An Israeli Attack On Iran Would Reduce
Barack Obama To A One-Term President
By Juan Cole

http://www.countercurrents.org/cole160810.htm

A Netanyahu attack on Iran would reduce Barack Obama to a one-term president, which may be what Goldberg and his fellow conspirators are really aiming for. That success would after all allow them to keep to the 5-year timetable for another Asian land war


Formalizing Israel's Land Grab
By Chris Hedges

Wake Up Obama
By Joel S. Hirschhorn

http://www.countercurrents.org/joel160810.htm

It seems that Obama has taken some power-narcotic and entered into a delusional mental state. He persists in talking as if the Great Recession is over and all is going just swell. His wife takes the kids for a vacation in Spain and soon the whole family will go up to a swank place in Cape Cod for another vacation and, of course, Obama likes to go out golfing frequently. Does any rational being perceive he really feels the pain that so many citizens feel? He lives the life of a typical rich and powerful corporate CEO, not a servant of the people

Kashmir: Green Turns Red
By Idrees Athar

http://www.countercurrents.org/athar160810.htm

I had vowed some years ago not to write even a single line – much against my intrinsic tendencies. The gory images of young boys and their descriptions rattled my conscience. For days I couldn't sleep. Despite the bunch of high worded prayers nothing came to my rescue


Imagining Kashmir From India
By Rahul Pathak

http://www.countercurrents.org/pathak160810.htm

It is necessary that we should understand this Kashmiri imagination and then progress with the healing process.

Kashmir needs a serious dialogue amongst all the stakeholders and a dialogue which will not betray the deaths of these children who had their imaginations about Kashmir and which we are unable to see because of our Indian sunglasses
