Bombs and Dollars – American Foreign Policy Blog – China, Afghanistan, Pakistan

Today was the 8th anniversary of the attack on the Indian Parliament, which almost sparked a war between India and Pakistan. Lots of things happened, as usual. Media, as we know, loves anniversaries. So do politicians. (Apparently so does Bombs and Dollars.) But the question still remains: Are we safer? Is the security setup of our notoriously forgetful countrymen and it’s leaders improved? Most importantly…was justice done?

Leader pay tribute

For the uninitiated, here’s a brief case history…

and the official statement…

* Iran and Syria, signs mutual defense pact, to face common enemy together. Merry Christmas, Israel…
Iran and Syria love Israel so much, that they want many pieces of it, to divide among themselves

* 32 millions have already taken the Whine Flu vaccine in China. Only a few billions more left.
Just a matter of patience

* Tony Blair, back from the dead, and all saintly now…
Oh Noes!!!

* The next big cartoon of Blogosphere, with the most hilarious piece of investigative journalism so far. Continue reading

* Swiss leftists. They are there, still, to protest the ban on minarets in Switzerland. A group of twenty intellectuals,(intellectuals who I presume watch movies made by Roman Polanski) formulated action plan to tackle the ban against minarets, even though it was passed by a margin of 57% vote. And they are an “association of bad losers,” according to Swiss conservatives…and the Gaddafi dude of Libya said that Swiss are playing with fire, and Iran called for repercussions…place your bets folks, it’s gonna be one hell of a drama…
Swiss leftists supports Islamists

Breaking news: Russia, though, supports the ban…
But Russia doesn’t

* Talking about intellectuals, Human rights group and internationally acclaimed comedy show (possibly leftist minded), now says that Martial law should not take long in Philippines to tackle MILF rebels. Ironically, not a single word was said about the scores of victims killed in the Islamist rebel attack a couple of weeks ago, including women, children, journalists, and neutral election observers…whose rights were evidently violated…fatally…
Thankfully there were no Human Rights groups when the NAZIs were beaten

* Al-Jazeera is all giddy and orgasmic about communist Morales… Continue reading

President Pratibha Patil, the youthful 74-year-old head of state of India, made history earlier this week by flying a Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter jet for an unbelievable 40 minute sortie from the Indian Air Force base at Pune, India. By doing this she made history by being a woman, as well as the oldest individual, to have done this feat, which has possibly not been done in the World ever before…

She was on a solidarity tour of the Indian Forces a couple of days before one full year of the Mumbai Terror attacks. In a move much appreciated by the Indian media, our First Granny had to give a tiresome physical test, before getting in the jump-suit for the sortie…

President Patil also pitched hard for women pilots in the defense forces in the press conference afterward, which in India is still a mostly male dominated affair.

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
