but this is unlikely to be noticed in the rest of the world, just like the numerous small ways that the USA gets less racist over time. However, if Obama were to be elected president, ...

  • The view from Germany

    Well, to be fair, there are a few ''nonwhite'' politicians of prominence in Europe. The most prominent example in Germany is likely Cem Özdemir, a prominent member of the European Parliament who has recently announced his intention to run for leadership of the German Green party (and who has a very good chance of making it, too). But yes, there's ...

  • Why wait to support Tibet?

    Tibet and it's monks might have timely relief from Chinese oppression if persons of good will simply engage in an immediate nationwide buyers' boycott of Wal-Mart/Sam's Club. The effect would be instantly perceived by the corporate inventory system and transmission to Chinese suppliers would be rapid. Less out equals less in. The message would ...

  • Israeli Fearmongering for Selfish Interests

    Apparent fearmongering to excite American sympathy and increased American 'aid' to Israel. This is a classic tactic: gain sympathetic action in support of Israel because of: 1)the Holocaust; or 2)Israel's a democracy; 3)The barbarian darkies are threatening to storm the gates of Westerners (Israelis) in the Holyland; 4)look, the barbarian Muslims ...
