Our tribal people will not be scared off with drone attacks."

In order to make more people in the West and USA aware of the disastrous "Drone " attacks on civilians by the USA a large number of citizens in Afghanistan are taking part in anti-Drone protests and a march into the area hit with the most American Drone attacks Waziristan.
American anti-war protesters including Code Pink have joined the Afghanistan protest hoping by their presence to get mor coverage in America's mainstream Media and that of Europe.
This is in part an unfortunate reality that if hundreds of thousands of Afghani citizens protest and march much of the mainstream media will not cover such as story as we have seen over the years so when hundreds of thousands of iraqis protested again and again against the American and British occupation such newsworthy events were ignored by the West in order to not offend the USA.

Here's a great little video we happened onto examining whether Jesus and God are Republicans even though the Bible suggest otherwise ie having compassion and tolerance while helping the poor and the weak, forgiving and even loving one's enemies .
Obama 's & NATO'S supposedly "Good War" in Libya which was meant according to the Obama administration and his NATO minions to bring about reform and a more democratic form of government . And now we see as often happens after American and NATO interference another country torn apart much of its infrastructure destroyed and tens of thousands of Libyan civilians killed and the country ungovernable and now descending into chaos just as Iraq did after the American invasion in 2003 and Iraq is still a violent and unstable country.

Armed Libyan forces continue to surround the city of Bani Walid, Libya. As tension between government troops and opposition supporters continues to mount, residents have been left without food and other supplies -- and are calling on the UN for help.
Mitt Romney's gaffes in foreign policy issues are serious and can be seen as worse to come if he becomes president . Even staunch conservatives and Neo-cons are concerned about Mitt Romney's ability to deal with foreign affairs.
But on the other hand there are those US citizens who may defend and even like Romney's attitude in their view of promoting America's values and its super-power dominance and therefore expressing the notion of America First and American exceptionalism and that America need not kow-tow to other nations .
This attitude is also at one with the Theocons and Religious Right who believe that America is God's chosen nation and no matter what happens it must fulfill its God ordained destiny as God's army against the enemies of God read Islam and other in their view false religions , false ideologies, false economic theories which are at odds with unfettered deregulated Capitalism and America's traditional Judeo-Christian values .
