Five years on from the start of the war in Iraq Al Jazeera visited the USA to guage public mood towards the conflict.

In a special four part documentary we talked to, among others, grieving mothers, politicians and the man widely regarded as coining the phrase “axis of evil”, who still supports the war.

Everyone Knows but us, 20,000 more troops for the US

Television news bulletins across the world have been reporting the story of Barack Obama’s US presidential victory.

People in the Japanese city of Obama reacted with joy to his election, as did Indonesian children at the school he attended and Barack Obama’s grandmother in Kenya was clearly delighted.

Many were not short of words of advice for the new US President - from Afghanistan and Israel to Gaza and Iran.

In this mornings edition of The Daily Telegraph in the United Kingdom (UK) it was reported in one year there were near one million violent crimes committed in the UK across the pond. The UK being a nation with strong gun control laws where many gleefully point across the pond to the USA. Berating the USA for too many guns and the resulting violence from such arms. It seems the people in the United Kingdom are rather accomplish at committing violent crimes with a blade rather than a bullet.

The UKs population of around 60 million would put their violent crime rate at around 1.47%. In the USA with a population of around 300 million and 1, 400,337 violent crimes in 2007 would put violent crimes in the USA at .47%, less than that of the UK. So now which society is more violent? The society armed with guns or the one armed with knives?

Do people like Russell Brand, John Cleese or Sea Shepherd types won guns or knives?

Ron Paul urges Americans to vote for third-party candidates
The U.S. Presidential campaign has taken a new turn with the former candidate Ron Paul launching a crusade against both John McCain and Barack Obama. At a news conference, Paul joined three third-party candidates in presenting a united front to shift attention away from the front runners.
By coming together, we represent a majority of the American people. We deserve to be heard. We deserve to be in the debates, The former Republican presidential hopeful said:

The Texas Congressman has generated a devoted following that many have called a revolutionary movement. Dr. Paul even organised his own Convention in Minnesota, attracting 18,000 people.

While he has officially dropped out of the race for the White House, his message is one for change but definitely not the type offered by Obama or McCain.

Obama is not for change. He beats McCain into sending more money to Afghanistan. And they both want to send troops and more money into Georgia, he said.

Ron Paul said he has rejected a plea from the McCain campaign to endorse him, though he did call the republican nominee ‘the lesser of two evils.’

Instead hes rallied behind third-party candidates like Libertarian Ralph Nader, who took the opportunity to criticise media coverage of the election.

It’s demeaning to the media, to the American people and to our status around the world to engage in trivia about political gaffs, he said.

The third-party presidential candidates plan to hold their own debates parallel to those organised for McCain and Obama, in response to the media blackout on their campaigns.

The mainstream media has dubbed Nader a Perennial presidential candidate and a spoiler for taking votes away from the main candidates.

Green Party Candidate Cynthia McKinney also took the floor to declare her independence from the current political order.

The politics of today is politics of conformity and of control. And basically the two-party system represents just that, she said.

A was message echoed by Charles Baldwin whos running on the Constitution Party ticket.

It’s a broken system. The two major parties have not only a monopoly but stranglehold a on the political process system that choking the lifeblood out of our country, he stated.

The four candidates share the same views when it comes to foreign policy. They condemn U.S. intervention in Georgia and the decision to send a billion-dollar aid package.

Have you ever thought when you send a billion dollar aid that maybe there’s someone hungry in the United States or who needs medical care? Ron Paul wondered.

McKinney said it was totally inappropriate for the U.S. to send so-called humanitarian aid on a naval ship.She also called NATO’s eastward expansion a dangerous move that could stir another Cold War.

The third-party presidential candidates have no illusions about sitting down in the Oval Office next January. Their goal is to change the two-party system in Washington. They call it the ‘beginning of the realignment of American politics.

Ivan Canas says:
The US has betrayed itself, Russia & the World.

When the Soviet Union Collapsed there were several agreements that the United States and the European Union should have followed. But that was not the case, they have chosen to execute that wise spanish proverb which states: “Out of the fallen tree everybody makes logs or takes cuttings”

So, the EU started to expand too fast. However, Russia never minded that part too much, but they did mind NATO. The expansion of NATO is a very dangerous decision, because it awakes suspicion and lack of trust.

NATO expansion was executed and still despite the agreements reached in the past. James Baker former US Secretary of State pledged that NATO was not to be expanded to the East if the Soviet Union agreed to unify Germany and accepted the ‘new Germany’ within the alliance. That was a promise that the United States did to the WORLD.

Saakashvili’s action was supported by the US and some members of the European Union.

Russia has been responsible of its acts and it has stopped a masacre provoked by Georgia, but as I said before in others of my youtube ‘more info comments’, Russia will not accept that its national interest are ignored.

Bill Clinton and George Bush are to blame for this state of affairs in the world.

Russia has complied and even experience a very bad economic period during the nineties when the International Monetary Fund was applying its policies there.

The American public schools for the last thirty years have relinquished their roles as education centers in favor of becoming left-wing, politically correct indoctrination centers.

A film crew from the nation of Finland videoed a classroom in Mary McArthur Elementary School, Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States of America (USA).
That video is chilling and typical of the indoctrination taking place daily in American public schools. Americans should be concerned. What is more telling this news comes from Finland, not the muted American news media.
