| Whither the Nobel Peace Prize? Posted: 12 Jun 2010 06:58 PM PDT  To the disappointed and dejected people of the world who had witnessed the dark and gloomy years of George W. Bush's presidency, Barack Obama's electoral slogan of "change" seemed to be an encouraging pledge of rebirth and revitalization which could eventually extricate them from war, destruction, sanction and militarism.  |

( Disturbing footage )  |
| "What are you going to do about it?" Posted: 12 Jun 2010 03:05 PM PDT  Two weeks ago, as I was figuratively staggering through the worst existential pummeling I've endured since my self-imposed sentence to Dante's Inferno in the early 90's, I had a profound (recovering) alcoholic's moment of clarity. Alone and grappling with the unwelcome silence of solitude, my mind conjured remembrances of sad and broken people pouring out their souls to other equally broken people, smoke lingering so heavily in the air that one could readily "catch" cancer without taking a drag from a cigarette, the comforting aroma of coffee (a recovering addict's best friend) wafting through the air , streams of tears flowing like tiny rivers whose headwaters had emerged from the thunderstorms of human pain, raw emotions unflinchingly revealed to a pack of strangers (where does that happen besides AA?), obliterated dreams and shattered lives vividly displayed in Technicolor supported by Dolby Sound, and enough street psychology espoused that an industrious writer could have readily filled the shelves of Barnes and Nobles' self-help section.  |
| Posted: 12 Jun 2010 11:27 AM PDT  Let's start with the good news. Television personality Yair Lapid is (apparently ) entering politics. Now for the bad news. He's not the man we were looking for. Our imagination was sparked by the chance that finally a new face would enter politics who is loved, smooth-talking, unifying and charming, and who would do away with the shallowness of the Netanyahu-Barak-Livni group for good. But these hopes have been immediately dashed. In one fell swoop hope will vanish as if it never existed.  |
| Saturday: 7 Iraqis Killed, 8 Wounded Posted: 12 Jun 2010 07:27 AM PDT  Light violence left at least seven Iraqis dead and another eight wounded as the two leading contender to be the next prime minister met today. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki at last spoke with rival Ayad Allawi for their first post-election meeting. They may have agreed for a need to form a national partnership between the two governments; however, a cautious remark from State of law official Ali al-Dabbagh could signal that no major breakthrough occurred.  |
| Taking Your Country Back, One Neighborhood at a Time Posted: 12 Jun 2010 05:09 AM PDT  YAL's Varg Freeborn and C4L's Ken McPherson recently spoke to the New American about their struggles with the city to hold a gun rights rally, and the silver lining resulting from their hard-won efforts. Against all odds, members of the Young Americans for Liberty and Campaign for Liberty, with support from Ohioans for Concealed Carry, pulled off a successful gun rights rally and helped kill a gun sales ban in their city.  |

| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:09 AM PDT  A reliable new poll of Israeli public opinion shows that attitudes on the Gaza blockade are heavily hawkish -- in diametric opposition not only to most international reactions, but also much of the Israeli media's own commentary. This finding is the first detailed measurement of Israeli views following the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) violent boarding of the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara, which resulted in the deaths of nine people. The poll surveyed Israeli Jewish opinion and was conducted by telephone interviews on June 7 by Pechter Middle East Polls, a young, Princeton, N.J.-based survey research and analysis firm working with pollsters throughout the region.  |
| Activists disrupt Caterpillar shareholder meeting Posted: 11 Jun 2010 08:56 AM PDT  While pro-Palestinian activists and supporters of Israel lined opposite sides of South LaSalle Street outside the Northern Trust Building in Chicago on 9 June, James Owens, the outgoing CEO and Chairman of Caterpillar Inc., told a room full of shareholders the company was not responsible for the way Israel uses the bulldozers the company manufactures in the United States. |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 08:41 AM PDT  If I were still a journalist, I would have had juicy scoop last Saturday when I learned of the imminent but still unannounced arrival in Azerbaijan of U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Gates had been tasked with hitting the reset button -- there are a lot of those in the former Soviet Union these days -- on Washington's increasingly problematic relationship with Baku. I learned of the emergency visit when an old friend of mine called to say he knew I was in the Azerbaijani capital, and that his former boss, a U.S. intelligence officer, wanted to buy me a few beers and chat about my nearly 20-year hobby of reading tea leaves and goat entrails in the Land of Az.  |
| Will Flotilla tragedy bring change in Israel? Posted: 11 Jun 2010 06:52 AM PDT  Is it possible to be shocked and yet not be surprised? Israel's stupidity and disregard for human life is nothing new. It is a recurring theme in the life of the Jewish state from its very inception. Surely as the destruction in Gaza remains untouched 18 months after the murderous attacks that began on 27 December 2008 there can be no surprise at Israeli brutality. Yet as the news unfolded and the images of the Israeli assault on the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza began to unravel a sense of shock was expressed everywhere. |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 06:51 AM PDT  Forget about all the members of Congress who are supposedly about to suffer from "Obamacare" blowback in the mid-term elections. Forget about the deficit, the bureaucracy, and any other critiques you might have heard about President Barack Obama's health-care reform passed earlier this year. There's a far bigger consequence looming abroad: U.S. health-care reform will exact an excruciating cost on the developing world. Here's why: Tens of thousands of doctors are about to leave their home countries -- where they are often desperately needed -- to come to the United States to meet America's growing demand.  |
| 'Even the Regime Hates the Regime' Posted: 11 Jun 2010 06:03 AM PDT  Even before last year's post-election tumult, it was palpable to almost anyone who had spent serious time in Iran that revolutionary rot had set in long ago. While every country has its tales of corrupt clergymen, disillusioned government officials, drug-addicted youth, and rampant prostitution, in a theocracy that rules from a moral pedestal these stories have long served to highlight the government's hypocrisy and hollow legitimacy.

| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 05:46 AM PDT  Wednesday's U.N. Security Council resolution sanctioning Iran marks a critical turning point in the U.S.-led efforts to target Iran's illicit activities. The resolution focuses on Iran's nuclear-weapons and ballistic-missile programs; the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is responsible for these programs as well as the regime's support for terrorism; and the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), which has been directly involved in proliferation shipments. The sanctions included in this resolution are, as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice put it, "as tough as they are smart and precise." If anything, this new resolution is both too precise and purposefully vague. And therein lies its strength.  |

| Posted: 11 Jun 2010 03:37 AM PDT  On June 7, during a scuffle with some rock-throwing Mexican teenagers in a concrete drainage canal near El Paso, Texas, a U.S. Border Patrol officer shot Sergio Adrian Hernandez Guereca, 15, in the head, killing him. Mexican security forces brandishing their weapons, assisted by Mexican bystanders throwing rocks and firecrackers, later chased off FBI agents investigating the shooting. Mexican authorities say Hernandez was shot on the Mexican side of the border and claim to have recovered a .40-caliber shell casing as proof. A U.S. official asserted the action occurred on the U.S. side -- and displayed a Border Patrol videotape that allegedly showed four Mexican officers crossing to the U.S. side and possibly repositioning the shell casing to the Mexican side.  |
| Israel's Deterrence Unlikely To Succeed Posted: 11 Jun 2010 02:03 AM PDT  One of the most repeated questions asked by many following the attack on the Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla was why Israel did what it did. Why a very powerful army and navy who can easily have controlled the situation in the high seas needed to carry out a commando raid that ended up with the death of nine internationals, one an American citizen. The official Israeli narrative has been very simple. This was not a humanitarian effort but a blockade-busting effort by anti-Semitic Islamic militants who nearly lynched the Israelis who boarded their ship to steer it to an Israeli port. Except for Israelis and some American Jews, few bought that line. It reminded many of Israel being angry with the Palestinians for forcing their soldiers to kill Palestinian children.  |
| Beyond Iran sanctions: Iran's failing legitimacy Posted: 11 Jun 2010 01:29 AM PDT  As necessary as sanctions may be in thwarting Iran's nuclear program, they are a secondary issue. Challenging the moral and political legitimacy of violence by the Iranian state against its own citizens ought to be the urgent priority of the international community. After enduring a year of extraordinary cruelty, solidarity with those struggling for democracy and human rights is every bit as critical as sanctions aimed at Iran's rulers.  |
| Hope and anxiety at Rafah crossing Posted: 11 Jun 2010 01:28 AM PDT  Jamila Hammouda, a mother of five small children, hopes that she will be reunited with her family in Cairo, Egypt. Because of closure and travel restrictions, her last visit was 15 years ago.Hammouda, her husband and their children were waiting on the Gaza side of the Rafah terminal crossing with Egypt, where Palestinians in Gaza have queued up after Egyptian authorities reopened the crossing "indefinitely." Egypt's move follows Israel's deadly raid on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla which aimed to bring world attention to and break Israel's 36-month siege on the Gaza Strip.  |

