Afghanistan: The thriving democracy

Should we really believe that? Especially now that reports are coming out about vote rigging and other election frauds. Is NATO achieving anything there other than creating more misery? Should we not stop being world police and let the locals decide their own fate, rather than telling them what their fate should be from the barrel of a gun?

Self-declared Right-Wing Terrorist

A guy declares himself a right wing terrorist and Rep. Wally Herger of California endorses this terrorist and calls him a "great American." At least this guy admits to being a terrorist and Herger shows his glee to meet the great American unlike Cheney who tries to hide his terrorism behind political rhetorics.

Neo-Cons gone Crazy

What's up with neo-cons? They love to denigrate people. It is disheartening to read how they denigrated Ted Kennedy. They are going after anyone living or dead such as Obama, Kennedy and now going after some news commentators. Are they forgetting about conservative news commentators such as Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and the like who make fools of themselves all the time? Now they are going after Keith Olbermann of MSNBC.

Here is the latest attack on him.

Birthers, teabaggers, KKK. Simply too many crazies on the right. Healthcare reform is needed all the more to take care of these mental cases.

Ted Kennedy: The Champion of Healthcare Reform.

This video is from Keith Olbermann, Countdown, MSNBC.

Ted Kennedy continued to fight for healthcare reform for close to half a century. The US Congress must honour his fight by passing the healthcare reform bill. The suggestion to call it "The Ted Kennedy Healthcare Bill" is a good suggestion.

It is about time that Americans ignore Birthers, Teabaggers and other crazies sponsored by Fox News and the Republican Party, and do something which is right for their country.

The true "Death Panels" are healthcare insurance companies. They look at humans not as humans but tools to make money. If a person is too ill or too old then he/she is not worth spending money on, as insurance companies no longer make money from this person. So if Americans want to get rid of "Death Panels" then get rid of health insurance companies and start on a humane path and go for substantial healthcare reform. Ultimately someday get rid of "Death Panels" altogether, "Death Panels" being private health care insurance companies whose sole objective is to make money.

Premier Wen Jiabao of China Interviewed by Fareed Zakaria of CNN

It is a fascinating interview. Premier Wen Jianbao is a very bright, experienced person and has a great grasp of the international socio-political and economic situation - experience which Barack Obama needs if he wants to deal with the likes of Wen Jianbao or for that matter Putin of Russia.

I was surprised that Jianbao has a very egalitarian view of the world as a community of nations compared to the views of morons like Bush and Cheney and, if I may add, our PM Steve. Canada does deserve much better than Steve and his minions. Unfortunately the alternatives in Canada are not that promising.

This interview is worth watching. It is nominated for an Emmy Award and I think rightly so.

William Calley and Abdel Magrahi case and International hypocrisy


First let us take the case of William Calley. There is no question of him being a mass-murderer. He killed over 500 innocent women and children in the village of My Lai in Vietnam. He admitted to having done it. He was charged, tried and was never put in jail. He is and has been a hero for some Americans. Up to recently he showed no remorse. Now he says he is sorry and that he followed bad orders.

Now let us look at Abdel Magrahi of Libya and the Lockerbie bombing killing 243 passenger including 11 people on the ground. If the allegations against him are true then he is a very despicable individual. However, he has denied involvement to this day. Even Scottish authorities and some relatives of victims believe that there may be others who were involved. So there are some doubts about this man being guilty. I have no specific opinion on him being released. If it was done on purely humanitarian reasons then one feels respect for Scottish authorities and their humanitarianism. However if he was part of some oil and gas deal with Libya then you be the judge that how money rules the justice system and every other aspect of our lives.

Nonetheless the hypocrisy, especially that of the American administration, is remarkable. William Calley goes free and that is okay, however if Magrahi is let go because he is going to die within months anyway because of prostate cancer then it is a mockery of justice according to the FBI Director Robert Mueller. Similar views have been expressed by other high officials including Barack Obama. I believe that America must overcome its hypocrisy if it wants any respect in the world. As long there is such blatant hypocrisy and lack of equal respect for all human beings there will be no peace in this world and without peace we will continue to live in a horrible world.

Finally both massacres were hideous and both parties must be equally punished under international law or under civilized national laws.

Burqini is hard on eyes in France

Nicolas Sarkozy has made it perfectly clear that he does not want women in burqa. He prefers them in the buff. That is why he is so madly in love with Carla Bruni who did pose nude for the world.

I was once on a beach where there were a lot of French families, I saw quite a few ladies in the buff. I will be untruthful if I didn't admit that I had the time of my life ;) I enjoyed this beach more than many others and I am a bit of a beachcomber.

But why can't we get along and respect each other's cultures. Now there is a big controversy over Burqini which covers the whole body except the face and a Muslim woman has been banned from a swimming pool in France because she must be in a regular swimsuit, preferably two piece. The excuse used is that the Burqini is unhygienic. Wow! Really? Can fabric material be infectious? A man or a woman can have a highly infectious disease on their private parts which can be easily covered by regular swimwear. Now are they going to require uncovering that too? So what is the big deal? People may have more germs and fungus on their feet than any other part. Because of these germs on the feet, the surrounding walking areas of pools are rampant with germs and people can easily get fungi disease between their toes. What happened to hygienic there? It is baloney.

