Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsHuffoPo Posters Love Ahmadinejadclipped by: ColoradoRightclippers remarks: And yes - I dont think any of these posters are patriots. They are self-abusing haters of America. I always wondered why many people on the Left sought to appease Hitler before he started taking over Countries. Well, I think I understand why after reading the Huffington Post this morning. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to speak before the United Nations and gave Democratic talking points blaming the economic crisis on Americas War in Iraq. TS ABOUT TIME WE LISTEN TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN BUSH! This guy is correct. Our attempted colonization of a middle eastern country and the continued pouring of off the ledger money into it has affected the global economy. Hes right. The desire of America to "police" other countries is based on greed and nothing else. Iran hasnt attacked anyone in centuries...............yet the Useless States who has committed genocides in Iran and Vietnam has the nerve to preach to Iran. Sounds like the comments of a leader with a REAL world veiw. Its so refreshing to hear plain common sense.................... - The Population of China?s Provinces Comparedclipped by: JohnWatermanclippers remarks: # Zhejiang (47 million) South Africa # Yunnan (44 million) Colombia # Jiangxi (43 million) Tanzania # Liaoning (42 million) Argentina # Guizhou (39 million) Sudan # Heilongjiang (38 million) Poland # Shaanxi (37 million) Kenya # Fujian (35 million) Algeria # Shanxi (33 million) Canada # Chongqing (31 million) Morocco # Jilin (27 million) Afghanistan # Gansu (26 million) Saudi Arabia # Inner Mongolia (24 million) North Korea # Taiwan (23 million) Yemen # Xinjiang (20 million) Madagascar # Shanghai (18 million) Cameroon # Beijing (16 million) Angola # Tianjin (12 million) Cuba # Hainan (8 million) Austria # Hong Kong (7 million) El Salvador # Ningxia (6 million) Sierra Leone # Qinghai (5 million) Slovakia # Tibet (3 million) Jamaica # Macau (0,5 million) Cape Verde China is the world?s most populous nation (1). That much anybody knows. But even if we know a bit more (that the number of Chinese is around 1.32 billion, which is just under 20% of all humans alive today), that figure is still too big to mean much beyond that China is ?number one? (2). This map compares the population of China?s provinces (plus the ?renegade province? of Taiwan), autonomous regions and municipalities with those of whole countries, and thus helps shed some light on that issue.  Here, for easy reference, is a list in descending order of magnitude of those Chinese territories (their population in brackets) followed by the foreign country they compare to. "World needs a vacation from US"clipped by: syncopathclippers remarks: He called for immediate technology transfer from the West to the Third World, to allow development based on clean technology ? stressing the need to ?reject intellectual property rights?. funds should not be distributed through the World Bank, which was trying to regain legitimacy by portraying itself as a ?climate bank? while continuing to push fossil-fuel-driven development. Confronting global poverty and climate change means confronting US power. ?I don?t think the world needs US leadership?, he said. ?They should be more humble.? Whether the US achieves its goals ?is where we, as civil society come in?, Bello said, suggesting that, by making intervention costly for the US, civil society could encourage a ?new US isolationism?. The struggle is, he stressed, global. ?The world needs a vacation from the messaianism of the US ? A few decades of a self-absorbed US would be very good for the world.? Walden Bello: ?World needs a vacation from US?Speaking at the inaugural Ted Wheelwright Memorial Lecture for the Sydney University Department of Political Economy on September 1, Filipino anti-globalisation activist and academic Walden Bello, founding director of Focus on the Global South, contrasted the recent Beijing Olympics with the US Democrats national convention. He said that ?despite the glitter of both?, the one reflected that China had ?had a few bad centuries but was back on its feet? while the other reflected that the US was in a ?10-year downward spin that would only get worse under continued Republican rule?. Imperial overreach Having failed to learn the lesson of its defeat in Vietnam, that it takes ?more than heavy firepower to control a country?, the US had exposed its weakness in its wars against Iraq and Afghanistan. China ?China was one of the main beneficiaries of the Bush administration?s adventuring?
