in response to reader comment: No fresh news!!!

I'm not so sure

1) To quote Rush Limbaugh: The media will NOT allow Obama to fail because he's too historically important. He is seen as the first "Black" president (talk about stealing Clinton's thunder)

2) Russia went into demise because Reagen outspent them and Charlie Wilson led an effort to give the Afghan weapons. I hope you are aware, Mansoor, of the massive maltreatment of the Afghan refugees by Pakistan. Muslim on Muslim blood to say the least.

3) The Euro is not a currency I would make a long-term investment in, because the EU is not socially stable and quite a few folks over there either do not want to work or will not work more than 35 hours a week. Boo hoo.

4) Afghanistan is currently being rebuilt by different countries. The only "crushing to knees" are done by the fear-mongering Taliban, who cannot stand the fact that Afghanistan is now free from their tyranny.

5) In spirit of the season, I would like to see more rights for Christians in Pakistan, Mansoor. I bet if you really wanted to, you could see to that.
