    When karachi in Pakistan exploded and Bombarded,that killed civilians last few Months,It must be the Work of Indian Nationalist Terrorist,This Week in Mumbai,people get killed in bombardment and exploded ,Its Obviously the Work of Pakistan Separatist Terroirist,When Civilian people Died in the Street of Jerusalem,It must be Work of Palestine Terrorist,When People died in Gaza or West Bank ,Its definately the work of Israelis Terrorist....Some even created OWN Explosion to disguise Others to getting attention and start Political Blaming on others .......This is much worst from Cold War.....USA must not be "Wild Goose or Turkey" changing fast "Supports" for his Position when moments like this Happening,USA must be smarter and stay Out of this stupid civil Conflicts.Specially when these Countries secretly Habouring their Own Terrorist for Political agenda.If USA Government MAKES preferences ,the Real Victims,always the Innocent average American Public by becoming Targets anywhere they're of these Devils.

    How on earth USA can be regards as the Peace "NEUTRAL NEGOTIATOR" on behalf of WORLD for "ISRAELIS -PALESTINE CONFLICTS " When its Jewish Senator -Joe-Liberman act as Chairman of Homeland Security Committee in Senate Presiding the Matters?

    As to the nature of the insurgency, even the president recognizes that some, perhaps a good number, represent nationalist forces who simply resent the occupation: Lieberman, however, disdains them all as "terrorists," "revanchists," and "Islamic extremists." To blame the insurgents alone for the civil war is to blank out the reality of Shi'ite death squads striking in the south and central regions of Iraq, instituting a veritable reign of terror; it is to ignore Kurdish ultra-nationalists intent on driving Arabs off their land. Lieberman somehow fails to mention any of this.

    Nothing like adding insult to injury Mr. Bush. For eight years you have arrogantly and boldly, belligerently and obnoxiously lied to justify, rationalize and disguise everything. You pressured the intelligence community to give you justification while you ignored all the information that countered your private intents against Iraq and in the process practically abandoned the pursuit of bin Laden and el Qaeda; you constantly, aggressively pursued a private agenda in everything while unconscionably disregarding your responsibilities. You have brazenly focused on benefit for Special Interests and a select few, even bragging that you will quickly pass your father and Bill Clinton in wealth from after office compensation (kickbacks), while literally creating and/or adding to all of the problems and simply completely neglecting America???s best interests. You have done all of it (the injury) without any conscience or hesitation and now have the nerve to offer the deceptive rhetoric (the insult) that you were surprised and unprepared for the war, that you have honestly done your best for the American people and that you have always had real values that you totally maintained. Mr. President you have been the worst president this country has ever had and boldly demonstrate a personality that is totally self-indulgent and really lacks any conscience. Hopefully history will fully identify who you have really been, which is a sociopathic puppet who tried to con the world as you pursued the interests of the few who pulled your strings.

    Yeah, I got a "new" strategy. How about using manned aircraft to destroy the madrossa's, the camps, and letting us hunt down dogs like Hekmatyr and Haqqani? Tell the P-stani's to stay outta the way or we will lite you up too. I have lost count of the incidents involving Talibs/AQ and P-stani FC or army fighting US soldiers. We engage the T-ban/AQ, the FC or Army units help THEM. We are getting played, ripped off. Pres. Obama, let us off the leash, and you will get ur victory. R. 1st BCT, A-stan

      this "strategy" goes well above and beyond hunting terrorists in caves and mountain ranges. this is talking about an altogether bigger picture of the world community and our role within it. i applaud your service i really do, your more of a man than myself for putting your life on the line for your country and your beleifs, but there are bigger problems than terrorists. and in many ways i am sad to say that simply because there are mothers, brothers, father, sons, and daughters getting killed because of terrorism. but if we start addressing the bigger problems, like the countries governments that allow these snakes to hide in they're backyards, then we will see progress. the more people die, the more that people will want to kill... there are new answers for a new era. we want to win the war against terror? then we must entice the people to stop harboring them. we must show them that they have been opressed by terrorist, led and live by fear, having the common folks land decimated for a terror groups cause. we nee to show them that there is a better way of life and it doesnt necassarily lay in building a democracy or walmarts and McDonalds in pakistan. but schools, roads, stable income, food, simple ammenities for these backcountry pakistani and afghani residents. freedom from terrorists coming into town and forcing recruitments, forcing people to let them hide out...theres more than one way to get the job done and declare "victory"...and if we havent figured out that evil bigets evil, hate breeds hate, violence leads to more violence then its time to wake up. we need to win the hearts and minds of people through gesture, not gunfire, not missle attacks that result in the unnumbered, unnamed thousands of deaths of innocents (that in the end becomes a terror groups strongest recruitment tool against us). all together, there are better, cheaper, more peaceful ways to get the job done. use force when necassary, but dont necassarily use force.

      thats just my opinion...

    Remember there are various types of Power. Actually US can regain some power, unlike predicted by the 2025 Trends, if it can change a few of its behavior. That includes humility (No, i'm not asking to surrender to AQ), recognition that the world doesnt begin with NY & ends at CA, being an honest peace broker, reducing the power of various lobbies (Political, Economic etc).

