Every president wants a foreign policy legacy. He only took care of 1 out of 3 of the axis-of-evil. I guess he wants to fake the rest. The only good sign is that we finally have a president who won’t sell us out ’solving’ the Palistinian problem. Although I do think he wanted to try.

All of it is pathetic really. Kicking tail and establishing Iraq is good enuogh, even if we wish for more.

if there is a SINGLE act in international policy future president McCain can do- it is:

-final withdrawal of US from UN
-stopping funding this gang of thieves and -kicking them out of USA.

Plus:
a constitutional amendment should be considered to prohibit any kind of future participation of USA in any deceptive international conglomerate where principals of Liberty are not at rule

China’s stance in insisting on keeping help at bay for the citizens of Darfur.

China has a vast oil deal with its (major ?) supplier, Sudan and even itself built and paid for a pipeline inside Sudan.

China sells arms to Sudan, some of which arms may have even been in play in the government’s (and janjaweed’s) actions in Darfur.

And of course China (and Russia) both use their positions on the UN Security Council to interfere with votes or sanctions on both Sudan and Iran. (the latter also a major supplier of oil to China)

However, once the IOC long ago named Beijing for these Olympics, I don’t believe in boycotting.

Why do you we place our self indulgence, our own ambitions before the betterment of others or all? I am asking this because it seems that we can do so much to stop the pain and suffering of others by taking simple stands against injustice.
For instance why did the United States and other countries refuse to participate in the Olympics Games in protest of China’s involvement to help facilitate the genocide in Dar Far?
I commend Steven Spielberg from withdrawing his expertise in directing the event in China but why do we find it so hard to find solutions to issues that we face? Do we over think situations? Do we make them more complex than they really are? Or is it that we truly place our wants, desires, and ambitions before the rights of others. Or is it that we look for others, someone other than ourselves to step forward and solve these issues? Do we feel taking a stand is a hero’s job and not our own? Do we ignore these issues out of genuine ignorance or simply ignore them?
I am extremely bewildered by the actions of the UN, mostly China’s stance in insisting on keeping help at bay for the citizens of Darfur.
This thought is not about whether China deserves to host the Olympic Games or not, this is about the morality of every individual. If you are aware of the issues the people of Darfur face, why would you not feel compelled to protest the Olympic Games? Why would anyone in China not feel the same?
Why do the television stations who intend to air the Games, refuse to show them? Why not instead cover stories, run documentaries and promote the involvement of assistance for the people of Darfur?

Javelin, exactly what history you been reading? When did the US or the UK “woo Vichy France”? And exactly what would Franco’s Spain have done to close the Mediterranean? What Italy did?

There is only one way to deal with communists, and Beijing, NK, Kremlin are communists-

No trust, No fear, No negotiations

They are infiltrating our society since day ONE from 1918 or very close.

Today it yields the most devastating results, but it is just the begging

From what i learned in my 27 years spent in USSR, my contacts in their ruling elit, my relatives, some of them from the highest ranks and from all the years after false collapse of communism:

deception is their weapon that is a preparation for a FINAL SOLUTION

their society is just one big criminal conglomerate and we must expect ANYTHING AT ANY TIME

They mastered the art of manipulating of politicians in the Middle East Europe and USA to the unprecedented degree

But it is not going to JUST CORRUPTION or hidden deals

the people in power there are exactly the same kind of people who killed tens of millions of their own population,
in case of NK THEY ARE DOING IT TODAY

They WILL ATTACK US HERE IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY WITH ONE GOAL:

to kill us all. That is their only path to avoide justice

Because justice will be served on them.

I am sure in the end we will win it, but we may and most loikely will have enourmous casualties, think in terms of 9-11 but in millions, may be up to 2/3 of our population. They plan it.

We should get ready on the most serious level.

With polititians like we have- it may go very wrong

Just ask yourselfs:

WHY THEY KEEP AND DEVELOP MORE WMD?

No one threatens them. But the do it: Kremlin, Beijing, NK, Iran.

Everybody must ask them selfs this question: WHY MASS MURDERERS HAVE MORE WMD THEN WE DO HERE?

Maybe this is an acknowledgement that we can’t confront everyone in the world. After all, we did our best to woo Vichy France and Franco’s Spain in WWll with some success. Spain stayed out of the main fight, leaving the Mediterranean open. Somehow, Claudia and her ilk think we have to be constantly at war or something is wrong.

Mr Kabud,

Thank You for the link to the FrontPageMag article.

This is something that has perplexed me for quite some time. As you may guess, I have a little more awareness on the subject than I think most people do. Anyone with even the least bit of curiosity could do a very simple search on the web and discover that the U.S. has recovered hundreds of chemical munitions in Iraq. Why the President has not pointed that out is beyond me. I think that the reason the media doesn’t mention it is pretty obvious.

The Presidents’ statement about North Korea is interesting, and I suspect that the intended audience is not necessarily the U.S. public.

Respectfully,

Major Bill
