This is an excellent, MUST READ article bu Paul Schulte, a former UN Disarmament Commissioner. Check it out!

via Chemical Massacre In Syria: A Former UN Disarmament Commissioner’s View.

This is a very balanced viewpoint, in my judgement. Let me share the conclusion:

This is a wicked problem with two principles (often labelled formal legality versus moral legitimacy) in grinding dispute. But under these ugly yet ineluctable circumstances, a default option to do nothing is a far-reaching decision in itself.

Any thoughts?

This is an interesting article from the Guardian and is well worth a read. 

The eurozone will pay a high price for Germany’s economic narcissism | Hans Kundnani | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk.

It argues that Germany is following an extremist policy of economic narcissism which is benefiting Germany at the expense of the rest of Europe.

The article maintains that Germany policy is based on the concept of “ordoliberalism’ which is a Germanic view of neoliberalism ( the Austrian & Chicago Schools of economics which favour austerity and monetarism, rather Keynesianism).

Let me know what you think?