    Pia, A note on the way out. Florida, to me was an easy call. Hillary would have won it easily over McCain in the general and Barack in the primary. When the McCain camp started to claim they would get the Hillary vote after Barack won the Primary, I just laughed. Hillary policies and beliefs are 180 degrees out from those of the dried up old Republican party. How could they have possibly thought we would change our values and hook up with the Hate party? Did they think Sarah Palin or maybe Joe the plumber would impress us? this was a perfect example of the McCain stadegy. Did they try to convince ups that McCain was worthy? No! They tried to use lies and distortions of the relationship between Barack and Hillary. Didn't work out too well for them did it? bye for now

    Pia, you do a marvelous job! Your comments are on point and true. Your replys are instant, not like JoseMarti or Leeholmes who had to get their Limbaugh update before replying to a post, too funny! I left you off the list because you do things in a more dignified way. They don't know you've filleted them until they see the blood. The other three of us are "in your face" types.

    • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 12/02/2008 10:00:54 AM

      R, very kind of you but I was kidding in my post below. I am too uninformed in politics to do any serious @ kicking to anyone! You and Doc and Harley and 40YearR and a few others do excellent! All I do is cheer you guys and try to spread some good will.

  • Posted By: Repubssuck @ 12/02/2008 9:41:28 AM

    Hi Pia, Bella says hello. On our way to the park. We're very happy here in Florida that Hillary got ythe job she wanted. Well, maybe it was her second choice. We feel rewarded for all of our hard work in delivering Florida for President Obama and will do it again by a larger margin. in 2012. I live in Broward county near fort Lauderdale and we're Democrats by a large margin here. President Obama won the state by 200,000 plus which is the same margin as he won by in Broward. that means he won by a small margin without us. That is a tremendous accomplishment when we take into acciunt that we are almost evenly split here in the state. For the first time since Bill Clinton, places like Tampa and Orlando went Democrat for president. This year, in contrast to the close Bush/Kerry and Bush/Gore elections. next time the margin will be larger here and in the new blue states like Ind., N.C. Ohio and Va. We almost certainly add a few states we almost won this year. It probably sounds like i advocate a one party system, I don't. I just think it's essential that we cast out the Party of Hate. The party of Limbaugh, Dick Morris, Sean Hannity, Mary Matelin, Babe Buchanon, Pat Robertson and Tom Delay has no place in government. I believe the Moderate Republicans will regroup in a new party that promotes peaceful conservative values without the hate and will be a viable second National party. There's no looking back for them, the hate is too engrained to change. a new party with a new direction is critical.

    • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 12/02/2008 9:52:55 AM

      Hey R! Thanks for your comments.

      I was so excited when Obama won Fla! Like everything else in this election, you called it!

      About these men, Sean Hannity and Rush, they know nothing about politics. As for Bay Buchanan, I think she's Pat dressed in drag! Lol. Really though, are these two twins?

      Enjoyed your comments...have a good run in the park...hug Bella for me, thanks..

  • Posted By: Repubssuck @ 12/02/2008 9:19:36 AM

    You dried up old Republicans just can't handle anyone who returns fire with more accuracy than you. That's why President Obama turned so many Red States Blue. the lies, hate and distortion spread by the GOP party of hate never got off the ground. Every attack was repeled and returned tenfold. Guys like DocHowl, Harley and myself can kick a GOPer up and down the road all day long. You have nothing to offer. Even a barking dog has more relevence. Marcel Marceau has more to say than you. In 2020 the Republican National Convention will be held in a Louisana Redneck Truck Stop!

    davelnaf, All countries have put their interests first and we don't know what they're thinking at any given time. Who is REBUBSSUCK? I'm the same guy that predicted the collapse of the GOP for the last year or so. A former Hillary supporter in Florida who went to President Obama after the primary. Donated to both, worked for both and voted for President Obama in FLORIDA on Nov. 4th. Who are you would be a better question? If you're a Republican you cease to be a relevent voice in political opinion.

    • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 12/02/2008 9:14:17 AM

      GM R! You did predict it and you were right about everything.

  • Posted By: Repubssuck @ 12/02/2008 8:28:25 AM

    Sharenews, You're so full of beans, it laughable. Who in the world would care what Republicans say anymore. The Grand Old (and i do mean OLD) Party has withered and died and it's dust is nlowing in the wind. Do everyone a favor and blow away with it. In 2010 the Democrats will gain 3 to 5 Republican Senate seats with more to follow in 2012, when we re-elect President Obama. By 2016 the GOP will exist only to compete in a close race with the Independent Party for second place. By 2020, the party will be only a past memory. "Sow the Wind and Reap the Whirlwind", was a passage in the novel, Tai Pan The Republican Party sowed Hatred and reaped destruction.

