Global Economy at "point of maximum danger"

SwobyJ — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:47:41 GMT

"If we are lucky, America will start to stabilise before Asia goes down. Should our leaders mismanage affairs, almost every part of the global system will go down together. Then we are in trouble."

I think it is very sad that I, one with no economic experience and no contacts in the global market or business media... saw this coming over a year ago simply by tracking internet 'article comment' (or Youtube comment, etc) trends. You can learn a lot from this place called the 'blogosphere' ...

My thoughts:

Never mind the argument that this court is illegal, it seems that the U.S. government seems adamant to discredit their "war crimes" court at every chance they get. This "documentary" is a clear violation of any trial procedure. Evidence like this in a criminal court would never ...

Progress on Iran Talks

SwobyJ — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 23:29:00 GMT

There cannot be an Iran war - to start this would probably ruin the whole region, and heavily damage the Western world as well. I hope Iran talks it's way out of this, something tells me that the US is being very antagonistic (far more than Iran is).

Arab League backs Sudan against genocide charges

Read Article Here

I think it would be important for the Arab League to remember that the ICC investigation in Darfur, and all resulting arrests, warrants, actions...ect, are mandated by the United Nations Security Council. By doing so, the Council confirms the fact that the Sudanese Judicial System either does not have the capacity to properly judge the Darfur atrocities, or that it will be unwilling to do so. The SC resolution legally obligates Sudanese authorities to cooperate with the ...

Mr Mofaz is one of three deputy prime ministers and the transport minister.

Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Iran's nuclear programme must be stopped by what he termed all possible ...
