Iran and the Media
Lets have a look at what the Beltway Echo is on Iran.
Boston Globe: One word folks, Appeasement, what an Editorial, like something out of the 1930s. Here is what BG thinks is a good policy, " The threats from Bush and Cheney only make it harder to determine whether there is any deal Iran would accept to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons. " The paper is missing the point, the West should define the deal that protects the interest of the West full stop. To be honest I don't care about the Security of Iran, only within a context of Western Security. Read this editorial to understand the American left, be very afraid for the security of the West if they had any influence of American Foreign Policy.
Washington Post: The post hits the nail on the head, " Iran has become the new Iraq " Hillary Clinton is smart enough to know that she cant box herself in as a peace nick when it comes to Iran or the 2008 election is over. Those that oppose her from Obama to Edwards wont win, that is the hard fact, the press wont say it, they need a political race, they have to justify their bar pills. The Liberal Media Elite in its own way because it hates the Bush Administration beyond its hatred of Richard Nixon wants to box in the next President, they want a Democratic President. Hillary Clinton I hope wont play their silly game, as possibly the next President she might have to deal with Iran and take military action.

Iran Sanctions
BBC: Reports the USA will place sanctions on the Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and other assets, military to economic. These should be smart sanctions, we don't want another reply of the BBC showing the sanctions hurting the people of Iran. These sanctions should hurt the government structure and their assets. This has some recall of what happened with Iraq, but Bush does not have have decade to change the administration in Iran. If the sanctions don't work, then a major naval blockaded of Iran must be considered. This should have a limited time span. If the Government or the people fail to react then a heavy limited Strikes should take place within Iran. The Clock has started and it is not early in the process, time for peace is not long, there can only be one winner and that has to be the West.
NATO and Afghanistan
BBC: Reports that NATO countries are to give more support to the NATO mission. I want their troops to take some of the burden, fed up with the UK and the USA doing the heavy lifting. Our troops are in constant battle, but it seems we have been shafted ( VIEWS HAS VERY STRONG VIEWS ABOUT THIS MISSION ) by our supposed friends. This is the time for Europe to get off its backside and help.
Thatcher and Reagan
Margaret Thatcher Foundation: Has links to many documents that cover the Thatcher - Reagan period. To this day VIEWS is surprised that the BBC had not done a show on these very important and interesting documents.
Vietnam Records
A interesting site for a curious reader. Previous secret files from the Vietnam Era. It is from the past that we can learn about the present and future.
