Would this be the same Press that also tells lies about Pakistan? It would be consistent, according to this article.

Wanting power, and having it, are not the same thing. Poor Putin. Now not only does his name rhyme with 'pudding', he looks like one ----- old Indian joke !

Absolutely. Obama is also not qualified, though a little less than Romney.

That is why he was so slow to work on Wall Street reform.

Like Creative Murder?

.... and we better stay the reserve currency.

And you think that Romney is a strong leader? Rich white preppy kid supported by his Daddy from day one, working his way through a snobbish preppy school, earning a useless undergraduate degree, followed by more useless business and law degrees until he finally teams up with rich buddies to screw companies by exploiting tax and lending laws? You sure got a vision problem thing, boy.

More and more TE article are being written by Americans. We find it difficult to keep contempt and personal views out of our writing. You got a problem with that?

I am looking for a real dirty, knock down, bitin', spittin', chewin' and cussin' election. That is how real men do it. Now, as for the effete Europeans .... what can I say?

Creative destruction is just another soundbite. There is no such thing in practice.

What's your point, bubba?

They have a better chance of going to jail if they mug an old lady and take $5. Our glorious American system is set up just for this. And Obama and Romney will both be on their knees before these monsters begging for their monetary support. Just like India or Pakistan or Nigeria.

I guess this is the revenge of Troy. After all that Trojan Horse stuff and other duplicity and mendacity over the years, the Greeks have become too expensive to pander to, by the rest of Europe. They are best as poor relatives, neither heard from nor seen, and too far away to visit, but fondly remembered nonetheless. I guess they thought that if they could make up The Iliad, they could do the same thing with the country's accounting! Well, now they have The Odyssey !

Like the Israelis, they want a free ride on our back. We are the gorilla being duped.

You are only half correct. I would not include the BBC in this category.

Because the Israelis want to have their cake and eat it too. This way someone else takes all the risk, and they get all the safety.

Did you know that between 1860 and 1908 the British were the cause of famines in North India that popped of over 30 million? Sometimes, people have some things that they just want to get off their chest. Wait awhile, and little by little, the rest will come out. Read Piers Brendon on the Decline and Fall of the British Empire. In relation to that, perhaps you and the commentator are both very strident in your beliefs and in your rush to judgement.

Greece should consider union with Turkey rather than the EU. Culturally and socially the two are very similar, no matter what propaganda is put forward by the Anglos and others to the West. As an American, I can say that there is virtually no difference that cannot be put out of the way by greasing a few palms.

Perhaps Pakistan should put itself up for adoption by a more mature State? It's people have always been ruled by someone else. The Mughals, various Central Asian kings, the British and so forth. This recommendation would not be a break with the past, rather a continuation of it.

In the US, we have no idea what our government is doing, and whether it is for us or against us. There are different political views on what a government should do, but we have no way of knowing what they are actually doing nor their motivations. So, outside powers may be goaded into a war, in our name. Considering the size of our military, and it's overwhelming dominance on the world stage, no power hungry politician will want it to sit by peacefully. We have enough of these on the Capitol, both Democrat and Republican.
