Well regulated militia has to be interpretted in the context of the original intent of the framers of the document. That statute cannot be made to carry the burden of lax, unregulated, promiscuous, ill defined approach to gguns. In fact there are restrictions on guns. In most public places carrying concealed weapons is unlawful. What is required is a set of rules that firmly establish the parameters of gun ownership. Further, there is no 'positive law" that permits guns to be owned and transp

Do you think that banning guns from lawful citizens will stop the criminals (ya know people who break the law) from obtaining guns?[/quote][quote]Compare this to Europe where many more die per year in wars.

Judge Richard Bork, a conservative in his judicial pronouncements, said the the second ammendment guaranteed the "right of states to form militias, not for individual to bear arms". I want to share some statistics. Source: Time (international edition) Jan 24, 2011 p29. In one year 31,224 people die of gun related violence. <

I think Sarah Palin has to answer why she put REp Giffords district at "crosshairs". This iis an open incitement to violence and there is no excuse for this conduct. To trat political adversaries as enemies to be put at the cross hairs of a gun sight is to say the very least uncivilised.

The shooting at Tucson, Arizona, is shocking and I extend my sorrow to each one of the families of the victims. My hear goes out to the mother and father of the 9 year old child who was killed in that horrific incident. May God give the devastated parents the courage to face what ought not to have happened. Rep Gabrielle Giffords was targetted twice. Once by Sarah Palin who put her in the cross hairs of a gun sight

The CIA Stationa Chief has been forced to flee from Pakistan as his name was "outed" just as Valerie Palme was a few years back. Now the credit for the "outing " of the CIA station chief cannot be laid at the doorstep of WikiLeaks as that was done by the ISI of Pakistan in retaliation for naming their chief in a NEw York court.

The recent arrest of Julian Assange in London and the denial of bail raises some interesting questions. Is his arrest related to the release of the 250,000 secret cables of the US Department of State and the allegation of rape a mere pretext to extridite him to Sweden from where he can be sent to US to face possible trial under US laws. First, the Espionage Act of 1917 can be involked only against US citizens and those arreseted on US soil like the case of the 2 German spies who landed in New

[quote]or is he falsly accused in order to silence him[/quote] The timing is curious. The alleged incident happened over summer and Julian Assange says it was concenual sex so it will not stand in Court. I think the rape is only a ruse to get Assange to Sweden and then have him undergo, yes the Bush Administration hasd a new word for it extraordinary rendition to the USA. I feel that the European court will not permit the extradition to USA due tio the existence of the D

One of the fundamental values that USA and the West propounded in its sustained campaign against the erstwhile USSR was the fact that dissent and freedom of expression is regarded as sacrosant in Western society. Now the fact that the Chinese dissedent who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year is regarded as a hero by large sections of world public opinion is a tribute to the propaganda machinery that worked overtime to impress upon the world that d

The flurry of activity in the US State Department, with the Secretary of State Hilary Clinton making a brave attempt to explain to the world that US policy remains on course in spite of the free wheeling nature of the documents outed by Wikileaks. Though I have not gone through more than a small fraction of the documents, I cannot imagine any real probblem emanating from the publication of the embassy records. Of course there is that odd bit of political gossip

In all these extensive interventions, I have been attacked on assumptions that are just not true. I have stated very clearly in my post itself that she is guilty but that she had limited intellectual and mental ability and that mitigating circumstance should hve been considered. Second, the mysogny angle is rather strange. If so I should have welcomed the death peanlty and make it appear that she was more guilty than Rodney who actually killed the two. I have not done so. Third, USA kicked up

I do not want another fight on my hands. But really that Iranian woman's case was no different. She too stands accuesed and proven so of havinmg arranged the murder of her husband with the help of her married lover. And when the Iranians say that she has to be excecuted for the crime the whole world stands up and bays--killing a woman How very barbaric of the Iranians and so on. Why does the same arguments put forward so eloquently by so may do not apply to Iran.
