Actions like these are just more evidence that the Sri Lankan government wants as much as possible to turn away from global cooperation and influence. It only adds to the argument that I made yesterday that the government endangers its own chances of success.
Allowing the one side to win the propaganda war on the gobal [...]

A plea to the Irish
Posted in Debatt, Funderingar, Politik, tagged Democracy, European Union, Ireland, Irish, Plea, The Lisbon Treaty on May 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
During this year, the Treaty of Lisbon is going through its process of national ratification. One interesting thing about this is that national ratification actually is not the process where the people and inhabitants of the diverse nations of the Union are saying yea or nay to the proposal. No, the truth is that this [...]
Så vart det klart?

Då var Obama utropad som segrare. Åtminstone av dem som kan något, eller tycker att de kan något. Blir en intressant valomgång i West Virginia denna tisdagsnatt. Det finns ett antal frågetecken som ska bli intressanta att observera:
1. Stannar väljarna hemma eftersom att de anser att valet är klart? (Blir det ett lågt valdeltagande så [...]
Mr. Tvsangirai,

Accept the runoff! – Even the only, some what, independent observer states that You did not win straight out. It would be very disappointing if You showed to be yet another power driven fool. Even Mr. Mugabe was a champion of justice in the beginning.
Angående “Lissabon”-fördraget

Nedan följer en beskrivning av regeringsformens grundlagar gällande (negativt) beslutande folkomröstningar:
“Beslutande folkomröstning kan bli aktuell i tre fall. Det första gäller ändring av grundlag. Det andra gäller internationella överenskommelser. Ett internationellt fördrag som kräver ändringar i grundlag måste godkännas enligt samma procedur som grundlagsändring. Det tredje gäller överlåtelse av beslutanderätt till mellanfolklig organisation. En sådan [...]
US President versus international agreements

Stumpled over this article from the AP: Pentagon Releases Memo on Harsh Tactics. Basically, it tells about a memo from a high placed legal advisor in the Pentagon who explains to the us military why their interrogators can use harsh tactics, aka. torture, while questioning suspects. Apparently the attitude is that the wartime order of [...]
Why Simba Makoni is right to enter the presidential race

Tomorrow it is time for yet another round of presidential elections in Zimbabwe. The election is, in the western and Zimbabwean opposition´s mind, decided before the first vote is cast; in other words, generally believed to be staged. Robert Mugabe, the long time dictator, will probably win a majority of the vote. The opposition has, [...]
Vart går gränsen för smutspratandet och det negativa kampanjandet?

Såg för en tid sen ett HARDtalk-avsnitt där en av Obama´s rådgivare (Samantha Power) var dagens interjuvade. Intrycket man fick av henne var intellektuell och framåt; en person som verkade komplettera Obama precis där han behövde det (foreign policy).
Eftersom man på senare sett mer och mer av Obama´s mindre bra egenskaper så var det riktigt [...]
