There needs to be new sustainable uniform definition for CONFLICT FREE natural resource and manufactured products. Conflict free oil and other resources will have to be identified and nations that get these resources from the conflict areas will have to pay the price and be shamed. Oil from middle east, Nigeria, and all other none civil society based nations have to be clearly classified as CONFLICT OIL and banned or impose a great fine for importers much like Conflict Diamond. We need to apply the Apartheid type sanctions to bring organic civil societies to every corner of the world.
I such an standard is established I am sure no one would buy IPhone and LCD TVs produced bu indentured labor or oil from Saudi Arabia where women are mere belongings.
WE NEED UNIVERSAL NATURAL AND MANUFACTURED RESOURCE JUSTICE declaration by UN to start making long lasting fundamental change for all people.

Afghanistan (war) occupation:
There is no way in hell that occupation of Afghanistan can result in "wining" the war. History is littered by occupiers losing at the end and HOMELAND defenders victory. Afghans will never accept or willingly work with an occupying force. We need to understand that there is no such a isolated thing as "insurgents" or Taliban that somehow US forces can kill or beat to submission. We are fighting Afghans with few Afghan expats like Karzai puppets taking photo ups. Afghan people know that, even those Afghans that out desperation form the Afghan Army know that US is violating their tightly held sovereignty and tribal pride.
We must remove WESTERN soldiers out of Afghanistan and let REAL Afghans rebuild their country to not our image but their own. Lets allow them to heal from 30+ years of foreign meddling and occupation starting from cold war to Bush war.

Nuke Fest
Its is ironic that a nuke party is put together in Washington DC and only like minded gusts are invited. I wonder if that is how the slogan "we can" gets implemented by the new elected team on Pennsylvania Ave? Again you do not just engage your old buddies to help resolve a very serious issues such as having some crazy apocalyptic fringe group getting hold of nuke bombs and using it. Since at this time one of the main issues that fuels the craziness is the fact that Palestine is still occupied and not a viable nation one would think this issue would also be on the table. But we continue to tip toes around immoral Israeli occupation and continued prosecution of the Palestinians for over 60 years and try like many US administration have done before separate these issues.
Unfortunately unless we attack the occupation of Palestine front and center there will not be a safe and durable safeguards against a rogue group ultimately figuring out the nuke thing.
For sixty years now US and west in general have treated the symptoms of the Palestinian occupation disease and have not come to terms with treating the disease itself. I suspect it is because the ultimate solution will change how Israel functions as a nation. There are lots of pressure to delay this inevitable outcome and will through obstacles in its way.
CREATE A VIABLE PALESTINIAN STATE and you will have taken whole bunch wind out of the Islamic craziness and pool of recruits, until then these conferences and gatherings just preaching the quire.

IraNestan,
I wonder how long we in the west will go along with nation building before its proven that is an oxymoron term. I wonder when Iraq and Afghanistan become model of western style democracy. The true stories of suffering and festering fear and hate in those countries are not being told in the mainstream media. Its buried in the cyberspace where soccer moms and T-ball dads will never venture to read and explore until another episode of "why they hate us " is played out.
This calm before the next storm is wary!!!

60 minutes of HELL
Just wached the old Americam icon of the news(show) 60 minutes last Sunday. The Afghanestan story made me sad and more upset with Bush, neocons, and thoes people that yet again created this air of organized violnace against a people that have no choice but to defend themselves. The shooting and killing of both "bad guys" and what the poor sorry looking soldires called inocent people again confirms that we are there because our leaders lack Leadership qualities.
Being a reactively open society at the forefront of people power means we select our leaders ( from increasingly small pool of candidates) that do not lead this nation but continue with business as usual. They lack vision and higher goals so they push the pre 21st century militaristic approach to problem solving. We all know it too well this approach will elicit nothing but violent reaction. For every soldier we have in Afghanistan there are many Afghans that will react with hate and war mongering resolution while their children will carry that hatred towards American (yes all of us since we elect our leaders) for many years to come.
The way these poor Green Berate or regular soldiers were treating Afghan recruits was appalling to the middle east culture. It may be ok to treat a red neck from Oklahoma at the boot camp in some brain washing fort in the heartland but not in middle east. Who the hell all these expert advisers that think this will work and Afghan soldiers will take over in a year or two!
In the report all you had to do watch the Afghans faces and not listen to crap soldiers or interviewer was saying.
Just imagine if 300,000 Chinese occupy California and train Mexicans and African Americans to fight the freedom fighters that want to kick the Chinese ass, how would that fly?
I suggest watching the 60 minutes report with muted volume and just watch the Afghans. You will see why they will retaliate if not this year then next.
I thought perhaps there was a off chance that Obama would be different but no, he is only different in how the projection of power is marketed not its content.
