World State Commentary

Abu Ghraib
So the head of the UN Human Rights comission considers the US actions at Abu Ghraib on part with war crimes? I don't see Mr. Ramcharan saying that about the Iraqis. For that matter what about the criminal and illegal activities of UN members such as France and Russia that allowed Saddam Hussein's regime to commit numerous attrocities since the Gulf War and even profitted from those atrocities via the oil-for-food program.

I also note that Mr. Ramcharan makes no note that the US is charging and putting to court martial those involved in the criminal acts. He did at least acknowledge the present situation in Iraq is far better than under Saddam Hussein.

Porn is Popular
Is any one really surprised that porn sites are more popular than search engines? Ha!

I won't even comment on my low opinion of internet search engines currently.

Rome Riots & Protests
I don't know why everyone seems to surprised at the riots during the anti-Bush protests. One, they protests were organized by a bunch of communist and socialist groups that have been quite violent towards democratic institutions in the past. Add in the anarchists, and there ya go.

Most of the protesters were at least civil and acted as the true pacifists they claimed to be.

Funny thing is, 60 years ago the US saved Italy from facism. It's good to see the majority using that hard won freedom responsibly during their peaceful protest. As for the trouble makers, good riddance.

I guess America isn't the boogey man the extreme leftists would have the world believe.
