US, British, Iranian insanity
Times of London – June 23, 2009:
Students are planning a mass demonstration outside the British Embassy in Tehran today, warning that it could trigger a repeat of 1979, when students stormed the US Embassy and held 52 diplomats hostage for 444 days.
Seems to me that western media is trying to turn Tehran into Tiananmen Square while most Iranians would seem to prefer avoiding a repeat of the 1953 overthrow of Mossadeq and subsequent installation of the Shah.
Obama Won’t Apologize For CIA Role In Chile
President Obama today met with Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, who told Mr. Obama he is “an idol” in her country. In a bit of evidence supporting that assertion, members of the Chilean press asked the president for a group photo, a request the president granted. (That picture is at left.)
The event was not simply a love fest: Asked by a reporter if he wanted to apologize for CIA involvement in Chilean elections, Mr. Obama did not do so.
Behave or be zapped: Portland police plan Taser trial period

Government employee lauded for doing his job
Portland Officer Hailed A Hero – WMTW – June 18, 2009
A Portland police officer, who prevented what could have been a tragedy, was honored by the state Thursday morning.
“He reached down. It was a convertible car, he reached down into the car and loaded ammo, then I came out and engaged him and had him drop it. I asked him what he was here to do and what he replied and what I assumed at that point was he was going to kill people,” said Black.
A police officer may have prevented one or more murders or attempted murders. Isn’t that the job of a peace officer? Perhaps state agents who actually protect individual rights instead of infringing upon them are such a rarety these days that a celebration of heroism is called for to recognize the unusual nature of said events.

Ted Rall: Obama should resign
And then what, we get Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi. No significant policy would be altered in the slightest. Window dressing would be swapped out and swept under by the state media apparatus.

US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive
London Telegraph – June 12, 2009:
The government looking at expanding a pioneering scheme in Flint, one of the poorest US cities, which involves razing entire districts and returning the land to nature.
Local politicians believe the city must contract by as much as 40 per cent, concentrating the dwindling population and local services into a more viable area.
Dick Cheney: Iraq not involved with 9/11 attacks
Dick Cheney informs the world what most of it already knew.
D. CHENEY: Correct, but on the question of whether or not Iraq was involved in 9/11, there was never any evidence to prove that.
GOP partisans will claim Cheney’s statement is strategery designed to help defeat the Democrats before they destroy America.
