Bubble Economies
We in US had Internet bubble in 90's, then Housing bubble 00's and are setting things up for Green bubble followed by Health care bubble..... as so on. The market economy that is not really free and at the same time not really supervised or allowed to have SMART REGULATION will have to survive with BUBBLES. The political economy that will continue to be messed with by the political party in power will waste resources, kill animals, start wars with WMD lies, and occasionally use patriotism to rally the troops. The system then is able to pacify "we the people" and fizzle any real grass root attempt the create sustainable and just social/economical framework.

Iran Election (aka Selection)
Regardless of how the election results works its self out in the near and long term one fact remains solid that event in Iran will for GOOD change how Middle East is run. The dictators both US allies or otherwise will now have to content with new set of standards on accountability and responsiveness to PEOPLE. The unelected leaders in Egypt, Israel (until Palestinians get to vote), Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Sudan, Algeria, yes even Turkey are on notice that people are not going to just lay down and let the dictators ram it to them. The civil society standards are now being outlined in streets of Tehran and other cites in the middle east. These rules are not based on Judi-Christian values of some distant land but more real and close and based on Islam and indigenous cultural and heritage of the people of middle east.
Once they arrive at the Mecca of their civil society they may still have issues with west and their designs on resources and virgin markets, so don't count on happy ever after when they get their house in order.
The two countries that are off the list namely Iraq and Afghanistan can not begin this journey of people power until their nation is free of foreign occupation forces.

Remember Old Conservatives?
Here is what they had in mind and partly acted on after 9/11 with Bush in and others in power:
American leadership is GOOD and to bring that good to everyone military, diplomatic energy, and moral principles to be used.
I am sure Iraqi's think they are being killed morally and with political energy, so as detainees in Guantanamo, Afghanistan, and Iraq that have not been charged and picked up for resisting military action for many years now.

Iran election and US invasion
I find it intriguing that US and western media now complain about free flow of information about the Iran election protests and the deplorable way Iran regime is blocking reporters and other news outlets from free access to what is going on there. On the flip side here we are 6 years after illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq US military still manges how news, pictures, and videos are reported. They embed reporters with US military along with so called "minders". We to this day do not have a clear picture of what Iraqi's resistance made up of, are they just some nutty Isalmofacists or people fighting to get rid of their country of foreign invaders. Are they freedom fighters or just few (couple) of crazy dudes envious of our freedom.
We in the west including those little mouses on the other side of the pond have ZERO moral or ethical base to question what Iranian government is doing to keep it together. We did the same thing after 9/11. We summarily arrested anyone with as much as looking dark to rendering them to other surrogate killers and torcherers. The funny thing is that in comparison 9/11 attack was nothing for the US system and government compared to what is going on in Iran.
There you are WEST has totally lost whatever MORAL capital that it may have had before 9/11. Having said that I find events in Iran lot more promising that if Bush type had been reelected in US. At least for the time being US is not drowning with FEAR and LOATHING.
In some ways perhaps criminal activities of US in the last 6 years could have a silver lining in how rest of the world will evolve into a more civil societies. Now that old "I am GOD's gift to you fuckheads" way of dealing with developing and even Europe is gone perhaps other nations can grow more Organically.
You see BUSH was not so bad after all. He proved that we are just as crazy as rest of the world, that we have the potential to display Hitler like behavior. We could cluster bomb and summarily execute people to prove our point that they had WMD!

Health Care in US
Progressives can be so compassionate when it comes to domestic issues but don't mistake them for pussys. They will conduct foreign affairs with same intensity as the conservatives with even more gusto. The only difference is the way they go about it, much like old Bill Clinton they wine and dine them and then stick it to them. The one example that shows that both are after the same thing is how they great and hug king Saudi Arabia, be header, women suck my turban, money launderer, anti-democrat, fuck free press dictator that has kept the oil coming.
The US moral high ground of human rights and freedom is now flooded. I think with "war on terror" and Bush concentration camps and turchers the "Beacon of Hope" wiring is shorting and lights are going out! Perhaps its time for another way of saving this planet, this time though keep the oil and "my back yard" philosophy out of the equation.

Preemptive Imprisonment - Torture
Not much has changes since Necons glory days of post 9/11. Mr. Obama is pretty much on board with basic principles of preemptive attach from all fronts established as foundation of the "war on terror". The progressives are even coming up with more hawkish approach now while making it look like "its good for you" and compassionate. They are saying we will detain you and torture you and its good for you because we know whats best for you and love you too.
They are searching for Legal Opinions to detain and torture "terror suspects" before they become terror suspects. The idea is that there are some people that could someday in the future decide to take up arms against US so we must get them first. It is an Orvilian act with no end in sight, I wonder if Nazi Germany back in 1920's started with the same line of thinking about Jews, Gypsies, and Gays!! Its remarkable that people with progressive social and human agenda can fall this far off the cliff.
The so called suspect could be an Arab or Somalian that perhaps a computer model based on some top secret indicators has determined say, Mr. Abdulah has to be detained before he gets to the point of thinking about planning an attack on US. Oh, by the way top secret panel will decide what constitutes which indicators will require action by our patriots. Of course they can't and will not tell us what those top secret indicators are because the enemy will know and change their tactics!!!
Alright they will pick some key elected officials to let them know some of the top secret indicators. Someone like Pelosi, but shocks she can't be trusted to keep her mouth shot or play with the top secret rules that is subject to change because of our enemies change in methods to inflict harm on us. After all they just simply hate us because of all the freedoms we have!!
I think this needs to become a movie ------ Forget Japanese internment we are taking that same fear-hate-revenge scene to a much higher level with Mr. Obama presiding at the wheel.
Isn't great to be in the land of free ---

Obama and CIA
The signs are on the wall that this progressive president is not much different in content with his predecessor. He walks up to CIA HQ and tells the folks its ok to torture our enemies and you will not be messed with. While with other side of his multi-sided character promises to expose the old administration's misconduct on terror war.
Here is my prediction that this issue will be in the media for another few months and then gets forgotten like rest of the "irregularities" of our past such as Gulf of Tunks, Iran-contra arm deals, contra killings, Elsalvador right wing assassinations, Panama, Chile killings (Pinochet), Argentina assassinations, South Africa Apartheid military support ......
Well -- since we never seem to resolve the these undemocratic behaviors so guess what, it will be repeated again next time there is sensitive national interest situation.
