Acting like Children

When it comes to the really big problems in the world, we can only count on the world's leaders to act in the most childish of ways, by saying the most childlike things:

Palestine and Israel have been playing at this game, with deadly consequences, for decades now, where one side attacks the other with the premise being retaliation: "THEY attacked US first!!".

Where the subject of reducing emissions that are the source of toxic pollution and probably global warming, a spokesman for China's environment ministry has recently been saying the same thing that Americas' President, together with Canada's Prime Minister, who routinely say: "No, we won't do anything about reducing emissions until THEY do"

GROW UP!!

Hey, thanks for the brilliant insights into world politics, Noah! Those Israelis and Palestinians should just "Grow Up". Same with the Chinese!

It reminds me of the penetrating and nuanced analysis provided by Oscar Rogers.

(What the hell is this doing in "News by the rest of us" anyway??)

Careful Gypsy, revolutionary ideas like that can get CSIS on your back.

This is a tagline. It has nothing to do with the comments posted above. Just a tagline...really. Please disregard.
