JAPAN - Know grasp the outstretched hand
The inhabitants of the Tohoku [northern region of Honshu, the main island] were very brave face to the tragedies caused by the earthquake of March 11. Once safe, they calmly waited for rescue, and despite their distress, they helped those who were worse off than their own. In South Korea, until the end of April, I can say that the coolness of Japanese victims was welcomed.
However, the silence of the Japanese government to face the catastrophe of the Fukushima Daiichi plant and reconstruction plan has caused some confusion. How Japan will he be able to manage the confusion caused by the earthquake? To allow a new Japan to emerge and rebuild as quickly as possible, the government should be willing to accept help and cooperation of Asian countries, starting with South Korea.

AMALGAM - DSK: Too rich, too powerful and too Jewish ...?
It's a story to drool all anti-Semitic, to shake all Jews worried. To summarize: the French Dominique Strauss-Kahn is an extremely rich Jewish economist and international in scope, also married to a journalist and known as much for his extravagant lifestyle as for his leftist views. Housed in a sequel to 3000 dollars [$ 525 according to the IMF] in a New York hotel, he was suspected of trying to rape a brutally poor maid, a devout Muslim from Africa and vulnerable to the west, before taking a plane to Paris (first class, of course) as if nothing had happened.
PARALLEL - The bad movies DSK and Schwarzie
Oh, she wanted to, yes. They want it all, these young widows emigrants who work hard, in fear of God, and wear on household chores in a hotel in Times Square to raise their teenage daughter and take the chance offered to them by America. They expect an old satyr in rut arise, naked from the bathroom, rushed upon them, catch them and drag them across the room like a caveman.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn has a reputation as a seducer, but judging from the statements of the victim - a maid of 32 year-old from West Africa - the behavior of DSK is rape. "An evil beast" The director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was he trying to undo his belt, saying to whole nations to tighten? Lawyers for the sexagenarian seem willing to reject any DNA evidence by saying he would have been mutually granted with the young woman came clean his room.

SPAIN - These pamphlets that pave the way for the revolt
The appeal of this man Stéphane Hessel crossed the borders of France to sound in Spanish society, facing a crisis sistema. In Spain, his book indignation you! (¡Indignaos!, Editions Destino) is reinforced by a glowing foreword by José Luis Sampedro, also born in 1917.

Victims of an unemployment rate of 16%, they continue to approve to 80% in the polls. The same contradiction in the attitude of Europeans vis-à-vis the president of the United States.
