I think that all these leaders want their own war on their resumes. Not a scabby second hand war they inherited from their predecessors, but their very own war. No, you ain’t a real leader unless you have sent your people to die and kill other people. The trick is finding a nice neat war that can have spectacular fireworks at the beginning and a quick resolution (images of Bush celebrating ‘Victory’ on some ship). I guess a shoot - ‘em - up of the Libyans looked like just the ticket.

llama, your otherwise interesting post is diminished, unfortunately, by what I consider to be a less than sensitive invective reference to a group of people: "and take out the camel turds." love&peace.

The earthquake the world forgot? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific- Not surprising really. I don't recall any nations rushing with their armies to protect civilians when the army rulers were shooting monks in the streets in Burma a while back or preventing aid reaching tens of thousands dying in the floods there.

I should have shown drawn more of a line between those trapped by circumstance in Tripoli (most of them), and those ardently supporting the dictator's cult of Green and enjoying great economic advantage (whom I referred to as camel turds). I'm sorry if that term offended you. I never forget they are all human beings and and all want the same thing. As I take a strong stance in my own life because of social ills I tend to add a moniker here and there. I leave it to others to judge if it is appropriate. Ahh, the holy, virgin ears of the deadheads... I won't even quote some of the things I heard hanging outside a Furthur concert last week And when somebody deletes my posts and not others who call me names I have learned not to be offended. It would be a wonderful world if we were never felt the need to use epithets when referring to people with less than extremely arrogant or malicious behavior.

There was a tremendous push for $10 donations (at least) to the Jappanese disaster victims, especially through the Red Cross. There was indeed a stark contrast between that onslaught of begging and the effort mounted to help the Pakistani people, where 1/3 of their country was flooded. The technology is there to increase donations but so is the racism to decide who they are given to. Somehow I think Japan is going to be just fine in a couple of months while Pakistanis are going to have less to live for and don the suicide vests by the thousands. For the record, I feel sorry for all people exposed to disaster, especially the ones who lose all hope of a nominal existence and feel nothing to live for among people who preach hate.

Plutonium is in the mixture of the leak at #3. Units 1 & 2 are still leaking. The evacuation zone is now advised up to 18 miles. Spokespersons (Not Japanese) are saying that it is UNLIKELY that in the worst case scenario more radiation will escape than in the Chernobyl accident. As winds push across the Pacific the radiation will saturate the West Coastof North America with a diluted mixture of radiation. Maybe it is time for those thyroid pills, This incident is now out-of-control, officially. Healing vibes to that place folks. Say a prayer for your mother Earth.

Does anyone really believe that is NOT the reason the neo-libs are silent about Obumma sending tens of thousands of troops into Afghanistan?? Where are the huge demonstrations we saw while "W" was in office??? Now let's see how fast these posts get deleted like my posts on the other MB...Very open-minded moderators...Hahaha, no censorship here...Don't bother responding, i won't be here...As some of you may know i rarely return ever since i read a DNC post that said the worst terrorists in the world are in the U.S. military...Can Obamao please make up his mind? Does Qaddafi "have to go", or not??!!! Back before the Islamofascist maniac at Fort Hood began his Jihad, one of the DNCers asked in a hopelessly naive manner; "Hey dewlover, what makes you think there is a terrorist threat?" Can you imagine? Exactly how may missles is Nobama going to drop in Libya?? My stomach turns when i am subject to too many of the blame America first crowders, so c-ya!!!

Just finished watching Obama speak on Libya and he seemed to leave more questions unanswered than he provided clarity. The one thing that came through very clearly was that the US would no longer go it alone. We would act with a coalition that shared the expense. The moral dilemma, as always, is where the US & allies will (or not) act. It shouldn't be overlooked that French warplanes were in the before America did anything. The French have a heavy connection with the Libyans. The US has followed up with 192 cruise missiles, the Brits, 7. The US continues to to follow-up the no-fly zone, leaving a trail of shattered Libyan military columns. Why? Oil! Libya has the chronic The rest of the Middle East is the question. Highly volatile. It is unlikely the US will keep a coalition together as struggles to protest it's naval post Bahrain and and it's primary allie in the area, Israel. Oil, all about oil. It is worthy to note that the commercials following the speech all had to do with natural gas, undersea oil drilling and clean coal. Watching who advertizes is almost as important as listening to the spin. The cost for the US in Libya so far? Half a billion, likely to go to a billion..

