Bush, France and the World

Washington Post: A very interesting article that looks how the new French President has changed the agenda, no longer appeasement to threats, how this helps Bush with Iran. Must Read.

Russian Revolution

BBC: Reports that the Missing bones of two children of the Last Tsar of Russia have been found. The bones of Alexei and Maria where missing from the rest of the family. The case is now closed, 1918 - 2007.

Iran

New York Times: Today the United States Senate urged the Bush Administration to state that the Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran is a terrorist group. The Democrats are so afraid of the left they dithered so the got a water down resolution. NYT cant help itself goes on about the need for diplomatic talks, we have had that with Europe, its all hot air, very much like the NYT these days.

British Political Blogs Update

Update of British Blogs that are a must read:

Gudio: Has the result of the Conservative Race to be the candidate to fight K.L for Mayor. Its Mr Politics/Media himself, Boris Johnson. This will be fun race.

Iain Dale's Diary: Has an interesting story that Alex Salmond, yes that Alex Salmond of Scotland and Westminster might run against Gordon Brown if he calls an election. Agree with Iain on this why enter a fight you cant win, plus he is First Minister of Scotland. GB would have fun fighting him, would be a Brown landslide.

Iran

New York Times: Interesting article that looks at the problem of dealing with Iran, how to cut off its aim of developing a nuclear bomb and the different methods that can be used from Economic to the last resort of Military. Of course for the Times it cant help itself, it wants to compare Iran to the old USSR thus the policy of containment. Don't recall any Soviet Leader stating he wanted to remove Israel from the face of the earth. Poor Times so sold out.

WSJ: A very critical view of the Bush policy via Iran. A lot of tough talk but not a lot of action. This has gone on for years. The Editorial States the following, " If the President believes half of what he and his Administration have said about Iran's behavior, he has an obligation to do whatever it takes to stop it. " As I have predicted the USA will attack Iran within the year.

New York Times: Poor NYT, one the one hand it can see Iran is a problem but in its hearts of heats it does not want to do anything, sole answer further talks, what does it think Europe as been doing for years. How a great Paper has fallen.

New York Post: The Article states the Truth, " Nothing the United Nations has to say - by way of resolutions, or even sanctions - will deter Tehran from its nuclear program. " This is a time for action from the West.

Iraq

Some interesting articles that have caught my eye:

The Politico: Argues that the Democrats could do more to end the war if not in fact but in symbolic gestures. Simple reason they don't they don't have the votes and they could lose votes. They would like to keep Congress in the next election. One does does hear the embers of the 1960s generation, the ones that never got over the fact that they got it wrong.

The Politico: How the Democrats have failed to move the Republicans on Iraq. When you sell your soul to the left don't expect any sympathy, your not going to get any from VIEWS.

Rather Again!! Part 1

New York Post: In the UK News Anchors don't give their own views on international events or on the whole critical of those that have had their jobs. It seems theses rules don't apply to Katie Couric, of late she has been critical of President Bush and of Dan Rather. When your not No 1 in the news ratings I guess you have to take cheap shots to get some press attention.
