    Bob Kerrey bid causes left to lash out

    If the Democrats embrace conservatism, the Republicans will win. If I remember well the election of Obama, the participation was relatively high and the abstention was lower than before, when Bush was elected in 2000 and 2004. A part of the electorate who generally don't vote decided to vote...

    Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigation"

    Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati Actually, I am not a pro Bush, far from that. It is just that Baradei knows that no international court will judge Bush one day or another. Of course I am not sure of what I claim, but I would not be...

    Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigation"

    Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati There were maybe frictions between El Baradei and the Bush administration in the past, but I doubt that El Baradei said that Bush should face criminal investigations when he was at the head of the AIEA...

    Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigation"

    Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati El Baradei just wants to gain points for the next elections in Egypt. Attacking the Americans can be a good tactic to please the Arab public opinion. Because he certainly knows that it is simply impossible to...

    Gadaffi expelled Palestinians and confiscated their homes and property

    Kaddafi was certainly afraid that the Palestinians have political activities in his country. That what they did in Jordan before the king decided to resolve the problem by eliminate the most dangerous Palestinians militants. And that what they did and do in Lebanon.

    Ivory Coast strongman arrested after French forces intervene

    In 2002, the French troops stopped the rebels who wanted to descend from the North and invade the South, to depose Gbagbo. So apparently Gbagbo thought he was strong enough to stop them again. But this time France did not intervene, at least not on his side. But it is certainly a good thing...

    Anger begins to infect Europe's Prosperous Core

    When a nation is not well unified, when there are important ethnic or national differences between the regions forming an entity, it is normal that some regions don’t want to pay for the others. The article takes the example of Belgium, where the Flemish, rich, don’t want to pay for the...

    U.S. Economic Stimulates Benefits Everybody - Except U.S.

    The multinationals manufacture in China or India and sell in the US or in Europe. But one day the demand in the developed countries will fall and the demand in China and India will not be high enough to compensate it. The multinationals play a dangerous game, because now credit will not help any...

    Belgians vote on future, united country in doubt

    The problem would be Brussels and the little region around it. Would the town became Flemish? I read that there is 80 % of Francophone in Brussels. And without Brussels, Flanders would lose a big part of its wealth.

    Official FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 Thread

    You are right about the manager. He thinks that the tie obtained by his team is like a victory. The French don’t know what to do when they have the ball.

    Official FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 Thread

    The French players lack of agressiveness. They are not going to go very far in the competition.

    Radical islam and Russia-double standards?

    Yes, America has always been the great Satan for the Islamists. But before 91, the terrorists who attacked the Americans were the Hezbollah or the Palestinians, not the Wahhabis or Salafis. They start to attack the US after 1991. Before that, Ben Laden participated in the struggle against USSR...

    Radical islam and Russia-double standards?

    The Russians have never had troops stationing in Saudi Arabia, which is the main reason why Ben Laden wanted to attack the Americans.

    Euro/Eurozone viability

    Your article says that there are two solutions for our countries: borrowing money or cutting the deficits. But there is a third solution that many people don’t like: it is taxes. One day or another we will have to repay the debt, and the only way to do it, it is taxes.

    Turkish leader Erdogan begins historic Greek visit

    If the relations between Greece and Turkey are better now, Greece could reduce its military spending. It is certainly one of the causes of the debt that Greece has (the defence represents 4 % of the GDP).
