I can see why China and India may be upset. Developed nations had their chance to exploit resources and destroy the environment in the name of development. Now no one else well get that chance to do so.  View

Forget about Japan, look at what is happening in China and India: billions of people, huge manufacturing base, an emerging middle-class. This problem will only get worse and there is no way of stopping it.  View

Most African countries are still bedeviled with the legacy of their colonial era and the corruption of the governments that followed. Corruption caused vast natural resources and economic opportunities to be squandered. Corruption undermines many aid programs in African countries. It would be interesting to benchmark why India, which was under the colonial rule of the British for 200 years, has emerged as a global power and Africa continues to struggle.  View

Our attitude towards Africa has been condescending pretty much since the colonial era. We need to at least cut back on the handouts and really get serious about seeing them become productive global citizens, though whether that be manufacturing, agriculture, mining, or even outsourced administrative work (as was so popular in India), I can't say. But I think Samura's point is spot-on. If we continue to send free aid, most of it will be skimmed by the elites, leaving not nearly enough for everyone else.  View

70 attacks over the course of a year is a startling statistic! it is hard to deny that these attacks aren't racially motivated given the evidence presented. However, it seems a bit unfair to characterize the Indian government's reaction as too soft. Too soft compared to what? they can't do much about the social politics of Australia from India. Social change comes organically.  View

I doubt that BRIC is going to cause a major shift in US RC dominance anytime soon. With China's need for greater internal consumer demand, Brazil's need for productivity gains, India's continuing need for foreign credit and Russia's need for revenue from something other than oil, none of these powers is in a position to make a serious move yet. That said, President Obama's policies have the potential to make a serious impact on world confidence in the strength of the USD. Let's hope he makes right moves. ;-)  View

Tony, That's not true. The world don't care what capabilities rouge western or first world countries like Israel has and does nothing about it. They don't care about it or report on it at all. They don't get any sanctions or hearse politics at all for it. It's also accepting the other nuclear states in Asia - Pakistan and India. And is even helping India in the nuclear field. The world wouldn't do anything if Israel used the nuke. The EU would probably even continue with it's preferential association agreement. It's a world of double standards. Not fair treatment. Pakistan is even an confirmed and admitted proliferator of nuclear weapons related technology. And that went on unhindered and known.  View

Many concerning the issue concerning State of Israel and Palsetinian keep bringing up Iran, as though Iran were responcible for conditions in Palestine. The fact's are that the oldest Jewish settlement (about 3000-years old) is still found living (in peace) in Iran, and refuse the Zionist-Gov bribery to leave. It is also well worth mentioning, every 'fearmongering' lie the Cheney/Bush-Admin charged against Iran has (now) been effectively repudiated with facts. The Int'l Atomic Energy Agency Chief effectively saying the Bush-Admin lied, others informed saying that the US-Gov bullied the (10 common member) Security Council into passing bogus resolutions similar to as done in Iraq to claim "non-compliance' before Cheney's "Constublary" world domination plan. The CIA also advised Iran gave up Nuclear Weapons in 2003, the Pentagon in 2008 dropping their (bogus) charges they had evidence of Iran weapons supplied Iraq terrorist, etc, etc, etc. The only non-member of IAEA 'Non Proliferation Treaty' nations with dangerous Atomic-Bomb stockpiles within that area of the world are India, Pakistan, and State of Israel.  View
