Who cares, the fact that the American media and some politicians are making a big deal out of this simply shows how screwed up the US really is. Too bad they don't expend the same energy on fixing their own problems like crime, poverty, racism, healthcare... View

I'd rather compare Palin to Obama and put her track record up against his anyday!! We wouldn't have double-digit unemployment with the Governor, that's for sure. Palin understands the economic impact of lowering taxes and decreasing government spending and could teach Obama a thing or two, until Comrade Obama takes an overdue crash course in Economics 101.
By the way, I seem to recall the liberal media berating Reagan and referring to him as an embarrassing buffoon. Hmmm...Palin's critics are nothing more than an instant replay of the 80's. View
twilight is a multi-volume series, true blood is going to go into its 3rd season. I think we will be neck-deep in vampiric media for a while. 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
Dear goodness, the fact that she gets so media attention is what scares me. It's easy to look at her, listen to her ridiculous childish commentary and agree she could never be a serious presidential candidate. But, unfortunately, I think there are a lot of people who like action and drama and would probably prefer their politicians be celebrities than true leaders. View

Rio2016, don, gin. Go away. You have outdated and viscious opinions of your fellow Americans. Lou Dobbs had the same, and if his visage pops up anywhere else in the media, on either side of the mic, it will be a sad day for America. Our country, with the exception of the native Americans, is entirely made up of immigrants and their descendents. If you can't handle that go back to the countries of your ancestors. Anyone who hates someone else because of the color of skin or country of origin is a troglodyte who will be left in the dustbin of history. View

That's the world of media. When you have controversial opinions, people will have something to say about those opinions. That's just reality. I'm not quite sure how Dobbs thinks this move will change much, but I will miss watching him. I always got a good laugh. And even though I didn't agree with much of what he has said, I did appreciate his honesty. View

She should NOT be banned for life. I know this is an unpopular position, but I am seeing through the viral nature of this bandwagon. Yes as a soccer referee, I would have red carded her immediately, as was done in a local HS game here. IF she is red carded, she gets sent off, and we NEVER hear about it. The mere fact that it is newsworthy is the fact that she WASNT sent off. Now for her punishment, I believe what she did was wrong and she should serve a suspension. However, she should be allowed to come back and play after a sufficient and reasonable time off. I believe the media blew this way way out of proportion and out of context for the cause-effect of the game. BYU was giving it just as good, and they just were not caught. NO PERMANENT BAN. It would be bad for women's sports since men do not receive a permanent ban for much worse offenses. View

I love listening to Lou Dobbs. He tells it like it is. I hope he continues with a media that appreciates him. Your loss, CNN! View
