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.

What is Wrong with Iran?
On NYT column 28/09/09 by Roger Cohen.
Are you sorry that Iran would not deliver nuclear blow
Yes.It has something to do with Iranian pride-what is wrong about it?This is not to condone what it is doing now.Tell, me which sanctimonious Nation is not producing nuclear arsenal right now as they were delivering the lecture?Every Nation has to look after its interest first.US is whining because it is at the receiving end now, for the first time from North Korea and now Iran.Does US notify the its citizens about its nuclear facilities, let alone the world?Mind set of US must change that they are a Nation among Nations and not the Nation.Take Russia and China with other Nations along and be honest with what you do and see the difference.

Present Economic System in US.
The fact that the style of Economy hitherto followed by the US (let us not go by names yet), has been found wanting in that the system is showing signs of problems it seems not capable of handling..There is slump in Demand,you announce fiscal stimulii. demand does not pick up,deflation starts.Lower profitability, loss, closure of companies, loss of jobs.From the economic one , the problem has become a social one(though both can not be separated).
The day when the Govt. decides to go in for stakes in Private enterprises, it no longer is called a free market economy.Ultimately, this is what free market economy has so far ignored-any economic accrual must ensure that there is distribution of it among the society.This has not been felt in the US till now.Now that the jobs are being lost, people are questioning even the salaries of CEOs , which was unthinkable till a few years ago, as people were convinvced that a man earns in commensuration with his skillset and hard work..When people lose jobs, for no known fault of theirs, they question the earnings of others in the system.That is how and why the present reaction in the society and that is how the problem has moved into the social realm.
Nor the Economic model pratised by USSR seems to have worked either.; the end results have been the same;USSR’s disintegrtation has this as a major reason ,because, they concentrated in distributing wealth instead of creating them, while in the US system, wealth was created without distributing.Both lead to social unrest.
The 30% undecided’s reflect the thinking that both freemarket and communist economic models have not been found to be delivering the goods.
India chose a midway-joint sector,where state participation was resorted to in core and essential services/goods, reasonable distribution of wealth was attempted..Priority was given to Agriculture, Manufacturing..This has helped the economy grow.Now India is slowly switching to US freemarket model,without abandoning distribution of wealth (under manageable proportions).As of now, this seems to be paying off..Nobody knows what is in store in the future.
Both free market Keynesian economic model and that of Marx and Engels have not delivered.Time to try new models to get out of the impasse. -
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.