| Posted: 10 Jun 2010 10:18 AM PDT  Israel gave itself a nice present to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of losing its borders. The raid on the Gaza flotilla in international waters is like the first Lebanon War - as if in a nightmarish experiment, we seem to be examining the question: What happens when a country has no borders?  |
| Helen Thomas and the moral failure of US liberals Posted: 10 Jun 2010 07:09 AM PDT  The ostracism of Helen Thomas, the doyenne of the White House press corps, over her comment that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home" to Poland, Germany, America and elsewhere is revealing in several ways. In spite of an apology, the 89-year-old has been summarily retired by the Hearst newspaper group, dropped by her agent, spurned by the White House, and denounced by long-time friends and colleagues. |
| Democratic Party Defends Israeli Attack Posted: 10 Jun 2010 06:32 AM PDT   Tens of thousands of Israelis protested in the streets of Tel Aviv last weekend against their right-wing government's attack on an unarmed humanitarian aid flotilla sailing in international waters. International condemnation of the raids continued in foreign capitals. Meanwhile, in Washington, Democratic congressional leaders were lining up alongside their Republican colleagues to defend the Israeli assault. Countering the broad consensus of international legal scholars who recognize that the attack was in flagrant violation of international norms, prominent Democrats embraced the Orwellian notion that Israel's raid, which killed at least nine activists and wounded scores of others, was somehow an act of self-defense. |
| Gaza Flotilla: Prelude to a Wider War? Posted: 10 Jun 2010 04:01 AM PDT  Looked at from a diplomatic point of view, Israel's attack on the Gaza aid flotilla was an act of astonishing stupidity: it burned bridges to Israel's one friend in the Middle East, Turkey; it drew world-wide condemnation for what many call an act of piracy; and it shifted the focus from Hamas to the inhumanity of the blockade. What were Tel Aviv's decision makers thinking? Well, a leading Jerusalem Post columnist suggests "a possible way to explain Israel's decision to stop the flotilla to Gaza…was the Israeli government's readiness to accept the development of a potential war with no other than Teheran."  |
| If the Arizona immigration law is 'misguided,' so is Obama's criminal-alien roundup program Posted: 10 Jun 2010 03:27 AM PDT President Obama has called Arizona's new highly controversial crackdown on illegal immigration "misguided." It's certainly sparked outrage across the country. But the White House has its own suspect illegal immigration enforcement policies, which could benefit a little from such outrage.  |

On April 12, 2010, President Barack Obama hosted a forty-seven nation Nuclear Security Summit in Washington. He met with dozens of heads of state making his case for a fourth set of crippling sanctions on Iran because of its intransigence on the nuclear issue. His main argument was the refusal of Iran to accept the proposal by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of transferring the bulk of Iran's low enriched uranium outside the country in exchange for medical nuclear isotopes.
Alex talks with Ian Freeman and Mark Edge of the libertarian political talk show Free Talk Live broadcast from Keene, New Hampshire. Free Talk Live is part of the Free State Project, an effort to get at least 20000 libertarian-leaning people to move to New Hampshire in order to make the state a stronghold for libertarian ideas.
After the talk at Cal State Fullerton Smith was interviewed by a Daily Titan journalist, a young lady from India, a Muslim. She wrote the most professional, even-handed article on me that I have ever seen in the mainstream or campus press.
A strange reaction from the audience at Cal State Fullerton to the wind-up of the talk on 06 May, which reminds him of the Norman Rockwell paintings.
Northwestern professor Arthur Butz is interviewed by the Iranian news agency Mehr. Smith points out the irrational vocabulary used by the President of Northwestern and Northwestern faculty in response to Butz's observations. Irrational in that it slanders and condemns Butz but is unwilling to address publicly what he has written, or what is reported he says in the Mehr interview.
