The first gentlement

As the headline claims, Bill Clinton first (...) was president, then he reinvented himself as an international humanitarian, and now Clinton is on the campaign trail on behalf of his wife.

On a whistle-stop tour of Europe, he tells why America should vote Hillary - and what he'll be doing if she gets in.

The great irony of Bill Clinton's international popularity and Hillary Clinton's domestic popularity is that they are due, in no small measure, to the near-universal unpopularity of George Bush. And it doesn't require too many leaps of logic to argue that Bush is only there in the first place thanks to the failures and disappointments of Clinton's time in office, scarred as it was by failures in the Middle East and elsewhere and, of course, by Monicagate.

No more words needed!...they mere politticians!

Farewell Mr Bush!

George W. Bush is a joke!

Now that America is going for presidentials, everyone is saying a joke about Bush, which shows how much American press is also turned against the president.

As the article in "The guardian" shows, the nation joke now is: "What's the difference between Iraq and Vietnam? George W Bush had an exit strategy for Vietnam."

It seems a whole public has turned completely against George W, even in rock solid Republican states. And Lewis Libby, the former chief of staff of the vice-president, has been convicted of perjury and other offences.

Almost after 5 years of war, now American media and nation claims that the invasion of Iraq was "a war not to defend our nation, but to validate an academic theory".

It was about time they understand it! Lets have a change then!

Innocent deaths

The massacre of hundreds of villagers in 1968 that became a symbol for American brutality in the Vietnam war is very much known, but the fact that it is happening again it gives us a ghastly feeling.

This newspaper article is about Marines who may face trial over Iraq massacre as troops had shot 24 unarmed civilians.

If in Vietnam war thousands of Innocent's were killed, in this generation's war, the village is Haditha, north-west of Baghdad, where US marines killed two dozen Iraqi civilians, including 11 women and children.

The ironic part of this war-chronicle is that the Pentagon also fabricated tales about a wounded and captured private, Jessica Lynch, that were later debunked.

People lying in the streets, bleeding, and the ones who watch it are also hurt! Iraqi soldiers come to rescue their people and a little girl shouts saying 'Why did you do this to our family?' And one Iraqi soldier tells, 'We didn't do it. The Americans did.'...

Marines and Civilians

It is interesting how power can remove accusations and moral sense.

The article is on the case against US marines involved in one of the most infamous incidents of the Iraq war, the killing of civilians at Haditha in 2005, which appeared to have fallen apart last night. US marines are likely to avoid murder charges over killing of Iraqi civilians, and a Sergeant may be accused of lesser offence.

Seventeen civilians, including women, children and seven alleged insurgents, were killed at Haditha, about 150 miles north-west of Baghdad, and this has became the incident and the most serious case of an alleged war crime by US troops in Iraq, and yet, everyone is free to go!

Brumas and US

Burma's confrontations and attacks are an international concern and not just a local dilemma.

"The Guardian" website article is about US envoy to meet Burma's leaders.

As we read closely, the most senior US diplomat in Burma was due to meet the regime's leading figures today to deliver a robust message over the brutal crackdown after the government made a surprise offer to talk to detained opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.

When peace is tried to be placed and nothing is agreed apart from deaths of innocents, international action should be done. Maybe now US could actually help... not just with conversations but with aid conducts!

Hilary, me and dupree!

Candidates for US presidency are conscious that anti-Americanism is rising and this image needs to be restored.

As we read in this article, Bill Clinton says that Hillary wants him to restore image of US. If Hillary Clinton wins the US presidency, Bill Clinton will be given the job of repairing America's damaged international reputation.

Mr Clinton says, "ordinary US voters in the heartlands are concerned about who would be most likely to restore America's standing in the world" in the wake of the Iraq war, lack of action on climate change and other policies.

Is the meaning of 'ordinary US voters' the same as 'civilians'? Why using the term ordinary? Don't they normally vote for their choices in their own country? Is just happening now because they realise the type of society they broadcast to the rest of the world?

Far away torture?

In May 2003, an article at "The Guardian" newspaper talked about certain concerns linked to the manner in which US is looking away to the tortures being done to prisoners, especially political prisoners, in Uzbekistan prisons.
An example of this was the sentence of Abdulkhalil, a 28-year-old farmer who was sentenced to 16 years in prison for "trying to overthrow the constitutional structures". After a while, his father had to go to the prison hospital and see how is son had his head battered and tongue swollen because of the lack of water.
Many are victim of Uzbekistan's security service, and an independent human rights groups estimate that there are more than 600 politically motivated arrests a year in Uzbekistan, and 6,500 political prisoners, some tortured to death.
The concerning issue is also that US is funding the condemned! In 2002, Washington gave Uzbekistan $500m (£300m) in aid. Intelligence services and the police are saying that this repeatedly tortures are being used as a routine investigation technique.

... and then they want to fight terror/terrorism...
