There will be no strikes on Israel by Iran. You lot on the radical end of each side need to calm down a bit.

Good sentiments, but unfortunately you are talking about, in the case of Israel, a nation that in less than five years has made how many large…

Israel may have "got their butts kicked" but their belligerence and role as the US proxy makes them very very dangerous, and liable to kick off a major war in the Middle East.

An attack on Israel by Iran will pull in the US. Any strike on Iranian targets by…

Banks, and "bankers/traders" along with the greed they continue to exhibit are nothing less than a collective result of this current crises. As bad as it is, this financial disaster is a culmination of what really has been nothing less than the protracted decline of American capitalism and its global…

All in accordance with the Bush plan.

Truer, I think to say it to be in accordance with the plan Bush was given. Prez Obama represents the very same American ruling class that Prez Bush did after all.

No smoking at train stations? In the open air? All that's needed now is to get people to ride trains or bicycles rather than buses, taxis, and cars. Oh and properly filter factory exhaust stacks. Then Japan can really get out there and tell China to quit polluting the winds…

Good to see the reactionaries in form inviting the "socialists" to comment. It would be too much to ask for more inventiveness from such no-hope perspectives.

Any leader appearing out the G20 is a proponent of capitalism, and cannot therefore be socialist. They can though pose as 'socialist' as defined…

Blaze524 Your world is almost yesterday.

Not only China, but India, Russia, and Israel have the means to project military might.

The US has military dominance for just as long as it can continue to fund its own military R&D. Everything it has now will be obtained tomorrow by most…

I'd say imperialism is what it is, be it small or big size. The fact that Japan wanted control of access to Manchuria back before World War 2 began may in fact have had more to do with geopolitical concerns than access to minerals in the ground.

Good points…
