[BBC World Have Your Say] On air: Your questions to the CIA « BBC World Have Your Say: Nakhleh this morning and have one question for him: Just how much influence does the pro-Israel lobby have over the formulation of US foreign policy and what, if anything, does he think should be done about restraining that influence? The reason I ask is that I think it will be truly difficult for the US to maintain even a semblance of impartiality in the Arab and Muslim world if the current perception that pro-Israel forces drive US foreign policy-making continues, as evidenced by the Obama administration’s response to the recent Israeli attacks on Gaza.

[ThoughtRocket Blog] Real Leadership for Social Responsibility and Sustainable Abundance: The real question of leadership is not what skills you possess but rather, “What are you trying to accomplish?”  The problem with our leadership education and development system is that we haven’t been asking the right questions so we have few of the right answers.  We have glorified accumulation instead of contribution, and our economy thrives on consumption instead of creation.  There is too much “me” and too little “we.”  Nobel Prize winner John Nash (of the movie A Beautiful Mind) proved that the greatest good for each of us occurs in an economic system that promotes the greatest good for all of us.  Isn’t it time to extinguish the illusion that we are not responsible for the world we have created?  Isn’t it time to elevate the avowed commitment of every leader to fulfill the mandate to create a future of sustainable abundance?  To do that we must radically reject the synthetic justifications for selfishness and embrace the practical imperative of our mutual responsibilities to each other.  In the only future we honestly desire our social responsibility to each other is the only ideal with the power to reduce human suffering and enable our pursuit of genuine happiness.  This is not a burden of leadership; rather it is its essential opportunity.

[*SUSAN LOONE's Blog*] Political asylum or migration, Mahathir? « *SUSAN LOONE’s Blog*: Sad to say, his deputy, a traitor of the most despicable sort, abused his power to legalise short selling of currency and stocks and facilitated the CROOKS to come and devalued them by 90%, a measure meant to destroy our economy.

[Thomas PM Barnett :: Weblog] The transcript of Tom's Politics & Prose speech (Thomas P.M. ...: Our international liberal trade order, for a long time known as the West and now known as globalization, replaced the corrupt, unjust, and exploitative colonial world order maintained by Eurasian powers over the previous several centuries--a world order that finally self-destructed in a massive civil war that ran from 1914 to 1949. And when that West, created and protected and nurtured by American power and wealth, grew so wealthy itself, that, by 1980 a mere fraction of the world's population controlled two-thirds of its productive power, it finally attracted the attention of the socialist East, leading Deng Xiaoping, new leader of post-Mao China, to decide that the Middle Kingdom would both marketize itself and join the world for the first time in half a millennia.