Now that scientists are finding radioactivity in the snow of Mass. & NH and they have found at least 5 places around the units at Fukushima where plutonium elements specific to isotopes found in nuclear power production, it's pretty hard not to see that this thing is spiraling out of control. Every drop of water sprayed into Units 1-6 at Fukushima is radioactive. Everything that is escaping into the sea from underground tunnels from those plants is harmful if enough is concentrated in the food chain. Right now it is so hot that workers can't start containing the waste. Although the company's owners are admitting the situation is grave they don't say for whom and how long.... Always the bits of information are said to be not harmful but the whole picture is never projected. And it still may be too early to have a meaningful answer to that question. However, it is not to early to shut down San Onofre and Diablo Canyon, two plants that are susceptible to very likely scenarios - earthquakes of giant magnitude along with tsunami waves of cataclysmic proportion. The worst news hasn't begun to be released. While the rest of the world rethinks it's nuclear power options, Obama, because of large energy company donations that got him elected, still thinks we can learn valuable lessons from this crisis. Here is the lesson. Shut them down and bring alternative sourcesof power online asap. With a humble prayer for those suffering in the snow in Japan.

With thousands of people demonstrating in different parts of Syria currently, it is clear from BBC reports that Bashar El-Assad is using mild nerve agents to immobilize demonstrators. There are some pretty ruthless dictators out there but the succession from Hafez to Bashar Al-Assad (father to son), only shows how ruthless and cruel one family could be. Besieged people all over the world clamor for freedom but, alas, there seems to be no chance in Syria, a country that is definitely a "player" in the Middle East.. Muslim, Jew, Christian.Buddhist -- religion doesn't matter, money and power blow the doors off. New things are invented every day and the first thing thought: "Is there a military application", not "Can we make poor people's lives better?" It looks like a hundred year struggle for freedom in the Middle East has been ignited and one can only hope things get better and not worse. ~ The boys sing round the fire... ~

Unit #3 has sustained the worst damage with a 70% meltdown of the core to date. Radioactivity is now many times higher from the steam and water escaping from efforts to cool down the overheated rods. Gone are the mention of plutonium and played up is the half-life radioactive iodine isotopes with an 8 day half life. One wonders if climate change will force all nukes to shut within Tsunami range (whatever that would be). The 38 foot wave that swamped this nuclear complex may be nothing compared to, say, a 120 foot tsunami crashing into the California coast from baja to SF. 2 nukes totally underwater while a swamped population struggles for survival. ... As an alternative, clean-burning coal will fill those gaps as well as underwater oil exploration. Obama, who took huge campaign contribution from Chicago area energy companies says for the US to be oil independent we must use all sources of energy, even the ones that destroy the environment.

And 16 people in Afghanistan have died to date due to Karzai trying to make political hay out of the incident. What a friend we have in Hamet and his heroin-addicted brother. I know! Lets all burn the Koran and incarcerate every Muslim who breaks the law. This is a sure psychological test of who is a fundamentalist and prone to violence. Besides, the private prison industry is hurting in our country and we need to fill those beds!

No relation to Psychedlic Sam... KC has 38,000 feds and Denver 54,000 workers. A furlough and delayed, or no, paychecks will be tough on many, compounding the frustration of other folks who need federal assistance, like the poor and elderly.

