1.Obama’s line is long overdue from US.This will build Palestinian confidence and also send a warning to Israel that their sufferings in the annals of History does not confer on them the Right to make others suffer for no fault of their own.A good beginning for a solution to middle east.
2.Gameplan of Nkorea is world attention and aid for economic prosperity, hence the sabre rattling.Unfortunately China and Russia are on its side.However repugnant it might be, better to engage in talks and provide assistance to Nkorea to ward off greater threat.
3.Distinction between , Taliban and other terrorists has no meaning..Terrorism is terrorism is ,notwithstanding labels.All forms of terrorism are to be ruthlessly wiped out.But ,of course ,Pakistan?!!!!Pakistan is not only a failed state but a failed society as well.
4.Kelly’s definition is correct.The counter argument based on coercion forgets the point coercion was adopted because there was no voluntary participation.Goal remains the same.In Kelly’s case it is more human face of Communism.Names do not matter nor semantics, but what is real and good.

US tops in Arms Sales!?
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.

Afghanistan.
Gordon Brown will defend Afghan Policy even after he is forced to quit because of this policy.UK should cease to be a vassal of US, if it has to be respected and wants to stand as Nation on its own right.How many insurgency operations has the US won /Vietnam,Iraq,Afghanistan Round No 1?Pause to think.

G-20, Hilarious!
The assemblage reminds one of Medieval Nobility, sans King,where mutual backslapping and bonhomie was in evidence, concealing the dagger .What is for public consumption is not for private practice.The more powerful is trying to off-load their burden on the less powerful(though economically powerful).
Is it not hilarious to find China on the Economic policy making body while it is the culprit in dumping the world with hazardous and under priced products, black mailing countries including US by touting its local market strength?
It is the same China that keeps on committing Human Rights violations.Or take Israel which steadfastly refuses to freeze settlements in West Bank, causing untold miseries to Palestinians and yet it finds a pride of place in this august(?) summit; or take Pakistan which is safe haven for terrorists,Libya known violator of International Law,North Korea, the international Government terrorist; Sri Lanka ,perpetrator of Tamil genocide.All these entities are going to save the world.Obama wanted a world audience, he got it.Period.
