"raising questions about his relevance in a region that has been changed by a wave of pro-democracy uprisings"
Errr, didn't hear any pro-democracy uprisings in the already democratical Pakistan... Closest pro-democracy urprisings are in Syria, more than 5000km away.

There's a lot of police, because protest usually face counter-protests from the Uyoku. They yell a lot, and usually never step to action, but the police are just here to fend those guys off if needed, without using force, just numbers.

Screw the EU, NATO and the useless security council. Egypt and Tunisia should scramble their airforces and put Ghadafi down. The Libyan people will only be thankful is my guess.

Whichever side achieves victory, this is for a majority based on lobbying more than the actual worth of the offers.

I've always been shocked when seeing very young kids out at 11pm or so, when my bedtime was pretty much set at 8 until end of elementary school, and 10 at best during middle high. Sleep deprivation leads to lack of concentration during the day after and ultimately various development problems, so it's amazing nothing's done for that...

What we know about him and his actions should be enough to send him to jail. The unknown is anybody's guess, but could be frightening considering the known part.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan led to the US borrowing more than a trillion dollar to China. Besides the international trouble & basic human rights trouble, I doubt adding to the debt by starting a new war will be such a urge for the US in the near future, and it will definitely not kick start the economy but only add to its problems.

If the guy actually proves to have mental issues, how could he have access to guns ? Even if he was sane (well, as sane as you can be when you shoot people), he's an example of why i'm pro gun-control:
When people snap (and people snap everyday and everywhere), I'd rather the only thing that comes to their hand is a stapler or even a knife and not a gun, whatever the type of it.

"U.S. officials in Washington say other countries have curtailed their dealings with the U.S. government because of WikiLeaks’ actions."
No. Other countries have curtailed their dealings with the US gov because of US gov action, which was revealed by Wikileaks. Quite a difference, if you ask me.

“On the Meguro line that serves Sensoku and Ookayama, there are lots of affluent elderly people of large stature, and they can be quite annoying,” says a regular user. “On three occasions I’ve seen them blow up at nearby passengers, saying ‘I’m wearing a pacemaker, so don’t use your cell phone around me!’”
This guy is basically saying people with pacemaker are a nuisance to his little commuting habits. Wow.
