There is still a lot of anger surrounding Katrina, and I think this verdict might be a little misguided. The real tragedy in New Orleans was not exactly the levees breaking, but the way that FEMA failed to respond. Until the justice system works its way up to Bush, I'll be waiting.  View

Finally, some justice. The federal government under Bush is still causing problems at home AND abroad despite him being out of office for quite some time now... big surprise there.  View

You people who are slamming Obama over his 'bow' to the Chinese guy? Get over yourselves. If Obama should be slammed for bowing, then so do Ike and Nixon who both bowed to leaders of other countries. And Bush 41 puke on the Japanese Ambassador. What does that say about our country, eh? Pots should not call kettles black.  View

An Outline Whereby ICTY Judges Should Judge Radovan Karadzic By Jill Starr At the end of the day, some three years from now in the final judgment of Radovan Karadzic%u2019s case being tried at the ICTY, and, in morally judging his guilt or innocence insofar as whether he is directly responsible for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity and isolated incidents of rape and summary executions during Srebrenica, first and foremost, the ICTY judges have a duty, a %u201DNoblesse oblige%u201D if you will (used to imply that with wealth, power and prestige come responsibilities of morality-even in judging Radovan Karadzic and the other Bosnian Serbs awaiting trials/appeals at the Hague%u2019s highest court), The ICTY judges have an international duty to compare, contrast and analyze the annals of human history of war, torture and war crimes before rendering their judgement in the case. Why? When analyzing rapes, executions, pilgrimages and torture of former wars,even dating back as far as Medieval Times, cases in point: American soldiers in Vietnam, the Roman Catholic Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition in which women were sexually tortured and burnt alive at the stake, as well as the Abu Ghraib torture scandal recently in Iraq, we discover that the soldiers guilty of these monstrous acts, are themselves guilty and should be tried and sentenced, HOWEVER, one can not rationally say that for instance President Bush was directly responsible for the Abu Ghraib torture scandal in Iraq merely owing to the matter of fact he was the United States President at that time. By the same token we can not reasonably conclude Radovan Karadzic is directly responsible and guilty for the crimes against humanity lower level Serb soldiers committed against Muslims in Srebrenica. For the American and international news media to at this premature point in time to try swaying everyone watching it daily insofar as the Karadzic case, and for this media to daily pronounce Karadzic%u2019s so-called %u201Dguilt%u201D saying %u201Dhe is responsible for the crimes that in actuality, may or may have not occurred at Srebrenica,%u201D even before the evidence and trial has even taken place and been presented; is morally wrong and illegal in and of itself. This entire judgement remains murky and leaves a tremendous %u201Dreasonable doubt%u201D hanging over whether Radovan Karadzic is directly responsible for ordering executions in Srebrenica.  View

Maybe if Bush had taken a little more time making a decision about Iraq, we wouldn't have invaded on false pretenses. Props to Obama for taking his time even in the midst of scrutiny.  View

Of course Tony Blair is the right man for the job. For ALL sorts of reasons, not the least of which is that with him in that position Britain will AT LAST take its rightful place as a full-hearted member of the EU. After more than half a century of prevaricating it is about time! I don't accept the anti-war/anti-Blair argument that Iraq is Blair's weakness. I believe the opposite. It is and was his strength. Difficult to prove, of course, but since Saddam HAD used WMDs on his own people and on Iran, and since he DID have plans to continue that development, the outlook if he had been left in place would not have been good. Israel was in his sights. And with any ongoing Iran/Iraq/Israel confrontations and the present "government" in Iran who knows where it would all have led? As it is Iraq is a far, far better place than it was before the invasion. If you are only concerned about body counts, and I realise some are, even though most of the bodies were produced by insurgents, I realise this will never satisfy you. But Blair made the right decision with the wider political picture clear in his mind, imho. The EU presidency will NOT be decided by the leaders of the 27 on Iraq. They KNOW that Blair and Bush were probably right, and most of them, over 20 of the 24 then EU members went into Iraq with Blair & Bush. The decision for President may well be made for other political reasons, many and varied. But Merkel needs to remember that if she fancies the job herself when she leaves office, it might only be worth having if Blair shapes it into the powerful role in the world it needs to be. We do not need a mousy unknown character as EU, while a superstar waits in the wings. Thanks for the video, btw.

Why are people so quick to judge president Obama on his 1st year as a president a problem. He is correcting the many errors of our previous president George bush. I feel give him a least 2 years before you pass judgment.  View

I think we all have a very romanticized perception of Obama - and sure, cos he did promise a lot. He evoked a lot of emotions through his speeches, plus the fact that he's the first black president made us all think he's superman. But are we kidding ourselves? He's human and only one year has passed. Cut the man some slack. I'm sure he's working hard to try and solve issues. You don't see him hitting golf balls all the time like Mr Bush during his presidency.  View

What is the difference in the alien costume and say an obama, bush, or anyother political person?.... i think this country is just trying to make problems up so we can have something to bitch about.....  View

He claims he is telling the real story, Ha It is nothing but lies!!!!!!!!!!! I refuse to watch Fox, listen to Glen dumbass Beck and Fat disgusting Rush. They should be tried for treason and sent out of the country for the rest of their lives!!!! They lie as badly as the crook Cheney and stupid Bush. They are nothing but liars and fear mongers.  View
