My first post at Politico.com

I have joined Politico.com, and here is first article: The Life of Our Foreign Policy. It is seriously sarcastic. lol. I tried share a light-hearted humor to a very dangerous situation. I hope you like it. Have a great day.

Pelosi Effect: Pro-Democracy groups in ME hunted

After Ms. Pelosi visited Syria against President Bush' 'wishes', they, the murderous dictators, went back to their old selves because they believe there is no longer any pressure coming from America. They believe they can censor, torture, arrest for no reason just as long as you say ANYTHING against your government, and more.

Ms. Pelosi, why? Why would you want to give our enemies that thought? Why would you deny civil, human, and womens' rights to others? You know the kind. The kind you are celebrating for being speaker of the house. Who are you that you can do this to the years these brave young activists have fought and achieved some headway, until you come along and destroy it all? Who in the HECK are you and just who do you think you are?

My fellow Americans, please do not take my word alone about this. I am heartbroken and angry. I believe you would be better served if you were to hear it from the mouth of someone who is actually living there.

His name is Sandmonkey, and Atlas Shrug has interviewed him. You decide for yourself, but please. Put yourself in his shoes, then open your mind before reading and listening to the interview. Thank you.

We must stand up for our Marines

Here we go again. Yet another travesty of this war. Kit has been involved with this case for over a year. You know the one. Haditha. Just mention the name and everyone jumps to the conclusion that everyone's guilty, right? Have you ever heard of evidence? How about due process?

Over the last year, I have been investigating the cases of Haditha, the Iron Triangle Case, and Hamdania–three incidents that have sparked international outrage and condemnation from all corners.? According to the media and even our own government, these Marines and Army Ranger are all guilty of murder–for killing the enemy in a combat zone. [Continue reading.]

ME, Sudan, and Germany News Round-Up

Let's start off with some good news for a change, eh? Iran releases 8 women's rights activists from jail! This is a good start, but we still have to pressure Iran for the other 25 women they are still holding. If that link no longer works, try this one.

Another good news article is this: Iraqi MP: Some lawmakers to lose immunity. This could have something to do with the government officials whose son was stopped at the border while returning from Iran. The news neglected to mention that the official had his office searched on suspicious of ties with death squads. If that link no longer works, try this one.

The situation in Darfur, Sudan, has finally reached the ICC: Impunity for war crimes against women. This article confronts the daily abuses and victimization of women. If that link no longer works, try this one.

Here is an article that could be perceived as either good or bad. It depends on whether you'd like to know before hand if there is a threat to your person. Saudi authorities warn foreigners of attacks. If this link no longer works, try this one. Please be careful if you have any plans on travelling anytime soon. To find out if there is a threat level increase, check here.

Syria is not doing anything uncommon. It amazes me how so many people are surprised when they find them to be bad actors, including the USA. This time, however, it was the Belgian Foreign Minister Karel de Gucht who left the country with his hands in the air and he shaking his head. If the link no longer works, try this one.

"BERLIN: Bomb-building instructions have been found on the deleted hard drive of a computer belonging to one of the suspects in the attempted bombing last summer of two trains in Germany, a newspaper reported on Wednesday."

I found this to be partial good news. I'm still quite upset about the leader of Hizbullah's brother being released some 2 years ago. If that link doesn't work, use this one.
