[Energy Bulletin -] America and Oil: Declining together? | Energy Bulletin: Even in an era of nuclear weapons, it was the global deployment of oil-powered ships, helicopters, planes, tanks, and missiles that sustained America’s superpower status during and after the Cold War. It should come as no surprise, then, that the country’s current economic and military decline coincides with the relative decline of oil as a major source of energy.

[Government In The Lab » Government In The Lab] Government In The Lab | Blog | Obama Going Big On Taxes: It helps Obama with liberals because he is raising taxes on the wealthy and not raising the age when people are eligible for Medicare or Medicaid.

[Umar Qutb's Blog] Obstacles to Iranian influence in Iraq - Umar Qutb's Blog - WordPress: Both his independence from the state and his choice to remain above the fray of everyday politics have afforded him the ability to maintain value-driven stances on critical issues that Iraqis face. Ayatollah Sistani -a passive opponent of the Iranian model of clerical involvement in politics - has adopted stances that are reflective of ”˜Iraq-first’ nationalism, and has served as a unifying and democratic force in Iraq’s pursuit of self-determination.  Since 2003, his critical interventions in the state-building and peace-building processes have demonstrated his principled commitment to a democratic and constitutional system. Wikileaks documents revealed the extent to which he purportedly has toiled to thwart Iranian infiltration of Najaf’s religious establishment and check Tehran’s machinations to sway the Iraqi political process at various junctures. His freedom from domestic political constraints has exempted him from the oscillation pattern and allowed him to consistently counter Iranian objectives in Iraq.

The debate has raged for almost as long as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and has been further fueled by the killing of Osama bin Laden, based on evidence of some terrorists who were subjected to measures that many observers described as torture.[4] All in all, in the post-9/11 era, Washington has yet to find a balance between its security and intelligence requirements and the rights, or at least privileges, of those it has captured in the act of seeking to, or actually, doing it harm.