What is the difference between a man who forces a woman to undress compared to the one who forces a woman to completely cover-up? In the case of this swimming pool a big scary man was interviewed who wanted a Muslim woman to uncover herself by wearing a traditional French swimsuit – a skimpy two-piece. Don't the women have their opinion too. Why not let them decide? If someone's belief calls for covering up then leave that person alone. Hypocrisy knows no boundaries and is indeed universal.

US Healthcare Reform and the Ugly Face of Racism

The demonstrations against the proposed healthcare reform continue to get more ugly by the day. Quite often protestors are less interested in healthcare reform and more interested in the President's skin colour. It is obvious from their placards. The white separatists, birthers, and teabaggers are out in full force. Some of the leaders are Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. Sarah Palin did her number when she started the business of "Death Panels" that she said Obama will create. It is obvious that it is the dreaded infection of racism. It is a serious and dangerous disease and it is quite often life threatening to those who have it and to the rest of society. These people must be treated as soon as possible before the outbreak gets out of hand.

There are dozens and dozens of pictures of these white supremacists, birthers, and teabaggers, pretending to demonstrate against healthcare reform, on the Internet with pictures of crazy placards. I have taken a few from the Internet and put them in the above composite. That should give you some idea of what I am talking about. As some of the placards read:

Or

Sarah Palin the Healthcare Expert

What is with Sarah Palin? She has really jumped the shark this time when she said that Obama will have "death boards" to decide who lives and who dies. I think Keith Olbermann of MSNBC is right when he said that she does not deserve to hold any public office including that of a Governor.

What Obama is proposing does not come anywhere near the public healthcare system that we have in Canada and we never had such "death boards" that Sarah Palin refers to. May be we should check with Stephen Harper if he has such "death boards". You never know ;)

Canada, if I may say, has a very successful public healthcare system and it is available to everybody. Yes certain procedures which are very expensive and not medically essential may not be available through public healthcare but no one is stopped from such procedures. If the person involved has the money to go to private clinics or go to the US no one is there to stop such a person. So so-called dangers of the public healthcare system is pure fear-mongering and Sarah Palin is good at it. Her statement actually causes terror for those who do not understand public health care. She has tried to tone down from her original statement but it is too little too late. She is simply not fit to hold any public office.

Donald Marshall Jr.: A Life to Remember

I did not know him as such and never met him, although once I had a chance to meet him but I could not attend the function where he was at. Donald Marshall exposed the blatant deficiencies in our justice system and how it operates – especially that of Nova Scotia. That is why capital punishment could be so horrendous as an innocent person could be executed. He was 17 years old when he was put in prison. Donald Marshall spent 11 years of his life in prison for a murder he did not commit and maintained his innocence through all that time and ultimately succeeded to prove himself innocent. However the jail term must have done extraordinary damage to him as part of his remaining life was very troubled.

He never stopped fighting for native rights after he was exonerated from murder allegations. He fought for the fishing rights of Natives all the way to the Supreme Court and won. Because of his jail ordeal and his fights for Native rights, he became an iconic figure and rightly so.

I had the good luck of having a few Native friends over the years and I have the utmost admiration and respect for them. I find my Native friends to be spiritually enlightened, you get that sense when you interact with them. I think Donald Marshall was an extraordinary human being and a great soul. He will be missed by many. May God bless him.

Oh Yes, public healthcare works. For the decades that it has been in practice in Canada, there has not been a single case where a bureaucrat has influenced any kind of medical procedure or treatment. It is universal and available to everybody. And every time a person goes through a very expensive medical procedure his or her taxes do not go up. So the rightwing fear mongering in the US of bureaucrat influencing is baloney. What the U.S has now is private insurance companies driven solely by greed and profit (and they DO influence provision of healthcare in order to maximize their profits).

One did the killing in the Los Angeles area the other did the killing in Iraq and there is the possibility in Afghanistan and Pakistan now - Blackwater now carrying out execution under the name of Xe Services.

John Bolton is Mad

John Bolton, the former US Ambassador to the United Nations under Bush, is very critical of Bill Clinton for making the trip to North Korea. He says it constituted negotiating with the terrorists and giving ransom. We may not like Kim Jong Il but he is head of state of North Korea. The journalists by mistake, or whatever the circumstance were, crossed the border from South Korea into North Korea and were arrested. They were given 12 years hard labour imprisonment and Bill Clinton got them released. And to John Bolton, what is wrong with that?

Bolton should ask the families of Laura Ling and Euna Lee the journalists, how do they feel? He should tell these families that Laura Ling and Euna Lee's lives don't matter and his Bush era misguided and dangerous policies are more important.

Was it not Bolton's party leader who made a much bigger move, in the case of North Korea a sitting US President was not the visitor, but when Nixon visited China. At the time, it was a much bigger standoff between China and the US. Henry Kissinger made many trips to pave the way for Nixon. That one moment might have changed world history when Nixon met Chinese leaders which paved the way for the fall of the iron curtain which brought down the USSR. Someone must tell Bolton that diplomacy does work.

Also, why not release some of the hostages the US is holding at Gitmo. Also the people of Iraq and Afghanistan are being held hostage because of Bush/Bolton policies. Clinton has opened a big door to North Korea to negotiate on other issues such as nuclear proliferation. If the US learns to give some respect to leaders of other nations it may open many more doors compared to gun diplomacy carried out by Bush and the likes of Bolton.
