A furious Israel threatened to pull out of peace talks if the UN Human Rights Council endorses today a controversial report condemning the Jewish state for war crimes during the Gaza offensive in January.

Comment:
Israel is proving to be as recalcitrant as North Korea.Committing a crime and objecting to a report on that is akin to Germany not prepared to accept Nuremberg judgments after world War II.
Unless all the Security Members go ahead with the report and take up follow up action, there is no point in UN discussing the issue.If Israel threatens to pull out let it;impose sanctions.These are the times when one regrets the end of cold war era and the emergence of as US as an Unipolar power,which is run by Isralel by proxy.

Feminism and Happiness-funny study.
‘Much-discussed study claims that women are more depressed relative to men in recent decades, when it actually suggests that neither marriage nor children make women happy.’

Comment:
1.What is the age of the Groups selected for study?If they are in before in early thirties, then your results are skewed.You need to take age group of 40+ to assess what their feminism has brought them.It will be a revelation.
2.Happiness is subjective and can , by no stretch of imagination can be measured qualitatively.Any qualified Psychologist will tell you that.
3.Drop in suicide rates need not necessarily indicate feminism as the cause.
4. Finally if marriage and children do not give them happiness , what gives them Happiness?Career,Money? excellent!? When your bones become weak, you will know for certain.
Pseudo studies like this are harmful to individual and society.

FOX and White House
“The White House’s battle with Fox News reached a new high on Sunday, when Communications Director Anita Dunn went on national television to blast Fox as a partisan organization that functions as an appendage to the Republican Party.
“Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party,” Dunn told CNN, adding, “let’s not pretend [Fox is] a news organization like CNN is.” Dunn also took her beef to The New York Times, saying in a Sunday interview that Fox is “undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House [and] we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”
Comment:
A Democracy needs opposition;it may be a party or print media or electronic media, though theoretically Press is free, which it is not, as it reflects the views of the Publishers and Editors.Right way for the establishment is to handle is to counter their stance with facts.If true, keep quiet at best.If untrue face them with facts.No use is cringing and whining.
At the same time Press is expected to be free and publishers should remember that.Else they will be targeted politically, if they are partisan. -
Obama’s Nobel-Derision!-Because he is black?
“My love of lo these many years came into the room and asked what I was working on. I detailed some topics, enthralled as usual by my brilliance, but she scoffed at them all. She said that if she were writing a column, she would say something about how the Nobel Peace Prize committee got matters a bit wrong. Instead of citing Barack Obama for things intended, it should have cited the American people for things done. After all, we elected him.” Richard Cohen -Washington Post October 13, 2009
Comment:
What are you trying to say?Obama deserves it or not? If yes , no issues.If not ,do you want people of US to be ridiculed?
Despite all this prose,one thing is seems very clear.Some Americans still see President as Black.Period. -
Afghanistan-Middle Way?
“While the two obvious options – to back General McChrystal’s Iraq-like surge with its nation-building goals, or to scale back to a small counter-terrorism force that adopts a policing stance aimed at protecting American interests – are dominating the debate, Mr Obama and some of his advisers are searching for a middle way, which could involve strategic military support for fighting the twin enemies of the Taliban and al-Qa’ida, conditional support to the government of Hamid Karzai – who is reeling from well-documented allegations of systemic rorting of the recent presidential elections – and significantly boosting aid for neighbouring Pakistan.

Middle way is no solution.War on terrorism can not be fought on in another country short of taking over the country.Correct option would be to supply materials , both military and economic, provided there is a civilian Govt. with its heart in wiping terrorism.And shore up your Nation’s security.
