for now it's fair game unless others also stop linking to MMA/D-KOS/MoveON and the the giant HuffPo OP/ED a true stalemate will only result in 3 sites deemed worthy of linking when concerning American interests: AP, Reuters and Christian Science Monitor.

Why are the French getting an 'MP for London'?
Interesting. I wonder if they will also have MPs from other countries as well?

The only problem I see is the ITIN. Claiming dependents in Canada or Mexico in itself isn't a problem. However, by allowing undocumented workers to file these claims, this causes problems. What I find funny is why they allowed this despite the new filing system the IRS uses which is extremely efficient in weeding out tax frauds.

I'm kind of amazed that American television has basically ignored the Queen of England's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Usually the US media is slobbering all over this kind of event.

Well my opinion for Zimmermans intelligence rather went down.
FYI: Not telling the judge that you have 135k in donations for you defense at the bail meeting is probably gonna come and bite you in the ass.

As United States and Western nations pull out, China seeks role in Afghanistan:
"China and Afghanistan will sign an agreement in the coming days that strategically deepens their ties, Afghan officials say, the strongest signal yet that Beijing wants a role beyond economic partnership as Western forces prepare to leave the country."

Israel Deploys Nuclear Weapons on German-Built Submarines:
"A German shipyard has already built three submarines for Israel, and three more are planned. Now SPIEGEL has learned that Israel is arming the submarines with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. The German government has known about Israel's nuclear weapons program for decades, despite its official denials." See: http://www.spiegel.de/international/...-a-836671.html |

I've generally considered the idea of Israeli nuclear armed submarines to be a "known" think since at least the 1990s. I mean even in Mock UN in high school and college in the 90s I knew they had nukes. It may have been denied or at least ignored from Isael officially, but everyone "knew" they had nukes already.
And it isn't even illegal for them to have nukes, since they never signed the NPT.

If North Korea was considered at least somewhat stable, it would likely not be a factor since they backed out of the NPT legally (well...mostly legally. They were likely working on nukes before they announced their leave of the Treaty).
Israel, on the other hand, has likely had nuclear weapons since the 1960s, and if reports are correct, had they signed the NPT they would have been classified as a nuclear power from the start. Because they have had nukes for so long, it isn't considered a problem. They have not been considered a threat (outside the implied, "If you attack us we'll nuke you for it" threat). They didn't nuke Iraq when they took out its nuclear reactor and were very patient for a country under direct rocket attack in 1991. Iran of course worries them, which in turn worries Iran. North Korea is considered to be unstable. With all their recent rocket launches they have made South Korea and Japan very nervous. And that makes the American that defend them nervous.
