POPSPlucky little Georgia? No, the cold war reading won't wash All is not what is what it looks like.... Cont: Devoted to achieving Nato entry for Georgia, Saakashvili has sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan - and so clearly felt he had American backing. The streets of the Georgian capital are plastered with posters of George W Bush alongside his Georgian protege. George W Bush avenue leads to Tbilisi airport. But he has ignored Kissinger's dictum: "Great powers don't commit suicide for their allies." Perhaps his neoconservative allies in Washington have forgotten it, too. Let's hope not.

POPSOfficial: U.N. Lost $10M In Burma for additional funds for Burma. An economic professor at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, Sean Turnell, said yesterday that the figure of $10 million in Burma losses is "not inconsistent" with his own estimate. "But why is the U.N. handing any foreign currency to the Burmese regime anyway?" the economist, who was one of the first to expose the loss, said, adding that such handouts only strengthen the ruling junta. "Presumably the government is benefitting somehow" from the exchange rate, Mr. Holmes said yesterday, though he acknowledged that he could not calculate how much of the $10 million that had already been lost went directly to top generals or their associates. A similar foreign exchange plan led to losses of U.N. funds in North Korea. The Bush administration has spent $47.2 million so far on assistance to Burma, according to government documents.

POPSHard Power / Soft Power - Krauthammer
Solemn condemnations have been issued from every forum of soft-power fecklessness — the EU, the U.N., the G-8 foreign ministers — demanding that Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe stop butchering his opponents and step down. Before that, the cause du jour was Burma, where a vicious dictatorship allowed thousands of cyclone victims to die by denying them independently delivered foreign aid, lest it weaken the junta’s grip on power. And then there is Darfur, a perennial for which myriad diplomats and foreign-policy experts have devoted uncountable hours at the finest five-star hotels to deplore the genocide and urgently urge relief. What is done to free these people? Nothing. And who’s going to intervene? The only country that could is the country that in the last two decades led coalitions that liberated Kuwait, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. Having sacrificed much blood and treasure in its latest endeavor — the liberation of 25 million Iraqis from the most barbarous tyranny of all

POPS Myanmar's fascist junta extends Suu Kyi house arrest Those who showed their incompetence to aid the cyclone victims, proving their determinism to oppress Myanmar people. If this knave, filthy junta still holds the power and dares to extend Suu Kyi's arrest arrogantly, only one thing can be said: Shame on the world.

POPSNORMAL FARE FOR THAT SHITTY LITTLE REGIME "The ONLY democracy in the Middle East?" Spare me.The pile of bullshit keeps growing with in that evil little junta. Norman Finkelstein is a scholar par excellence. His parents were REAL (as opposed to all the fakers) survivors of the Nazi pograms against its enemies. Finkelstein is as Jew as Jew can get, but he is unwelcomed in Israel. Why? BECAUSE NORMAL FINKELSTEIN TELLS THE TRUTH and, according to these rabid Zionist terriers with pit bullhorns, anyone who dares to tell the truth about Israel is either anti-semetic or a self-hating Jew. Both are of equal stature within the mutilated reality by which Zionists live.

POPS220,000 condoms off to Myanmar I think I'm going to be ill. This is a priority of the UN? This is where our tax dollars go? When people are starving, unhoused, grieving, disease threatened...the UN wants to make sure these desperate people receive enough condoms?? FTA: "Cyclone Nargis left at least 133 000 people dead and missing, and aid groups had complained that supplies were not getting to survivors quickly enough because of limitations imposed by the ruling junta." Now there's a problem that the UN needs to remedy and address. (stuck on stupid indeed!)
