Legal immigration in France will be something like 200,000 people (plus dependents) in 2010. Immigration actually rose mightily since Sarko is president.<br /><br />Sarko's strategy is: vociferous speeches and purely symbolic gestures to appeal to conservative white voters, and lax policies to please his millionaire friends, who want cheap labor.<br /><br />Basically, any illegal alien who finds a job in France can be legalized. It's a permanent, slow motion amnesty for illegal immigrants.<br /><br />Similarly, Sarko is very vociferous in his "law and order" speeches, but he discreetly suppressed 10,000 police jobs. Crime is on the rise, and the manipulation of crime statistics can't hide it anymore.<br /><br />Sarko supports affirmative action (against the wishes of the majority of the French) and he likes "la diversité". He even wanted it included in the constitution (which would have made affirmative action legal, even compulsory) but this particular modification of the constitution was rejected even by Sarko's political friends.Vilkonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-31898666438873201182010-12-02T01:39:04.075-08:002010-12-02T01:39:04.075-08:00Churchill suffered from the "black dog" ...Churchill suffered from the "black dog" as well.

This is, after all, a business model that's worked for Pakistan in the past.<br /><br />The incentives for nonproliferation are all screwed up. Everyone on Earth understands that the day after Iran test fires its first nuke, the whole "bomb bomb Iran" idea will be permanently off the table. In particular, the guys running things in Iran certainly know it. This has consequences. <br /><br />IMO, this is where the invasion of Iraq really screwed us over. The message was basically, "If it looks like good domestic politics to pick some random thugocracy and invade it, that's just what we'll do, even if it poses no threat to anyone outside its borders." If you're Iranian, and you're looking at domestic politics in the US that might very well reward another such invasion, my guess is you've got a hell of an incentive to get nukes. <br /><br />We're setting ourselves up for a world where there are 40-50 open nuclear powers.

Israel doesn't seem worried. Could it be those five they set off back in the 1990's (all five on one day!) was some kind of hoax?<br /><br />Once India tested theirs it would have been in everyone's interest if the Pakistani masses only thought they had nukes too, when in reality they did not, for the simple reason that they could not afford them.

Since most Americans figure it would be a good idea, and a mark of balls not eunuch-ism. Heck Hillary could run for the nomination as a Clintonian centrist arguing that she alone possess the balls to take on foreign challenges.<br /><br />I don't think Obama's depression matters that much. If he was or was not, he's unable intellectually or constitutionally to use military force or the credible threat of it to get things he needs:<br /><br />A. Iran to back off nukes and thus back off its play to control the Persian Gulf to Eastern Med.<br /><br />B. Pakistan to play ball on securing nuke material.<br /><br />C. China to put a leash on North Korea.<br /><br />With a global financial system interconnected and thus instability wired right in to every country in the world, keeping things stable by credible US military action is vital. Could Obama threaten China with say, arming Japan and South Korea and Australia with nukes to counter North Korea? Or high tariffs on Chinese goods if they don't keep a leash on North Korea and stop helping Iran's nuke program?<br /><br />Nope. He's even less capable of bombing the hell out of Iran (which would be wildly domestically popular and takes a play out of Republicans) to get in exchange oil prices at $40 a barrel for three years (there's your economic stimulus right there). Brent and WTI Crude has been hovering around $85 a barrel for months. A massive and temporary cut to about half which the Saudis could do in exchange for US plastering their enemies would stimulate the economy massively: almost everything gets cheaper. Too bad for Iranians, but Obama is supposed to be President of the US not Iran or "the World."Whiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854764809682029464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-38107751490564338672010-12-01T12:24:12.877-08:002010-12-01T12:24:12.877-08:00Or, reality is ugly and intrudes on the hyper-Libe...Or, reality is ugly and intrudes on the hyper-Libertarian fantasies of an America alone in the universe.<br /><br />WikiLeaks revealed sources and methods including critical Afghan and Iraqi helpers in identifying Taliban and Iranian/AQ operatives.
