Europa Gone Awry
Good grief...
Seven Frenchmen have died for al Qaeda in Iraq and other locations.
The metropolitan London police chief, Sir Ian Blair, has criticized the use of a stun gun in the arrest of Yasin Hassan Omar earlier this week. I don't care what Sir Ian Blair says; if I'm trying to arrest a terrorist, and he's not going peacefully, I'm either going to hit him with a stun gun, or beat him senseless with a night stick. Also, in the same article, it gives some indication as to why he may have run from police: he'd been living in England illegally for two friggin' years!
The Turkish government, which hasn't been completely helpful with regard to our efforts in Iraq, are calling on the United States to use bases in Iraq to attack Kurdish rebels. Aside from the fact that the Kurds are a larger minority than the Sunnis in Iraq, we'd have to have the Iraqi government's permission to launch raids against Kurds in Turkey. For one reason or another, I don't know that I see that happening.
But wait! There's good news! Apparently capitalism works, and helps both rich nations like England and Italy, and poor nations like Albania! It's almost as if the capitalist apologists were right all along!