The House passed a 61 million dollar cut that then went to the Senate who have so far acted like children who can't share or make compromises. One of the problems of living in a republic instead of a democracy. There is no doubt that the fledgling economic recovery launched by Obama will be hurt by ashutdown, not only that it will cost millions to shut down and power up again. The Teapanistas are holding Bohner's feet to the fire (Repub. head ramrod). They won't be satisfied until Washington DC is sacked. The Democrats and Obama have everything to gain by making the Repub. look like the inhuman monsters they are. Mod.. Dems & Teapanistas and Independents will vote against them for forcing the shut down in '12, thus assuring a Democratic majority in both houses and Obama's reelection. That would mean programs for the POOR will continue while the MILITARY will be cut and I'm all for that. For that and other reasons to numerous to mention I want the government to shutdown. To be fair, what Repubs. and Teapanista's are screaming about is all true (except Social Security which we all paid for). A 1.4 trillion deficit is not sustainable and will lead, ultimately, like Portugal and Spain to higher interest rates for government bonds. Higher than the .41 on $1 we already pay when we hold a T-Bill auction and the Chinese buy it up. Cut the throats of the mega-corps. and their stinking metrics, ratchet taxes on the rich and police them so they have no where to hide and no way to let their kids inherit more than a million without 80% tax rates and cut the military to the bone. Or let the rich rule and get ready for your standard of living to be slashed.

Read it, agree with most of it. It is surprising for Cal. My view is so far to the left of that I can't even spit it out here. In a land where Donald Trump can be seriously taken for a presidential candidate, can anything be taken seriously anymore? I guess I'll just say "...the pursuit of money is a noble thing" is a horrible curse, a hammer, the root of evil and the death of our planet. Though there are a few corporate CEOs who have taken cuts for their workers (and just regular owners of companies for that matter), they are so few as to be unmentionable. GDean, one thing I've always wanted to ask you.... do you wear sports-coats with elbow patches and smoke a pipe? You always sound so moderately reasonable!

After a marathon winter in North Dakota and Minnesota, the north-flowing Red River is cresting 38' or 39' above flood stage, inundating communities north of Fargo. Sandbags and levees may not be plentiful or strong enough to hold back the water. Feds are off to work this morning after a shutdown was averted with an 11th hour agreement Friday night. Let's see what tomorrow brings, eh? Did another tremblor hit Japan this morning???

....every year Ted. I knew this was going to be a big year but are you sure that it's cresting 38-39 feet ABOVE flood stage above Fargo? (Checking) "FARGO – The Red River crested in Fargo-Moorhead at 38.75 feet at about 6:15 p.m. Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. Meanwhile, widespread breakout flooding Sunday was causing the highest flood levels ever seen in northeastern Cass County and northwestern Clay County, the Weather Service said. Saturday’s crest in the metro area ranks the 2011 flood as the fourth highest on record behind 1897 (39.10); 1997 (39.72) and 2009 (40.84). Since cresting Saturday, the river has been slowly falling in the Fargo area and Sunday’s rainfall, just under three-quarters of an inch by 10:30 p.m., was not expected to push the river back to crest level. However, the river will remain high for many days and it is not expected to fall below 36 feet before Sunday" It is great news that Fargo made it over the hump this year. The city had made a comeback and that ain't no small thing for a Dakota plains town. I really wish those people the very best as well as those downstream. It never ends in Fargo, just makes the biggest headlines there. It would seem that the figures sighted are official crest of the river, not the number of feet above flood stage. 38 feet above flood stage would be biblical. ~ Wake of the flood, laughing water, forty nine Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreaming, get out the way Get out the way ~

It's amazing to me that no one is up in arms protesting the choices of governments recently politicians are suposed to be civil servents, not CEOs, but today I see little difference. Both award themseleves bonuses and raises while the average citizen watches their standard of living go backwards. I know things are bad all over and much worse in the non developed world.

Experts back startling heroin claims

Alan Travis, home affairs editor

The prime minister's startling claim yesterday that 90% of the heroin sold on British streets comes from Afghanistan was backed up last night by experts in the drug trade and radical law reformers. link to 2001 Guardian UK article ********************************************************************************************* Thousands more Americans plow through a ruinous country trying to build something from nothing. An American general said he wouldn't be blame a soldier for sending a few kilos home. How much longer do we have to watch and pay in blood & treasure for this obscenity? Meanwhile Dr.s provide opioid pain-killers to anybody and then they're surprised when pretty Betty-Jo, the former prom queen and now married pharmacy technician, gets blown away by a 16 year-old with a shot-gun at the local Rite Aid??.

A very fine newspaper rather left of centre In the UK 'Guardian reader' is short hand for middle class liberal type Still widely known as 'the Grauniad' owing to its (former) notoriety for typographical errors
