I will study the blogs for a while and present some thoughts. <br /><br />My initial thought is that this recent election was incredibly complex and fell to the Democratic party not so much because of what they did spectacularly, but because of what the Republicans did poorly. <br /><br />The Middle East is in Chaos and it seems that the United States cannot get a grasp of even the most basic concept of human rights. Sadly, the world looks to the US to provide guidance in such issues yet in many respects the US has fallen far below the acceptable standard of behavior from a human rights perspective. <br /><br />DW DukeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473844.post-66235441949021454732012-10-22T15:17:00.272-05:002012-10-22T15:17:00.272-05:00What do we really know about Obama himself?

And Friedman is right to say that as long as they give us (oil) what we want, we don't care about their outrageous and inhumane policies. It is not only the Arab world but the rest of the Muslim world that has also lost their ways and live in pure barbaric ways - by this I don't mean citizens in these countries are barbaric but their leaders - who have come to power not through legitimate elections but guns and bullets. Look at what is happening in Afghanistan: killing people over burning of the Koran - a sacred book who they "haven't even read." I oppose the burning of any holy book and I think we have to have respect and tolerance for one another, but there's no justification nor excuse for the kind of violence these people have resorted to. There's the issue of politics and Gen. John Keane rightly pointed out that Karzai and his crooks are supporting and inflaming this sort of violent protests in order to divert people's attention from the real problems. I'm convinced that the burning of the Koran by U.S. soldiers has been unintentional, but even if it is not, an action done by few cannot speak for all the US soldiers sacrificing their lives in Afghanistan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473844.post-68403014817809814632012-02-16T11:04:41.849-06:002012-02-16T11:04:41.849-06:00I'm afraid Saleh is right.

Over the last ten years Afghans have paid a high price - they are willing to sacrifice more of their blood in order to stop the return of the barbarians (Taliban). Even though Afghans have been badly hurt - they are not going to approve any sort of peace deal with the Taliban, for they know that the Taliban are not sincere in their negotiations. I doubt this peace deal would bear any fruition - excuse my pessimism. A peace deal with the Taliban is not the solution or the way forward in Afghanistan, but a "pluralistic," responsible, and efficient government that respects and protects the rights of all Afghans.Fahim Masoudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304354061382476036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473844.post-27138292506198387052012-02-15T20:08:15.187-06:002012-02-15T20:08:15.187-06:00The Taliban have certainly moderated their strict ...The Taliban have certainly moderated their strict codes and rules - they have also evolved into a different group, a group that is probably a lot less religious, less inclined to impose the kind of Islamic law they did tried for 6 years. However, they are still lackeys of the Pakistan government and its spy agency - ISI. <br /><br />I doubt Afghans - esp. the Hazaras and other minority groups are in favor of the Taliban returning to power - let alone women who had no rights under their rule whatsoever. <br /><br />You rightly pointed it out the Taliban "changing face." Today they are against or in disagreement with Pakistan but tomorrow when the Americans leave, they are going to be its pawns again. <br /><br />The US must NOT leave Afghanistan, as the majority of Afghans welcome the US presence in Afghanistan. Afghans are very optimistic about their future - progress takes time but I'm sure it is achievable.Fahim Masoudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304354061382476036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473844.post-9481523416271382542012-01-22T08:29:34.434-06:002012-01-22T08:29:34.434-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664942400486395078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473844.post-57631947215858091372011-12-21T04:11:58.130-06:002011-12-21T04:11:58.130-06:00Thanks, Alex, for such a helpful comment.

Early in the post you mentioned the idea that you were a "sympathetic" audience. I think that "sympathetic" as a qualifier is apropo. For some reason, I'm reminded of Rousseau's concept of "amour propre" and the importance of our "being" relative to others. <br />When I have ideas or am developing thoughts, I find it useful to bounce them off some of my professors. Many, if not most, are not up to the task, but those that are simultaneously help validate and critique my ideas. I think that the process itself allows me to bring my mind out into the open and gain some sort of intellectual acceptance/understanding/being.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473844.post-40889762218721413002011-11-05T12:29:48.822-05:002011-11-05T12:29:48.822-05:00Thank you.

If one looks at the (released) timeline for the planning of the operation to kill Bin Laden, up until November, most of what the CIA knew was "maybe"s and "likely"s. In December-January, something changed and the released reports say there was confirmation that Bin Laden was actually in Abbotabad.<br /><br />Obama had 8 meetings with the NSA regarding the specific Operation Geronimo to kill Bin Laden, according to the press. The first meeting was on March 14. Raymond Davis was released on the 16th but his release was probably secured earlier after the USA paid millions of dollars to the families of the men Davis killed.<br /><br />Sounds very "conspiracy theory" but this is the CIA we're talking about.Sid Ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637319805970344946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473844.post-22642443488879734172011-04-30T02:27:53.077-05:002011-04-30T02:27:53.077-05:00China's economy will overtake the American by ...China's economy will overtake the American by 2016?Pakistan Newshttp://thecurrentaffairs.comnoreply@blogger.com
