Current Events - January 2007

This is just a question in regards to the future.

If the U.S. goes into battle with Iran, what countries would side with whom?

China and Russia would most likely get involved. We've got England, France and Canada who have troops in Afghanistan.

At the beginning of the Iraq war we had only committed 10,000 troops to Afghanistan. Shortly after this was reported we doubled the troops to 20,000. Although there seems to be a shortage of reporting in Afghanistan, it's my understanding that only a handful of cities are under control of the government. The rest is controlled by various warlords and a re-emerging Taliban.

Had we committed 150,000 troops and stayed out of Iraq, do you think we could have captured Bin Laden, brought more of the country under government control, and kept the goodwill of the world? Would it have given us even more leverage against Iran?

I believe that would be the only way to ensure that the superpower does not abuse its power. What's your view?

America's ability to get away with murder is nothing short of a miracle. It has an art for fooling many people most of the time.

They said they invaded Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship and establish democracy. A lie. The other “reason” for the invasion was that Saddam had developed weapons of mass destruction. Another lie.

They said there was a link between the terror attacks of Sept 11 in New York and Saddam. A fallacy.

One principal reason for war was that Saddam had to be toppled in order that the US’s objective of preventing the Opec from adopting the euro as the currency standard for oil transactions instead of the dollar.

The reduction of the dollar’s hegemony in the world economy could not be allowed. And for this to be done, the US had to extend its influence and control of Opec. Iraq, as the country with the second-biggest oil reserves, had to be conquered. So, Saddam had to go. And he went.

The power that made him, the US, will never be made to account for making Saddam.

This possiblity was discussed on the Chris Matthews Show on NBC. With the generals and others who did not support the "surge" in Iraq now fired and replaced, who is left to restrain Bush 2 from a new war in Iran? Can Congress do it? Do we really believe they can? If he starts a war with Iran, will Congress be forced to start the drafting of America's young men (and probably women) for military service? Will you serve if ordered to report for duty on the new Iranian front? Have the recent changes in U.S. passport requirements been related to a future governmental need to deter Americans from leaving their own country, as many did during the Vietnam War?

Take a while ago, for example. The ETA bombed a Spanish airport, BUT since the Basques are not muslim, CNN doesn't find it interesting enough. CNN does a great job at keeping people dumb. Let's just say it was Al Qaeda, it'd have 24 hours coverage.

i am from assam.i feel very bad when people identify assam with the ULFA.the people who call themselves the liberators of assam are the ones who has caused the most damage.everyday innocent people become their victims.they think that whatever they are doing is good for the state and refuse to believe that the people do not support their motive.i would like to know that as a student what can i do to make even a small difference.what can one do to make them realise that they do not have the support of the people.how can one stop them from killing innocent people in the name of freedom movement.for how long will the people of assam suffer discrimination in other parts of india due to organisations like ULFA who instead of doing any good has given a bad name to the state.we love india and do not want a separate country.how do we make the ULFA realise this truth who are bent on creating a separate country.why don't they just live and let live.

It was sad, but good grief, get over it, move on, get another cause, and shut the hell up about it. If I were a "Katrina victim" I'd be tired of hearing about it by now, I'd get tired of being reminded of it. Another thing, they were warned that they needed to get out, but they were too stubborn, stupid, or illiterate to heed the warnings. Now, they say LSU, Tulane, the Saints, and every other team from Louisiana is winning for the "Katrina victims" every time they win a freakin' game, it's getting tired and worn out, MOVE ON FOR GOD'S SAKE! Also, that BS where they attempted to blame the government and President Bush was crap. Spike Lee and his goons were preying on the ignorance of the black community in New Orleans and across the country, Lee knew that they were just ignorant and uneducated enough to believe that crap. Hell, they had people on rooftops shooting at rescuers; I would have let them all starve to death if that was their way of showing their gratitude for being rescued.

ACTIVISM
I live in the U.S. and it really irritates me to see all these petitions for saving Darfur being sent to George W. Bush. I'm not saying I support Bush or not, but why is it the U.S.'s responsibility to save Darfur? There are already so many problems that the U.S. has to deal with internally, like healthcare, social security, etc. Isn't saving Darfur a task for the U.N.? There are too many humanitarian problems in the world for the U.S. alone to concentrate on.

FUNDRAISING
There are tons of fundraisers for Darfur relief. I have never donated to any of them, not because I don't support Darfur relief, but because I can't see where my money is going, and I understand that corruption is rampant in most African governments. Should I feel guilty for not donating? I completely support Darfur relief, but I just don't feel like my contributions will actually go toward Darfur relief. Perhaps you can suggest a charity for me to donate to with confidence?
