  • Obama and the Brandenburg gate

    As a Berliner who was there when Obama spoke in Berlin I would like to correct only a detail: It was actually not the Brandenburg Gate which the Obama campaign used as a backdrop for their candidate's speech. True, they intended to use it. But in a long discussion process it was eventually refused by the German authorities. What Obama ...

  • Huff Post's Hypocricy and Chaos in Iran Reporting

    I recently found a reference to a Sy Hersh piece wherein he reveals America has been working to overthrow the Iranian regime led by Khamenei since at least 2007. And that article I found highlighted on the Huffington Post here: Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against ...

  • Darfur: West/Israel Seeks War not Peace

    Talking about genocide in ethereal, transcendental spurts alluding to the nobility of Western and Judaic morality certainly inflates and strokes the ego and crowns oneself with the righteousness to which one supposedly aspires. But the reality is always the powerful wind that blows about the myopic bubbles puffed forth by the likes of Rosner, ...

  • Samuels Is a "Double Agent" for Israel

    What would move an American to support a preemptive Israeli attack on Iran which would inevidably draw American forces in either the line of fire in Iran's two neighboring states of Afghanistan and Iraq, or draw Americans into open military conflict with Iran? America has experienced over 30,100 casualties in Iraq 4,100 dead. ...

  • Re: Are Madoff and his frauding cohearts Financial Terrorists?

    I wanted to revive this thread for the sake of confronting the dire consequences of the global financial crises. Americans, in my opinion, lack the ETHICAL standards to adequately tackle the gravity of the financial crisis CAUSED BY AMERICANS. How many folks know somebody who has lost perhaps millions, and they are just average folks: working ...

  • The Executive and National Policy

    Very interesting article... I have long felt that the American model of tripartite system with a strong executive lacks the accountability built in to a parliamentary system ''of variable geography'', which is to say, a system where a ''prime minister''/head of government defends a particular point of view among colleagues. After a while this ...

  • The American Game in South Asia

    The American public's comprehension of India's place in the world as well as India's place itself has been one of the cases of American superficiality and arrogance overlooking and underestimating. But while the American public has been either looking past India to the Middle East or China and Japan, the American foreign policy and military ...

  • Mumbai terrorists

    Here in Canada a survivor told the media that as he was fleeing a restaurant it appeared that some of the servers had guns and others appeared to have been living in the hotel which means there were a lot more terrorists in on this slaughter than just 10.

  • Just In Time For Halloween - McCain Says 'Boo'

    You have made some interesting and truthful statements in this article. That McCain has been using scare tactics to win is very obvious; from socialism, to Muslim, to Obama's 'associations'. All of this rhetoric to insight fear in the masses. His new word 'the re-distributor' is, as far from the truth as any of the untruths he has been ...
