A big storm blew into Myanmar last week. An even bigger storm is brewing. So far, 62,000 people are either dead or missing. Nearly 1,000,000 are homeless. The United Nations, along with the United States, rushed to provide food for the homeless. The Myanmar ruling junta confiscated it.
Now, this is where I get pissy. The [...]

Jimmy Carter is reportedly going to Syria to meet with Hamas leaders. Now, just a thought here. If Hamas is designated a terrorist organization, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are part of the overall War on Terror, wouldn’t that make JImmy Carter a traitor? Can’t we shoot traitors? Last I recall, we can. [...]

Hugo Chavez has cozied up to FARC for a long time. Now, he’s threatening to go to war with Colombia for raiding into Ecuador to take out a FARC leader. In the process, Chavez is, of course, blaming it all on the US because the US has helped Colombia deal with FARC as best we [...]

That’s the question being asked on CNN right now. Naturally the two Democrat candidates left are battling it out over who the rest of the world will like better. To me that’s not really much of an issue. I’m sure they’ll like either of the two, and probably McCain as well, better. However, that’s appropriate. [...]

A lot is being made of the Straight of Hormuz incident between the US and Iran a few days ago. The US claims it was harassed and provoked, the Iranians said originally it never happened. You be the judge, here IS the incident as provided by The Pentagon:
Now that the whole world can see it, [...]

I am reading right now that Benazir Bhutto died in the suicide attack on her rally.
This is awful news.
I have heard a lot of speculation that Al Qaeda has focused on Pakistan since it’s getting its butt kicked in Iraq and Afghanistan. That makes sense. What doesn’t make sense there is attacking Bhutto. Musharraf is [...]

This clip on Memritv to me perfectly illustrates the difference in cultures of “the evil Satan” of the West and “the religion of Peace” of the Middle East:
Saudi Cleric Muhammad Al-’Arifi Explains Wife Beating in Islam to Young Muslims in a Ramadhan Show
That’s just nuts by my standard. If I could ask Al-Arifi one question, [...]

When the Democrats were in the minority, they badgered Bush to death as being a shoot from the hip cowboy ready to take aim at anyone that he had an issue with. The difference now it seems is the Democrats are pretty much in the same boat, except there’s no logic to who they’re shooting [...]

Congress passed another non-binding resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran. Specifically targeting those protesting labor rights in Iran. This bill passed 418-1. Wanna guess who voted alone against this bill? One clue, he’s done it before. Yup, that’s right. Ron Paul. One other person felt so unmoved by the plight of those poor souls [...]

In the form of a resolution, Congress took a hard slap at the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Basically, it goes like this. The United Nations formed a council to look into human rights violations and do what it can to assure human rights are respected all over the globe. With the continuing genocide in Africa, [...]
