Democracy loses in India's considered silence on Burmese democratic protests
By Tufail Ahmad
Posted: October, 2007
India abandoned its Gandhian ideals during the pro-democracy protests by Buddhist monks in Burma. New
Delhi's considered silence on Burma has attracted severe criticism both in India and the outside world. This
is an optimistic moment for India. The world expects India not to forego its interest in the international
relations, but to go for it. A democratic Burma will be in India's interest.
''Made in China'' label spurs international
concern
By Paul Mooney

First came reports of deaths in Panama of people
who used medicines from China. The there were
reports that pet food from China laced with
melamine, a coal derivative, had sickened and killed
thousands of pets. Then came the story of Chinese
toy trains. The list goes on.
Beijing, Seoul don't want theNorth to fall
but something must be done
By Justin Pirzadeh

North Korea's Kim Jong II has shown little regard for
treaties and norms of neighbourhood and acts
brashly. China and South Korea do not want the North
to fall because of the effect it could have on their
countries, but it seems at this point that something
must be done, and urgently.
Japan is better placed to influence
diplomacy in Korean peninsula
By Shimpei Ara
Posted: Dec 2, 2006
The threats to Japan are limited in comparison with
those to China and South Korea. The North Korean
crisis is putting China and South Korea in awkward
situation: a refugee crisis on their borders will be
difficult to deal with, while Japan does not share its
border.
With Bin Laden neutralized, US should
first secure Afghanistan and Iraq
By Antonio Fabrizio
Posted: Sep 17, 2006
On the 5th anniversary of 9/11, George Bush said that
Bin Laden would be brought to justice, no matter how
long it took. Indeed it should be a key goal, but the
United States should first conserve its vital energies
to secure volatile and unsafe areas in Afghanistan
and Iraq.  
Lebanon's safety is put on the line to
serve Hezbollah's strategic aims
By Hania Mourtada
Posted: July 15, 2006
Thus far it seems both concerned parties are
determined to stand their grounds. But, when all is
said and done, who will be enduring the harsh
outcome other than Lebanese or even Israeli
civilians?Lebanon's safety has been put on the line
and common people are at risk now.
Hassan Nasrallah imagines an
unchallenged complete Islamic state
By Charlie Duerr
Posted: Aug 26, 2006
Hassan Nasrallah is the man who pushed his  son
to fight Israeli troops, saying there was no surer way
to enter the afterlife than martyrdom.  This
commitment is the reason why UN's confidence in
the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon may be
inappropriate.
