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…

* 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

* After the ban on minarets, comes the battle cry…and ironically European and Middle-Eastern press are both equally disgusting…politically correct, that is…
Middle East press sees double standards in Swiss ban
Europe’s press says Swiss ban sends wrong signal

(Or more precisely, British press says Europe’s press says Swiss’s ban sends said signal.)

* Talking about Islamists, here’s the game plan of the Taliban in Afghanistan…
Taliban might just wait til Obama pulls out then wreck havoc

* Continuing the talk on terrorists, here’s what Indian Government did, one good thing after time immemorial…Rejoice Indians, happy times are here again!
India blocks service to millions of handsets

* Remember our good ol’ England? The country of James Bond? Now it’ll be known as the country of London mayor Boris Johnson’s deputy, the suave Ian Clement…who slept with a Chinese spy in a sleazy cheap Beijing room…only difference with Bond is, this guy got drugged and duped badly…
Dry Martini…shaken, not stirred…lots of it…

* Switzerland, brave Switzerland…is the new “Gates of Vienna”…
Where Jihad stops

* On the other hand, after Nuclear reactors and Missile, Iran is building up it’s navy, in clear provocation…(seriously they want nukes? Let’s drop ‘em some nukes…)
Iran gearing up it’s navy…or whatever it has got…

* Another leftist in Latin America, traditionally the vulnerable backyard of the United States. These people are increasing faster than bacterias in some Devonshire swamps!
Red Uruguay from now

* The time of the man who annoyed and offended U.S.A. record times in his lifetimes…is over at last…
Mohammad El-Baradei leaves in disgrace

(Yes, that guy won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize–for his great efforts in halting Iran’s nuclear program, apparently. Shows how worthless the Peace Prize is. Obama practically earned it, considering what El-Baradei accomplished.)

And for those cynics who keep on questioning any kind of Israeli military operations…necessary or otherwise…
Hamas on a new Islamist drive…

* Exactly a year since 11/26, Mumbai. Nothing changed, basically. Same skulduggery by Pakistan, same confusion of U.S.A. and U.K., and same dithering on the part of the Govt. of India. Meanwhile it costs a bloody Rs. 31 Crore ($6,700,000) to keep the terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab alive and secured for trial… in the last year! And you thought the recession was because of economy!
It costs Rs. 31 crore to keep a terrorist alive!

* Talking about Mumbai, here’s a view from one of the most influential Israeli dailies. Israel, by the way, had the highest number of casualties in the terror attack after India, followed by U.S.A. and Britain, when a Jewish Chabad house was specifically targetted by the gunmen.
A year later, the rubble remains in Mumbai

* And this is what Pakistan did…

Weekly rhetoric churner comes up with another timeless classic…this time war monger/socialist motormouth/pet dragon Hugo Chavez threatening to unleash the Venezuelan war machine on U.S. state of …Colombia. That’s right…Colombia, which is a country in itself, and the biggest U.S. ally in the whole of Latin America is the cause of wrath of comrade Chavez, ’cause, well…it’s a U.S. ally.
