Hitting where it hurts. Just like cheaper goods from foreign lands caused the spurge in globalisation and global warming, it seems that the rising costs due to transportation will finally be the death knell of it. And it is about time too.
A couple of days ago I had gone to Ikea and bought some candles. [...]

The highly delusional state of the US populace would be mildly entertaining, were it not for the gravity of the situation and the respect of basic human rights and the tenets of International law and democracy. United States is called the “land of the free and home of the brave”. Bravery, it seems, has taken [...]

The United States’ media and the populace always seem averse to asking the questions that are the most important. After 9/11, the question should have been what drove those people to fly those planes into the towers and what is the reason for the hate. Sadly, that question was never asked and when it was [...]

Surprise surprise!! It is not the Iranians? Who would have thought?
However, this is not what the MSM and the Bush regime have been repeating, is it? We are being fed story after story of how Iran is involved in arming and training the insurgents and is the primary source of foreign fighters. It ain’t so. [...]
Puppet court upholds Musharraf election
Posted by: aman on: November 22, 2007
…As if this was ever in doubt.
The newly appointed puppet judges by Musharraf uphold the re-election of Musharraf as the President of Pakistan. What else did anyone expect?
But amid all that is going on in Pakistan the Commander Guy offered his unstinting support to Musharraf saying he hasn’t crossed the line yet. Bush probably didn’t [...]

This is an amazing revelation actually.
In a stunning disclosure certain to stir up things in Washington’s (and in Islamabad and New Delhi’s) strategic community, the journal Stratfor reported on Monday that the “United States delivered a very clear ultimatum to Musharraf in the wake of 9/11: Unless Pakistan allowed US forces to take control of [...]

Talk about not learning from past mistakes. The US seems to have learnt nothing from their catastrophic mistakes in Afghanistan by arming the Mujahideen who morphed into the Taliban or by arming Saddam and finally invading him and calling him a threat. Now they are doing the same thing in Pakistan.
The so called Iraq surge [...]

How I wish I could move next door to this person and hook a crocodile pin into the wires. Or maybe if I am lucky they could be using Wireless with WEP and that would be the icing on the cake. Sigh! I wish!
American kids, dumber than dirt
Posted by: aman on: October 25, 2007
For all those who still think that is not the case, you should probably read this article. And it is not an opinionated article. It is being proven. It has been proven by the two previous elections and it has been proven that the hypothetical scenario that the author is quoting is already happening considering [...]

Excellent article by Alan Bock on Antiwar.com about Blackwater and the impact of mercenaries. Even the much despised Machiavelli warned against the dependence on mercenaries like the US is currently doing in Iraq and within the US at the same time with Blackwater.
This is what Machiavelli said:
”Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous,” he wrote, [...]
