France started this week, and the others will follow. Their currencies are rising in value and they do not like it. We expect other nations to follow, Mexico and Brazil in imposing a 2% tax on incoming funds and others will print their currencies and buy dollars to reduce the value of their currencies and at the same time buy US Treasuries that are decreasing in value.

While Israel is one of the loudest voices calling for a tougher line on Iran’s nuclear programme, its own nuclear capability has never been put to inspection. Israel has two nuclear research centres - at Dimona and Soreq. The latest estimates suggest that Israel has produced at least 118 warheads with weapons grade plutonium. WRH permalink

Farid Bakht, joint international co-ordinator of The Green Party, spoke at Trafalgar Square, as part of the 24th October demonstration against the war in Afghanistan. Here is a copy of his speech: Hello everyone! Twenty years ago, the last Russian soldier left in defeat. They lasted ten years. The Americans and NATO want to stay longer than the Russians. They are talking about being there for forty years. I don’t believe it. The US dollar will not last as the world’s reserve currency that long.

QUETTA, Pakistan – Pakistan police arrested 11 Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers Monday for illegally entering the country, amid tensions over a suicide attack that Tehran alleges was carried out by militants backed by Pakistani intelligence officials.

I can’t help but think James Carafano is on to something in his comparison with Obama’s rather naive foreign policy with another naive foreign policy -  that of Jimmy Carter. Why does Carafano feel that 2010 may be Obama’s 1978? Because America’s enemies had taken measure of the man during his first, change-filled year in office. They saw weaknesses they could exploit. In the second year, they made their move. Carter was a big “soft power” advocate, and believed diplomacy was the be-all and end-all of foreign policy.

In contrast to a number of progressives I know, I was generally supportive of and applauded the early stripes of foreign policy realism that former Massachusetts Governor and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney displayed during the beginning of his campaign. Romney had a first rate national security advisor in former State Department Policy Planning Director Mitchell Reiss and had others I respect like Nixon Center President Dimitri Simes on his formal advising team.

I went into school today and coughed. Into my elbow, of course. Don’t want to spread the nasty disease. I waited for someone to point at me, look at me like I was a leper, and, voice rising with fear, shout “SWINE FLUUUUUU!” But then I realized that there was no one there. It was just me and the fluorescent lighting’s buzz. It felt so much like a zombie movie that I was mad at myself for being a sissy and not watching any horror movies so I knew what to do in these situations.

Haaretz Iran’s foreign minister on Monday played down the possibility of Israel launching a strike against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, after his French counterpart warned of such an attack if talks between Iran and world powers failed. “We regard the Zionist regime in the current era in its weakest position,” the semi-official ISNA news agency quoted Manouchehr Mottaki as saying.
