    Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao China has called for an end to the ’use of force’ against Tehran in a move that will further complicate the push for new anti-Iran sanctions.

    Who is behind Human Rights Watch?
    by Paul Treanor
    The backgrounds of the Board members of Human Rights Watch (HRW), Europe-Central Asia section, with an indication of HRW funding sources. HRW is founded on the idea that the values of the United States are universal, and that the US must impose them on the rest of the world. As the largest human-rights lobby, it is partly responsible for the increasingly expansionist US foreign policy.

    Pakistan’s foreign relations with the United States are once again at a turning point. The US’ increasingly aggressive counter-insurgency tactics and Pakistani indignation at border violations signal a stark increase in tension between the two ’War on Terror’ allies.
    Regardless of their reservations, it is essential that Pakistan and (…)

    If we do what Bushcrew is proposing, this problem will just come back to haunt us all again in a few months and be even WORSE.
    The real problem with the economy is that its primary driver - the middle class - is out of money to squeeze.
    Everyone has been sqeezing and squeezing until the middle class has been bled dry - it’s just that many haven’t figured that out yet. They still have a little room on the credit cards, or they bought their house 15 or 20 years ago - but done the way (…)

She said impeachment proceedings would play into the hands of the Republican Caucus in the House. Speaker Pelosi added: (…)

    I have concluded that Americans, who pretend in public to be straightlaced, are in fact rabid masochists addicted to whips, black leather and the application of fists. It turns out that large numbers of people throughout the world are accidentally asphyxiated every year because they need to be chocked for maximum pleasure.
    The diagnosis of national masochism is the only (…)

    All - we need to speak loudly and clearly now, in the pivotal moments of this artificially-induced economic melt-down.
    I believe that the Fascists have engineered this crisis in order to implement an unprecedented economic power grab.
    The calls by Democrats and others for oversight and a plan that serves and saves everyday people needs to be supported. If every voice is not raised, there will be unprecedented human suffering as the rich seize anything and everything they wish.
