The WSJ explains the challenges for new Australian PM Rudd. He plans to pull some troops out of Iraq and ratify Kyoto. He's a kool-aid drinking liberal.

Ex-PM Sharif returns to Pakistan to further complicate the situation. I think our meddling with Musharraf has aggravated Pakistan to the boiling point.

US has held Iraqi journalist without charges for 19 months. I think this is the guy who "coincidentally" happened to be at the site of several terrorist attacks as they happened. The US is smart to hold him as an enemy combatant. This idea that we can't hold suspected enemy agents without charges is ridiculous. If true, that would make it in every army's interest to take off their uniforms so that we couldn't hold them.

Syria agrees to attend Annapolis peace summit.

Drug warriors' execution of 92 year old woman, the planting of evidence, and the lies last year hasn't effected our policies or their tactics.

The NYTimes jumps at the opportunity to print the bad news of the recent Baghdad attack after failing to print any of the good news about the surge for the last couple months.

In order to hurt the US effort in Iraq, NBC asks if Iraqi women were better off under Saddam Hussein. It's a shame these irresponsible people reporting this crap didn't have to live under Saddam.

This study that natural disasters have quadrupled because of global warming is bull.

At least one question at a Clinton event wasn't staged: woman asked about Clinton's support for Rupert Murdoch. That's funny.

It didn't take a report like this to tell us that mainstream America hates Hillary Clinton. But I bet the reporters had a good time.

I don't think anybody should advertise they've been tasered 50 times.
What if Gmail had been designed by Microsoft? It would suck.

Excellent analysis of the libertarian movement behind Ron Paul's success, and why the 2 authoritarian parties of are scared.

London debate about Islam sounds more racist than an actual debate. We'd be doing ourselves a disservice to lump all Muslims together and dismiss them. On the other hand, peaceful Muslims have done a horrible job of ferreting out the extremists in their own communities, and in fact seem to tacitly support those extremists in general. We need to work with the peaceful Muslims to get them to promote their peaceful version of Islam and root out the extremist versions that are all too common in the US as well as around the world. And us-versus-them approach will just help the extremists.

Nice analysis of the entitlement crisis that is already affecting our economy, and will quickly crush us all if we don't drastically reduce the size and scope of government.

Valedictorian from Saudi school in Virginia joined al Qaeda. We should get textbooks from the school to insure the school is not inciting its students to violence, but we can't shut it down unless we get evidence.
