This is an opportunity for a really sarcastic article about how the supposed war crime of liberating Iraq somehow led to Iraqis voting for the very people who not only supported the invasion but even those who made the invasion happen . But instead of writing such an article, I thought I will rather celebrate this great democratic success and give liberals who opposed the invasion a chance to celebrate this too. For the third time Iraqis have had the chance to vote. Omar of Iraq the Model...
I found this interesting article on Ynet News. Rethinking Palestine Martin Sherman offers a paradigm shift from the political to the humanitarian And he makes some excellent points: It is time for the proponents of the two-state solution to admit that the Palestinians have failed the test of history in staking their claim for statehood. A dispassionate evaluation of the events of the past two decades inexorably compels one towards an increasing evident conclusion: The ...
What is your position regarding Jews and Arabs living in Jerusalem? 1. Jews and Arabs should be allowed to buy or build houses in all of Jerusalem. 2. Only Jews should be allowed to buy or build houses in all of Jerusalem. 3. Only Arabs should be allowed to buy or build houses in all of Jerusalem. Just curious.
This could be good news. A Somalilander friend has sent an email to tell me about this article: http://somalilandpress.com/11628/israel-says-ready-to-recognize-somaliland/ The government of Israel is ready to restore the de jure recognition it has offered to Somaliland in 1960 as it eyes the Red Sea and the Horn, an Israeli spokesman says. ... Many analysts believe Israel has growing national interest in the Red Sea region, a key shipping route. According to well-infor...
Dutch MP Geert Wilders, who has been accused of Islamophobia, faces trial in his own country for inciting hatred. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7314636.stm You have probably already heard of Dutch politician Geert Wilders who has been accused of "Islamophobia" (which is apparently now a crime in Europe) and is currently on trial for his opinions. Wilder's politial opinions are "libertarian" as he calls it but also ahve room for a public healthcare system and social services...
Dos and Donts for the modern humanist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saeky9I5T9c I sometimes wonder why "peace activists" accept the Nazis as evil. After all, they demonized European Jews (who are not better than middle-eastern Jews), called for a boycott of their businesses, and tried to murder them (and succeeded). Those same acts today are considered "resistance" and the groups that pursue them are called "peace partners" and their demands are seen as justified.
The "United Nations", founded the be a forum for _nations_ to speak has over the decades since her founding become a forum that defends dictatorial rule over nations and prevents nations from asserting their independence. I wrote about this issue before. Now Ban Ki-moon, completely ignoring the Nilo-Saharan (African) tribes' right of self-determination which the United Nations are meant to uphold has decided that the United Nations, the forum, ought to take sides. And, surprisingly enoug...
The Miami Herald finally reveals the true depth of the racist evil that is the Zionist Entity: Israelis seem determined to do all they can to help the inhabitants of a frail nation thousands of miles away, people with no connection to Israel other than the fact that they both have a history of suffering. Watching the Israeli response -- one of the fastest, most effective of any country on Earth -- it is striking to see the enormous gap between the grotesque image of Israel woven by its enem...
Reports from Haiti say that the racist Israeli oppressors have arrived and built one of their terror hospitals: The IDF's field hospital in the Haitian capital worked at full capacity throughout Sunday, treating a relentless stream of victims from what a senior IDF medical officer described as "the war outside." Overnight Saturday, in what staff described as one of the most fulfilling moments of their work, the Israeli doctors delivered a baby boy, whose mother, Gubilande Jean Michel, pr...
According to these reports from the BBC and "Democratic Underground", whom both I have decided to trust about this, the Israeli secret service had tried to warn the US about the 9/11 terror attacks in advance and to prevent them. The American intelligence agency, the CIA, could have prevented the 11 September attacks if it were not for systematic failures, according to the German newspaper Die Zeit. The paper has uncovered details of a major Israeli spy ring involving some a 12...

Ottawa also is sending two navy ships, helicopters, transport planes a...
The upside: I believe the facts speak for themselves: For the past few years, I have been crafting, in my head, an incredible novel coupled with some plot lines as well; I believe this novel will position me alongside literary giants such as Dostoyevsky. This novel may deeply affect the enlightened world’s cultural perception. In my mind’s eye I see how youngsters eagerly and passionately reading it, while the elderly zealously debate it at local cultural centers. And th...
My friend Kejda Gjermani has written an excellent article about the change and less unilateralism Obama brought about when he unilaterally changed the terms of a treaty with allies Poland and the Czech Republic. http://www.commentarymagazine.com/viewarticle.cfm/the-missile-defense-betrayal-15293 “Catastrophic for Poland” is how a spokeswoman at the Polish Ministry of Defense described the suspension of the program. Mirek Topolanek, the former Czech prime minister who had g...
There is so much that is wrong with the United Nations in the practical sense. The corruption, the support and protection the organisation grants to dictators, the deflection of criticism of genocide are only a few of these problems. But there is a more fundemantal problem with the UN which is probably the cause for all the practical problems, and that problem is with how the UN completely ignore their own purpose. When the United Nations were founded during World War II by the later victo...
Does anybody else think that the world might soon run out of awards to give to President Obama? And he still hasn't achieved anything, let alone made peace between any parties. George W. Bush was instrumental in setting up peace treaties in Liberia and Sudan (between the Arab government and the Christian south). But actual achievement is worth so little these days...
