Bush pisses Europe off even more regarding global warming

alright the Bush administration should be getting some props for this...i mean he has been showing that he has concern over the issue of global warming by calling on some sort of plan to lower greenhouse gas emissions. however, European nations, especially Germany have showed their concern during the G8 Summit that Bush's plan is simply not efficient enough to combat the problem. the US government calls for a plan in which nations come together to create their own targets in lowering emissions.

i thought they were getting along.

According to the NY Times, Miss Condie Rice had a showdown with Russian official, Lavrov at a meeting of the G8. Lavrov accused the Bush Administration of starting another arms race, just as in the Cold War. He also aggressively stated that if there were to be any resolution recognizing the independece of Kosovo, it would be vetoed...wow. not too new, the throwdown should happen soon. my money is on Condie...i still do not agree with Russia and their steps backward from democracy.

update: DAMN IT! friggin US and oil...making peace seem impossible.

so although the US has issued strong economic sanctions against Sudan in efforts to draw more attention to the region of Darfur, there is a HUGE loophole: OIL EXPORTS! thus, it seems as if this action will not help anything...FRIGGIN A. when there is hope, it seems as if it is immediately taken away. the American and international need for oil has only assisted in the sparking of violence in so many regions around the world.

YAYUH! way to go Bush - tightening sanctions against Sudan

Yesterday, President Bush announced that he is to tighten economic sanctions against the nation of Sudan due to its humanitarian violations because of the genocide occurring in Darfur. this is a step. a big one. but really, there could be so much more going on to stop the genocide. but at least we are really making a stand against what is going on there. hopefully we'll soon be making a bigger one. more aid needs to be sent, military support from countries like the United States is absolutely necessary. i really want this not to be another Rwanda. but i know that in a few years, we'll look back and regret not going in when we should have.

Bush gives a HELL NO to lowering emissions

In response to a German proposal to the US to lower greenhouse emissions, the United States has reponded angrily, stating that it is nearly impossible to cut down as much as Germany and other European nations have recommended. honestly, i just want to see how this global warming discussion will be in just one year with new leadership. the environmental changes that need to be made by our government seem to be shunned by our current government. just wait...i know they'll regret it when we're the only ones that still haven't signed the Kyoto Protocol. stubborn US!

high five for the little guy!

alright! so Macedonian Ambassador, Srgjan Kerim has been announced as the newly elected President of the United Nations General Assembly, the largest organ of the UN. i love reading this stuff in the news because it highlights the ability for the not so powerful countries to have the biggest say in organizations like the United Nations. now if only the US and other powerful counties would really pay attention to the work of the UN.

look out...it's a bird, it's a plane, no! it's CHINA!

Looking to expand its national space program, China has shown its interest to expand its own space program, without recognition from the United States. Because the United States has been excluding China from its international space program, China has announced that it plans to start its own program. It also states that China hopes its program will be able to foster hope for developing nations unable to start their own space programs by helping them initiate their own national programs.

What happened?! I thought the US and China were meant to be BFF! this just proves how much a threat and power China is truly growing to be. i swear in 10 years, we will be seeing China as the biggest power in the international community. the olympics, and now conquering space?! just watch out for China now...the world has seen nothing yet. well really though, cause China won't let anyone see anything.
