Dateline Egypt: The Facebook Generation vs. the 20th Century
What strikes me most strongly is that this Tunisnian, now Egyptian event is part a bigger grander major shift on the global political techtonics. This Facebook generation of Eqyptians are nothing like the past. They speak and quote Martin Luther King and seek American style freedom and liberty. Many speak English and want to live in the global world. Yet our own US Government seems stuck between the 20th and 21st century, between what was and what is to come and it's starting to look like we are missing the history boat. Maybe we are on the wrong side of historicial? Maybe the future is here and we can't see it through our 20th century eyes?

ALLEN ROLAND: OBAMA STILL DOESN’T GET THE MESSAGE FROM 2008
Here is a recent quote from President Barack Obama to reporters after he and congressional Republicans pledged warily to seek common ground on tax cuts and reducing spending in their first meeting since the midterm elections and where Obama apologized to the Republicans for not being more cooperative."The American people did not vote for gridlock. They didn't vote for unyielding partisanship. They're demanding cooperation and they're demanding progress. "

India: HOLLOWNESS EXPOSED!
By Air Commodore Iqbal:
Yet once again, American calculus is faulty; premium placed on India is unrealistically inflated. Indian government would once again avail the opportunity and accrue short term benefits. Long-time sufferer is a common rural Indian, destined to live in poor social security and food insecurity environment for an indefinite time. For quite some time, stability of this region is likely to stay hostage to reinforced Indian arrogance.

Woodward Book Exposes Obama Team’s Internal Afghanistan War Battles
Some of the critical players in President Obama’s national security team doubt his strategy in Afghanistan will succeed and have spent much of the last 20 months quarreling with one another over policy, personalities and turf, according to a new book. The book, “Obama’s Wars,” by the journalist Bob Woodward, depicts an administration deeply torn over the war in Afghanistan even as the president agreed to triple troop levels there amid suspicion that he was being boxed in by the military. Mr. Obama’s top White House adviser on Afghanistan and his special envoy for the region are described as believing the strategy will not work.
President Obama Encourages Troops and Veterans to Claim ‘Stop Loss’ Pay
Today, the White House, Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs jointly released a new web video in which President Obama encourages active duty troops and veterans whose service in Iraq or Afghanistan was involuntarily extended or retirement was suspended due to ‘stop loss’ to apply for the special retroactive pay to which they are entitled. Under legislation President Obama signed into law last year, servicemen and women who served between September 11, 2001 and September 30, 2009 and whose service was extended due to ‘stop loss’ are eligible for $500 per month in retroactive pay for each month their service was extended.

The American Selective Sensitivity to the Mosque and to Israel
But then why did not the same sincere and patriotic Americans accuse a long line of politicians and presidents of the united states of being Zionists and cover up accomplices to a 60 year of committing war crimes and genocide against Palestinians?
