People who find this statement surprising should recall that Europe has had wars regularly for millennia, the latest one having ended only a short 66 years ago. When the Treaty of Rome was signed in 1957, it was w...

Re: 31-Mar-11 News -- US deepens involvement in Libya

Just a remark http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110408/ap_on_bi_ge/ml_libya as I expected this guys don't understand that they are at war, they asked for help and then tried (without training) to fight Gadhafi (with no internal reason except that they wanted power, not democracy, power). and now they rej...

Re: 7-Apr-11 News -- Portugal requests bailout

I would expect the US budget problems to be solved the same way they were solved last time through this mill, via large scale tax increases. http://www.businessinsider.com/republicans-play-the-losing-hands-2011-4 I recommend this article, not only because of its content, but because it looks like i...

Re: 7-Apr-11 News -- Portugal requests bailout

Hello First I'd like to thank you for your blog and your work, it is for me an essential dimension to my own analysis of the world, so "you have the right" (humor) to sleep, don't worry.

Re: 31-Mar-11 News -- US deepens involvement in Libya

Dear John Thank you for your remarks A lot of people, including Saif Gaddafi and some analysts, have been talking about "chaos" or "civil war" if Gaddafi steps down.

I, as an European, just want to make some remarks: - "Rebels" know marketing: suddenly they want "democracy": http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ap_on_re_af/af_libya, this is for fun, they want assistance (air strike) from Europe, so they use the wording of the Europe media. Everyone wants the power that th...
