Helen Thomas retires

It’s official: Helen Thomas has retired from the job she has had for nearly 60 years. As you might remember, Thomas criticized Israel by saying it’s citizens should go back to Poland and Germany.

I have a great idea. Maybe Miss Thomas can move to Iran and write about the Iranian government. I’m sure her views would be very popular with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

How peaceful were the passengers in the flotilla?

According to the quote at the end of the video, the peaceful activists on board the ship were not surprised to encounter a problem, and were prepared for martyrdom. Their intention seemed to be to provoke Israel. According to several reports, Israeli soldiers were attacked, and after seeing this clip, I have no doubt those reports are true.

Hypocrisy: Mexico criticized for mistreatment of migrants

Mexico's treatment of migrants has been criticized by Amnesty International

The Mexican government has criticized Arizona for passing a law which would essentially enforce federal immigration laws. Mexico, which often assists its huddled masses in escaping its economic wasteland for the promise to be found in the United States, lacks credibility on the issue.

Barack Obama’s Russian blunder

The Obama administration has signed an agreement with Russia which would remove observers from factories which manufacture long-range missiles. The administration claims that it isn’t their fault. The agreement was supposedly reached during George W. Bush’s Presidency and they had to comply.

The question isn’t whether Bush or Obama are responsible for this horrible decision, it’s whether Bush and Obama are to blame, or just Obama. Russia removed its observers from the U.S. 8 years ago when production of these missiles ceased. On the other hand, missile production has been on-going in Russia and shows no signs of stopping. » read more

Iran to build 10 more Uranium enrichment plants

It looks like Iran is planning on building 10 more uranium enrichment plants that will equal the size of its largest facility in Natanz. Iran wants their rights as a sovereign nation respected, which is understandable, but they should realize that a certain level of responsibility (and sanity) is expected from their leaders.

Iran’s lawmakers claim that their supposedly unfair treatment is politically motivated. Isn’t this the same country that allegedly sent weapons to Iraq that were used against U.S. soldiers, threatened to “wipe Israel off the map,” and denied that the Holocaust occurred?
