This article was very thought provoking. We do need to analyze a situation before we react and that is something many of us forget.

Comment on Merkozy, a Beautiful Friendship by Mitchell Hoke

There’s so much information out there on this topic, especially if you read French or German. With such a solidification of this union between the heads of these states, I am very much excited to see what happens if Hollande wins the election.

If you’re more interested in how this effects this US, consider why Obama has not made too many comments concerning Merkozy or how this could change Europe’s relation with the US. For more related to this last note: http://www.economist.com/node/21551102

Comment on Gendercide Culture by Dr Khurana

Dr Khurana — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 05:16:20 +0000

It is estimated that about 50 million girls have gone missing. They are aborted based on their sex. India has passed laws 18 years ago making it illegal for a medical practitioner to reveal the sex of an unborn baby. This law is rarely implemented because most of the government officials and judiciary are apathetic to this epidemic. This has caused the sex ratios to be extremely skewed in certain parts of India. Please read the following articles and the story of one lone woman, Dr Mitu Khurana, who has bought a case against the hospital, her husband and in- laws, who illegally found out the sex of her unborn twin baby girls and then tried to force her to have an abortion. She has been given the run around for four long years by the Indian judicial system.

Can anyone give a voice to the 50 million girls that have been silenced forever? All Dr. Khurana is asking for is a chance to go before an unbiased judge and be heard. Can we all give a voice to the 50 million murdered and raise the question with Indian officials as to why they are silently witnessing the elimination of a whole generation. The silence of the Indian officials tell the story and makes us wonder if Dr. Khurana and the 50 million dead baby girls will ever see justice done. Please give those 50 million girls silenced forever, a voice. Please forward this to as many friends as possible.

Comment on A Catalyst for Change: Venezuela Elections by ChavistasCZ

Yes, genocide and murdering like during Perez “democratical” and “freedom” governing is ideal of corrupted opposition. You and your “capitalist ideals” sent millions Venezuelans to poverty. From 2000 to 2010, HDI of Venezuela rised more then from 1980 to 2000!
Are you from Venezuela? Are you liar? Venezuela is one of few states which completed “Millenium Goal of UN” and rapidly dropped down poverty (50%) and extreme poverty (down about 75%). When Chavez became president, In Venezuela was 8% of child malnutrition. Now it is only 3%. Debt of Venezuela dropping down. With CELAC cooperation and Orinoco belt project, Venezuela became one of richest and most developed countries in world, but opposition fighting against Orinoco project. They want to be slaves of USA. Chavez is tyrannical ruler? Thats why still Venevision and Globovision which participated in 2002 criminal coup still exist and open-air their fascist demagogy? RCTV also still exist, but now its only on cabel-sattelite. If Chavez is tyrannical ruler, how could opposition even exist? I living in Czech Republic and tyrannical communist regime (Chavez IS NOT COMMUNIST!) murdered thousands peoples here, just like Perez in Venezuela. In communist tyrannical rule, there was not any good organised opposition. In Chavez “tyrannical rule”, there is 200 free political parties, free medias, free opposition… and do not forget, OpenNetInitiative reported internet in Venezuela is much more freedom then in USA!
And what about racist “anti-zambo” campaings used by opposition against Chavez? What shall opposition do now when leading candidate of opposition is Dutch-Russian Jew? Hah! Good luck, baby and when you do everything to fail in elections, start cry about Chavez dictatorship and fraud votes, bue bue bue.
