You stated this evening that: Outrage is one thing, action is another, but failed to add (except by tonal implication) that total bullsheet is a third.

The world's reaction to Aung San Suu Kyi's latest criminal conviction will probably be, as usual: Zilch.

The whole damn UN security council should be electrocuted.

If Brown, Sarkozy, Rudd. Barosso, Obama et. al are serious, they can easily transfer their bewildered and aimless Afghanistan troops to Myanmar.

Maybe they can do something useful there.

I am fed up of anchors and their snippy comments.

Your job is to read the news and leave it to the audience to form their opinions.

That's my 2 cent

I think kilcullen is an interesting and intelligent man, i see why he was an adviser to Gen. Petraeus. I agree a percent with his views. I certainly will like to lay my hand on his book

Dont Change. We dont need deadwood anchors.

Kicullen is right sympathy, empathy and caring bring positive emotions. Staring down the barrel of a gun does not buy any love.

No news on swine flue in India. There are more than 10 death. City of Pune in India is in panic. This city has more of Non Resident Indian population. People will be returning after vacation for school. Are there any preventive steps taken by Govt.? Are we waiting for some people to die, to make it a news?

Kicullen is wrong.

One sure way to gain civilian support is by

NOT KILLING innocent kids/women

with airstrikes/drones/whatever.

The world doesn't need kicullen to state the obvious.

Stop killing innocent kids & women!

Folks at iDesk ... the Arctic Sea hijack was a hijack of national security (that only the Russians and NATO/America know what was actually on board – besides timber), nothing more ... As an East European, Soviet/Russian PoliSci Analyst over 19 years ... Mr. Voitenko (the supposed respected maritime expert in Instanbul ... who was interviewed w/conspiracy theory) ... you again are playing into the hands of very agressive Russophobes looking to create issues and highly dubious speculation within Western Media, like the exiled Russian Oligarch Mr. Berezovsky. HE was directly responsible for 1000s of Chechen Rebel actions in the late 90s and early 2000s and probably the recent killings/kidnappings of Russo-Chechen activists/journalists over the past few years, including fostering/financing groups that advocate a decline in Russo-Ukraine, and Russo-Georgia relations. Interview someone from the Russian Defense Ministry or Maritime Ministry ... instead of disheveled `supposed experts' ready to reveal state secrets. In this country those actions of Mr. Voitenko would get a visit by the FBI and probably several weeks of federal detention. Be smart and report with some accuracy not puff puff fluff w/no substance. iDesk is a great addition to the Int'l perspective for CNNI based in Atlanta – I hope you have great success! Thank you for taking my e-mail!
