Over the past year, I've been criticised for my "cynicism" towards Obama, because I continue to point out that, the 'race' issue aside, the election still leaves the RepubliCrat Party in control of the country.

Analyses since the election seems to support my views.

I have been proven right in my assessment that Obama would not change a damn thing about the course of US politics has been proven true in mere days after his election.

In the first major appointment of his administration, President-elect Barack Obama has named as his chief of staff Congressman Rahm Emanuel, an Israeli citizen and Israeli army veteran whose father, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, was a member of Menachem Begin's Irgun forces during the Nakba (ethnic cleansing of 800 thousand Palestinians) and named his son after "a Lehi combatant who was killed" -- i.e., a member of Avram Stern's terrorist Stern Gang, responsible for, in addition to other atrocities against Palestinians, the more famous bombing of the King David Hotel and assassination of the UN peace envoy Count Folke Bernadotte.

The more things "CHANGE" the more they stay the same.

Sadly, I fear that little real change will occur in regards to the policies of the Neo-Cons. But here's hoping!!

US President-elect Barack Obama said that Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons was "unacceptable" and that the Islamic Republic must stop supporting "terrorist organizations."

What's to disagree with?

The point is that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, and the Extremists making these unfounded allegations - the same nuclear-armed War Criminals who LIED to start wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - have created the illusion of a crisis with the sole purpose of starting yet another illegal war.
