      Srebrenica Genocide Blog: From Principle to Hypocrisy

      Posted by Rickster

      We should give credit to the Srebrenica Genocide Blog on its declared agenda to respect findings made by international courts.The problem however is that srebrenica-genocide.blogspot.com does not respect its own principle in practice; especially when faced with judicial findings that go against its own 'opinion'.

      Dealing With the Dragon

      Posted by angliss from New York Times

      The next President of the U.S. needs to realize that the Middle East is a problem, but that the far east, especially China, will drive foreign policy for the foreseeable future.

    • The perfect storm could really blow

      Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

      As we enter the New Year, serious minds are debating whether the mighty U.S. economy is slipping into a shallow cyclical recession or poised for new growth. Consider a third possibility: that a perfect economic storm is forming with the capacity to knock the global economy into a full-blown depression, closing the Age of Excess in which we now wallow.

    • New Year’s Eve in Rural America

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      It’s worth standing out in the snow just to savor the anticlimax of midnight, just to acknowledge that out of the tens of millions of species on this planet, only one bothers to celebrate not the passing of time, but the way it has chosen to mark the passing of time. I remember the resolutions I made when I was younger. I find myself thinking that one way to describe nature is a realm where resolutions have no meaning.

    You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

    I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.

    However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

     . . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.

    i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this.  otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

    Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

    Vote for ( ) - THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

    There are a lot of major issues that haven’t been addressed this time around.  It’s not even disapointing anymore. It’s so typical and to be expected that it doesn’t even affect me any longer

    Hi okami,

    I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

    this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church.  Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."

    people fear change and the future and uncertainity. 

    this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that.  it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.

    Ah, by the way. If I were an US citizen, I would vote conservative, but definitely not because of Obama’s skin colour or because of his religious ideas, if any.

    That’s why I am afraid Obama’s gonna win: because of conservatives’ lackness of proper arguments, I am afraid…

    US fellows: W A K E  U P !!! The world needs a strong US, leaded by an intelligent, rational, liberal person. Not from a religius freak!