    "OBAMA "HAS HIS DREAM TEAM""(eddiewhere 2008).. I am surprise that no one has used this term. I am sure I will hear it tomorrow. OBAMA HAS SELECTED HIS DREAM TEAM. THIS TEAM HAS ALL STAR CREDENTIALS. EACH OF THEM ARE HALL OF FAMERS. HILLARY, GATES, RAHM.
    HOPEFULLY, THIS DREAM TEAM WILL KEEP THEIR EYES ON THE REAL THREAT RUSSIA AND CHINA. These two countries have already launched a very successful CYBER WAR against AMERICA. They are able to spy on our networks and steal our technological secrets and our patented software.
    RUSSIA, INDIA AND CHINA ARE THE SUPERPOWERS OF THAT SIDE OF THE WORLD. They are the key to a multinational strategy. Managing these realtionships is like walking a tight rope(eddiewhere 2008). China and India are always at odds and have a delicate relationship to say the least. I know ZaKaria wrote an article on this relationship six months ago. He needs to write another one.
    Another situation that needs to be monitored closely is ORGANIZED CRIME IN EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY when it comes to cyber crime and nuclear weapons. These Eastern European countries are a potential conduit for passing NUKES to terrorists.

    These Terrorists will be based in the Five MUSLIM breakaway REpublics in Central ASIA( Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistanan) . They can potentially form an alliance with China, who has a long history of strained relationships with INDIA. To the MUslims India is an enemy and a traitor. Remeber how Hitler rose to power, a depressed economy in EUROPE. THESE REPUBLICS in Central Asia have all the same elements.. Russia and CHina will form an alliance based on their mutual FRICTION with INDIA(WHO IS CHALLENGING TO BE THEY PREMIER SUPERPOWER IN ASIA).

    LOOSE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS IN EASTERN EUROPE CAN GAIN ACCESS to them and sell them to terrorists.
    THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE 5 MUSLIM STATES IN CENTRAL , AND CHINA IS A Big Threat.

    "OBAMA IS NOW THE WORLD"S FIRST PRESIDENT" eddiwhere 2008.. CAN HE SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE RELATIONSHIPS WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA INORDER TO PREVENT THESE FIVE MUSLIM REPUBLICS FROM SLIPPING DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO ECONOMIC DEPRESSION. ONCE AGAIN REMEMBER HOW HITLER ROSE TO POWER A DEPRESSED ECONOMY IN GERMANY WHO WAS TORCHERED ECONOMICALLY AFTER WORLD WAR ONE BY THE ALLIES RUSSIA, FRANCE AND BRITAIN. RUSSIA IS DOING THE SAME TO ITS FORMER REPUBLICS UKRAINE ect.....

    OBAMA IS LIKE THE COACH OF THE DREAM TEAM(BASKETBALL) TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT HE HAS A PLAN TO MAKE JORDON, BIRD AND MAGIC WORK TOGETHER AS ONE FORCE TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. OR LEBRON, KOBY AND PAUL PIERCE. I AM SURE HE CAN AND WILL DO JUST FINE AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE THE ENVY OF THE WORLD AGAIN.

    OBAMA HAS HIS DREAM TEAM AND ALL THE TOOLS FOR A MUCH NEEDED GLOBAL STRATEGY.

  • Posted By: aaronjlevitt @ 12/01/2008 6:02:41 PM

    Mr. Zakaria has hit the nail on the head. Our national interest is not in preserving a unipolar world order (which, for better or worse, we simply can't do), but in managing the transition away from that system to ensure maximize our well-being in the multi-polar order that is emerging (which we can do, and must).

  • Posted By: 2178743 @ 12/01/2008 9:41:06 AM

    I dispute the notion that the United States needs to gain a better reputation around the world. The goal of the US should not be to get others to like us. Also, we are not at war with the world. We are engaged in an ongoing war against terrorism, which is alive in well (as we learned in Dubai). Don???t forget we had eight years of Clinton getting along with everyone. That did not spare us the first World Trade Center attack, or, obviously, September 11. My parents always taught me that you cannot make everyone happy and that I should not live my life trying to fit into what is popular. I pass that wisdom on to Barrack Obama. Protect the country and its interests at all costs.

    • Posted By: LMills259 @ 12/01/2008 5:16:05 PM

      The reason we need to cooperate better, as Zakaria makes clear, isn't to make people like us. It's because we will no longer dominate - that's a hard truth. We need to cooperate because we can no longer dictate the terms. Instead, if we want the best slice of the pie we can get, we need to rebuild relationships. Why? Because it's the only option.

    • Posted By: citizen of the post-American world @ 12/01/2008 3:04:32 PM

      "I dispute the notion that the United States needs to gain a better reputation around the world." -- I suggest you refer to the results of international polls on how the US is perceived abroad (e.g. Pew's). As an American, you may then find useful to peruse, once more,: "How to Make Friends and Influence People".

  • Posted By: LMills259 @ 12/01/2008 5:08:55 PM

    Actually, folks, Mr. Zakaria is talking about issues that make "Repubs vs Dems" look quite small. Stretch your mind a little - it won't hurt too much - and look at something really interesting: the notion that the zenith of U.S. power is behind us, but we have a fleeting chance to set the framework of a world where, although we are no longer the most powerful, we can still be the most influential. The world is changing, and clinging to the notion we grew up with - that the U.S. is and always will be top dog - is one sure way to guarantee that we sink like a stone. Thanks, Mr. Z. for showing that optimism is still possible even in this formerly unimaginable new world order.
