Poor relations

The EU is writing rules to "harmonize" criminal law against hackers and virus-spreaders, but online protest organizing could get caught in the middle. That could have severe consequences for groups like Move On, among others.

For an example of a principled letter of resignation, I recommend reading this. It's from the Political Counselor in the U.S. Embassy to Athens. He's of the opinion that the current Administration is destroying all our relationships with our allies out of arrogance.

Here's a cautionary tale about Bosnia, and a possible precursor to post-war Iraq.

Is the US risking future basing rights and thus potential power projection through its bellicosity with its friends? Former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Chas Freeman thinks we may be.

Thank you, Ms. Toxic! I just find things that interest me and might interest others, that's all.
