On the one hand ,talk of world disarmament,on the other this.Some weapons might have been sold to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups as well, not counting weapons supplied to Pakistan.Some Foreign policy! Talk of your finger hurting your own eyes!

Missile withdrawal in Europe.
Courageous,imaginative, bold and practical move. Technological reasons apart,the political returns on assuming charge of other countries’ defense is minimal.Tell me, which country has not been attacked because it has US defense system or US personnel.Protagonists of interfering in the affairs of a foreign country might argue that it is acting as a deterrent.Logic is flawed.When a country is not threatened.you assume it is because of US protection.What about North Korea vs South Korea and Japan?If a country decides to attack another country or wants to defend itself it will do so with or with out US support.What happened when Nixon sent US Enterprise into Indian ocean in 1971 during Indo-Pak.conflict?India went ahead and Bangladesh was born.What about Vietnam,Korea? US wasted lives and money.To what end?Double guessing game costs.Obama seems to think straight and his move is welcome as it will cool down tempers of jittery neighbors of the countries to which US has stopped offering military installations.Money saved could be used for social causes in US.These types of initiatives shall endear US to the world which sees US as an interfering bully right now.

Israel’s Refusal to a freeze on West Bank.
Israel has won again.US seems to be run by Israel by proxy.Unless the freeze is effected, there is no sense of justice to Palestinians.At this rate Israel, may, over a period of time, have settlements all over Palestine and US will be a mute spectator.Why this pretense of negotiating?

Iran-G20 Show over,move over to real Politicking.
‘Considering’ and ‘Securing’ assurances from China and Russia on taking action against Iran may sound grandiose, but will it really fructify?The ‘inevitability’ of sanctions-as made out by Russia-may drive Iran into a corner.Amidst this bonhomie people seem to have forgotten N.Korea and Pakistan on Nuclear issue.The promises made by China and Russia that they will take tougher action-it is not something new,as Security Council members, they ought to do it anyway-holds good so long as it affects them, especially with reference to China.
Well, the Talk Shop is over,all of you made statesemanesque like statements, now go back to real Politicking.
