There is no shortage of people who will do an analysis of the political situation in Thailand. Some are good, and some tend to mix their own (what would I do) into their analysis. The only way to have a reasonable level of accuracy is when analyzing a sick mind you must mimic the sick mind. [Read more →]
It is becoming very obvious that sooner or later there will be significant political changes in Iran. Between the street protests that were spawned by the rigged presidential elections, and the United Nations up in arms about nuclear arms, to say the heat is on is an understatement. [Read more →]
In some disaster movies there is an ingenious idiot that seems to bypass or disable some safety feature or failsafe causing a horrendous catastrophe. As with all good movies, they have their basis in reality, and in Copenhagen during the last chance climate summit we may have just seen that happen. [Read more →]
