IAEA, the hilariously inept body of World atomic energy board of Governors, today got filled with immortal fire and passed a resolution rebuking Iran over it’s nuclear ambitions. Though nothing really changed ’cause Iran said it’s a way of “intimidation,” and that they will carry on.
But on a close look, three countries voted against this motion…Malaysia, a Muslim country, Cuba, well Cuba…and last but definitely not the least…Venezuela, of our great comrade Hugo Chavez, who traditionally does what U.S.A. doesn’t want him to do.
Seems Ironic, when compared to the fact that traditional allies of Iran, Russia and China, also voted for the resolution, along with the U.S.A. and major league Europe.
Here’s a nice analysis

Our Managing Director is ecstatic. Not only ’cause yesterday we got record traffic (Thanks, Neil Boortz!)…even 1 hit from China!…which is a cause for celebration in itself…but also I wrote this post entirely focusing on China and its relation with U.S. and other relevant news snippets. As you know, President Barack Obama’s Asia trip was a public relations disaster…which scoffed both time-tested allies like Israel, and India, but it also resulted in Chinese diplomatic victories on every front…and even snubbing of U.S. suggestions on some points…
Even just a month back, India and the U.S. were training for wars together. The U.S.-India relationship thrived under Bush, and they are a key ally in the War Conflict Against Terror.
Now, in China, Indian media is reporting that Obama’s comments about getting China more involved in the Pakistan are causing controversy.
India and Pakistan have had a tenuous relationship since the 1947 partition of India and the and the Indo-Pakistan War. India has had conflicts with China, too, over border lands, and just this summer, both countries were increasing troop levels on their border.

OBAMA-MAO-OBAMA all week long!
* Everyone remember Muammar Gaddafi? The cartoon who went on to record the longest and most depressingly boring speech in the United Nations general assembly a couple of months back? Also the “chief” of Libya, that man is…this time on a record to depress beauties across Italy…He got a chance to spend a night with lots of babes and he spoiled all by reading Koran! The man’s hilarious…

* We were always in awe of Vladimir Putin, the Russian Prime Minister/President/Chairperson of the communo-nationalists/Ex KGB spy/New age Czar/father of Dmitry Medvedev! He added another performance art to his C.V. this time…hip hop star. Now even the grim Russians have their own version of hip-hop where Putin is now the undisputed champion…
All hail Gangsta Vlad!

All about communist wars this time!
* Annual Venezuelan socialist rhetoric machine, Hugo Chavez, an ardent fan of President Obama for his path breaking U.S. foreign policy, now threatens to rape Columbia, for no reason…

We are back again to haunt you, which we successfully twice did before, and plan to sincerely continue.
In World Watch we keep tabs on the major international developments across the World.
* Silvio Berlusconi, the supremely frivolous man who is famous for banging supermodels, and getting caught, and in his offtime, is the prime-minister of Italy denies everything…as usual…
Berlusconi denies sex scandal in new book
Does he expect to sell his book?
* Who said America is bearing all the burdens of the Afghan war? NATO was very, very disappointed. Everyone was saying that they were escapists, and not sincere in carrying their burden in Afghanistan. They desperately needed to prove…well something…even if killing troops from the same side!
Afghans die in ‘Nato air strike’
* Sorry folks! Next time…we almost had another war with China, doing this…don’t expect more… Continue reading

It’s a weird thing among communists, the infighting that takes place among them. Sino-Soviet border clash, Vietnam-Cambodia rift…and now China lambasted Obama government for the anti-dumping duties on steel pipes, carefully timed a week before President Obama’s visit.
But at last, after ages, they also claimed to be a market economy and wanted Washington to recognize the fact! (That a victory for capitalism, Mr. Chomsky?)
U.S., just out of recession and arrogant again, imposed anti-dumping duties of $2.63 billions, the biggest trade action against China ever. China is now countering this, by launching it’s own investigation against American products, which if goes true, will hit the already in coma car industry of U.S. the most.
