When you start to read between the lines between the posturing of the USA and the posturing of Edward Snowden, you are seeing that Edward Snowden is holding his ground while the US Government seems to have it’s hands in it’s pockets while looking at the ground in the classic ‘Got Busted’ posture and attitude. That basic body language says a lot and tends to refine the reason the US is so determined about getting Snowden. Continue reading Post ID 14366

US courts political factor Part 3
In part 3 we will look at how the US justice system is seen by other governments and by the accused fighting extradition.

US courts political factor Part 2
As we continue to examine the US justice system, we now turn our attention to the practice of witch hunts. That is simply done by the assumption of guilt and loading up with accusations be they founded or not, all in an attempt to get a conviction. Continue reading Post ID 14366

American arrogance fuel for anger
American arrogance is well known around the world. The feeling that the American way is the best way is the driving force behind the arrogance.

The wrong thing to say
After people reach a certain level of maturity and level of intelligence they understand there is a right thing to say, and there is a wrong thing to say. There is also a right time to say things as well as a wrong time. But when it comes to some people, both of these examples of maturity and intelligence fly way over their heads and they say something that amounts to trying to catch the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs with their bare hands.

Witness to fanatical behavior
There is hardly a person that has not heard of the fallout from the almost burned Quran (Koran) in Florida. Riots, people dying and more in a variety of places.

Quran (Koran) burning provides Afghanistan reality check
It is amazing how one very small church in Florida that threatened to burn the Quran (Koran), provided such a very clear picture of the mental state of the Afghanistan people. It very quickly cut past what the US government would like people to believe and gave a reality check on just how tough things are. Continue reading Post ID 14366

Pakistan’s crisis and the Osama bin Laden factor
It has been reported many times in the news that Osama bin Laden is hiding in Pakistan and that the Pakistan government probably knows where he is. So is there any real wonder why there has been a huge lack of private donations for disaster relief from the countries that see Osama bin Laden at the very top of the most wanted list.

Ground zero mosque
For Americans this is just one of those things where the laws of the land seem in error. This is not the first time it has happened as it is frequent in communities where religion and state tends to blend or clash in ways the Constitution frowns on. But in this case while troops are fighting and dying as a result of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, it spark strong feelings from coast to coast. Continue reading Post ID 14366
