"Barack Obamas nominering av Sonia Sotomayor som domare till USA:s högsta domstol punktmarkeras av svenska journalister. Men var är bevakningen av vår egen HD? undrar Mårten Schultz, docent i juridik. "Svensk rätt är inte alls så menlös som man kan tro. Högsta domstolen har blivit en allt tydligare maktfaktor."

"So China will continue to fund the growing gap between America's public expenditure and its tax revenues, by recycling to the US the cash of overseas investors who prefer to invest in China's real assets. Mr Zhou is clear that allowing America to live beyond its means is profoundly unhealthy for the global economy in the long term. As he said: "over the long run, large capital inflows are not in its best interest of making adjustments to its economic growth model". Or to put it another way, the US public, private and financial sectors all have to reduce their indebtedness: Americans have to save more."

"AUSTIN — A bill to allow college students and employees to carry their concealed handguns on campus won final passage today on a 19-12 vote in the Senate.

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Iran learns from past to crush dissent.

"What has happened since then has been described as a crackdown. But it is clear that the leaders of the Islamic Republic have taken their own lessons from the way they took power in 1979. Burning police station in Tehran 11.2.79 Clerics are paying attention to the street anger, similar to that in 1979 The unrest that led to the fall of the Shah spiralled out of control. Any time a demonstrator was shot there were more protests at the funeral and at the "arbayeen", the 40-day anniversary of the death. Indecision on the part of the Shah only made his position weaker. This time the Iranian security forces are trying to use the military principle of "minimum force". They have been largely, though not entirely, avoiding the use of live fire. Instead the police and the government's Basij militia have tried to spread fear, with mass arrests, repeated warnings in the media against unauthorised demonstrations, plenty of violence against demonstrators, but mostly not lethal force."

"On 29 April gang leader Youssouf Fofana, 28, took his seat in court, smiling defiantly and declaring: "Allah would be victorious." After more than two months of closed-door hearings, Mr Fofana, rejecting any help from lawyers, was allowed to express his opinion in court for the last time. "It's better to live like a lion for one day than to live like a sheep for 100," he declared. Mr Fofana, a gang leader from just outside Paris, stands accused of the murder of Ilan Halimi, a young Jewish man who worked in a mobile phone shop."

China says 140 dead in Xinjiang unrest | U.S. | Reuters.

"URUMQI, China (Reuters) - At least 140 people have been killed in rioting in the capital of China's northwestern region of Xinjiang, with the government blaming exiled Muslim separatists for the area's worst case of ethnic unrest in years. Hundreds of rioters have been arrested, the official Xinhua news agency reported, after rock-throwing Uighurs took to the streets of the regional capital on Sunday, some burning and smashing vehicles and confronting ranks of anti-riot police."
Jag tror inte Kinas nationella integritet är given utan Kina kan mycket väl balkaniseras när kommunistpartiet tappar makten. I Internet eran får dessa yttringar snabb spridning vilket gör att regimen känner sig hotad och kommer att överreagera för att stävja. Den rådande lågkonjunkturen har drabbat Kina hårt i vissa delar där arbetslösheten stigit till rekordnivåer. Om Kina börjar glida åt fragmentisering kan mycket väl landet brytas upp. Historiskt har Kina varit en isärbrutet och svagt rike.
Jag lägger till i all enkelhet att kärnvapenhotet, som varit marginaliserat sedan muren föll, är reellt i ett kinesiskt inbördeskrig, precis somi Pakistan, och är en förbisedd risk.
Hela 1920-talet till kommunisterna tog över var Kina i ett inbördeskrig och senare i ett
yttre krig med Japan fram till 1945.

"TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Friday praised the bravery of Iranians who protested against a disputed election in the face of "outrageous" violence, while a hardline Iranian cleric called for the execution of leading "rioters." Iran's top legislative body, which had said it found no major violations in the presidential election which set off the worst unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, said 10 percent of ballot boxes would be recounted."

Iran says courts will teach protesters a lesson | Reuters.

"Those arrested in recent events will be dealt with in a way that will teach them a lesson," the official IRNA news agency quoted senior judiciary official Ebrahim Raisi as saying on state television late on Monday. He said a special court was studying the cases. "The rioters should be dealt with in an exemplary way and the judiciary will do that," Raisi said."
Nu kommer hämnden för regimen mot de oppositionella - specialdomstolar som skall lära dem en läxa dvs långvariga fängelsestraff och eventuella ett antal dödsstraff. Bollen är dock i rullning. Jag tror det unga Iran har fått nog. På tid och längd faller den här regimen. I USA känner jag en del exil-persier - några undkom medan flera deras släktingar har dödats av islamisterna efter shahdömets fall 1979. Direkt efteråt dödades många som haft postyer i den förra regimen och det var andra som fick sätta livet till eftersom mobben tog tillfälleti akt när samhället var i upplösning.

David Weidner's Writing on the Wall: Bill Clinton's legacy is our financial disaster - MarketWatch

2009-06-23T01:32:05-05:00

David Weidner's Writing on the Wall: Bill Clinton's legacy is our financial disaster - MarketWatch.

"Clinton bashing -- like Bush bashing -- is often a cop out, but he made some critical mistakes when it came to dealing with the financial industry. Three poor decisions stand out. The first was a change in 1997 to the amount of taxes a homeowner had to pay on the sale of his or her home on up to $500,000. This change effectively made buying and selling a home for profit the most compelling investment in America by tax standards. It changed our housing market from one of supply and demand to one of rampant speculation. The second mistake was one of inaction. In 1998, Long-Term Capital Management's use of derivatives and leverage required a massive $3.6 billion hedge fund bailout organized by the New York Federal Reserve Bank. After the fiasco rocked the markets, the administration was on the spot. Would it require tighter regulation of this new form of investment vehicle? Would it rein in the derivatives markets? Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Arthur Levitt and Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin counseled against it to varying degrees and Clinton relented. Repeal of Glass-Steagall But perhaps the biggest mistake of the Clinton years regarding Wall Street and the one that rings loudest today was the repeal of Glass-Steagall, a 1933 law that effectively split investment banking and brokerages from commercial banks. In the years leading up to the repeal, Wall Street had been grumbling that the law had become an anachronism. Financial technology was sophisticated. We were so much smarter than they were back in 1929 that there was no way a financial services conglomerate could pose a threat to the system, Wall Street experts said. Besides, they argued, it was a good idea for a bank to handle customers' investments and savings as a hedge in the bad times."

Poll: Optimism wanes over stimulus - Washington Post- msnbc.com.

"WASHINGTON - Barely half of Americans are now confident that President Obama's $787 billion stimulus measure will boost the economy, and the rapid rise in optimism about the state of the nation that followed the 2008 election has abated, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll."

Obama måste visa reella resultat inom åtta - tio månader annars är kongressvalen 2010 i fara. Optimismen sjunker nu rätt snabbt när det gälles dennes förmåga att leda nationen till ekonomisk återhämtning.
