Iran

Washington Post: An interesting Editorial by the post, the problems of getting the world to react to President Ahmadinejad and Iran. This is a prediction, War with Iran within a year. Today is 26/9/07 by 26/9/08 the USA and its allies will have attacked Iran. The attack will be done with air power, the attack will come after a failure of Diplomacy to remove the threat of a nuclear Iran. The effects of the strike will have a major effect on the 2008 Elections.

The Truth, Politics and Iraq

Salon: If your a Democrat and want to win the White House in 2008, read this article. The article is to the point, the Congress cant change Bush Policy and it can not afford to go off the cliff with the left wing of the Democratic Party. The article states the following, the Truth and nothing but the Truth, " the Iraq war is no longer going to be waged in the chambers of Congress. The coming battleground instead is the familiar terrain of Ohio and Florida.." The 2008 Election will decide the future of the USA in Iraq.

Titanic Key

To miss quote Mr S. " For a Key a ship that could have been saved " A Key that might have saved the Titanic was sold today for Ninety thousand pounds. Politics come and go, that goes for Presidents and Prime Ministers, but the Titanic is in some respects is forever. Hand on heart can you name the President of the United States in April of 1912 or the UK Prime Minister in April 1912. It was Taft and Asquith but that is the not the point, the Titanic is more than than a object it is part of our common memeory our DNA in some respects.

NYT IS SORRY

Brown and Election!

I might be wrong but I don't think Gordon Brown will call an election, not this year, this is the man who waited and waited to became Prime Minister, polls are good, but I recall 1992. I don't trust the British people to give truth full answers to questions like that, they have became more canny of telling polling people what they want to hear. I could be wrong but I just doubt he will call an election, in less the economy is going to go down the toilet, War with Iran is coming, then all bets are off, quick election before the problems start, but your guess is as good as mine on this issue reader.

Syria and Israel

The New Republic: A very good article by the respected Diplomat, Dennis Ross, on the strike on Syria by Israel, Ross writes the following, " Israel's raid against the Syrian plant reflects the use of a military instrument applied quite selectively to affect the psychologies of many different actors on the world stage. " This means the West is told, if they don't react over Iran Israel will and the Middle East is told, Israel will not wait for a Arab Nation to develop a nuclear bomb.

Clinton on the LEFT

NY Daily News: Very interesting article on how Hillary Clinton has lurched to the left. How this could be trouble next year if Iraq turns around.
