General Assembly. That&#8217;s when member nations plan to press for an independent Palestine. The Israel lobby is furious. Critics doubt that the General Assembly has the authority to recognize Palestine. Yet protection of member sovereignty has been a goal of the [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/06/01/the-u-s-israeli-train-wreck/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Is Pakistan Being Cast as the Next Plausible Evil Doer?</title><link>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/05/11/is-pakistan-being-cast-as-the-next-plausible-evil-doer/</link> <comments>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/05/11/is-pakistan-being-cast-as-the-next-plausible-evil-doer/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 11 May 2011 05:16:59 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jeff Gates</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Opinion]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pakistan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[United States]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/?p=11863</guid> <description><![CDATA[Conspiracy theorists assure us that Osama bin Laden was killed in December 2001 and his body put on ice in—of course—an undisclosed location.

Leadership for that change is emerging from Arab nations. The appeal of the Knowledge Society is apparent. Who could object to nations preparing their citizens for the 21st century? Yet unless knowledge is changed, the result could worsen an already [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/01/10/the-seduction-of-the-knowledge-based-society/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Commonsense Money</title><link>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/01/10/commonsense-money/</link> <comments>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/01/10/commonsense-money/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:37:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jeff Gates</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Opinion]]></category> <category><![CDATA[United States]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/?p=8376</guid> <description><![CDATA[America debt based currency]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/01/10/commonsense-money/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>A Commonsense Solar Defense</title><link>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/01/01/a-commonsense-solar-defense/</link> <comments>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/01/01/a-commonsense-solar-defense/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Jan 2011 15:17:43 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jeff Gates</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Afghanistan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Opinion]]></category> <category><![CDATA[United States]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/?p=8352</guid> <description><![CDATA[Three days before Christmas, the U.S. Congress authorized $725 billion in defense spending for 2011. Adjusted for inflation, that’s the most since 1945, the last year of World War II. With numbers that large, making comparisons is difficult. Yet consider this. The United Nations reports that 1.5 billion people still live without electricity.

Financial markets reflect today’s appraisal of tomorrow’s cash flows. More cash means more flows. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke conceded early on in 2008 that the Fed was “printing money.” [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2010/12/20/deflation-inflation-%e2%80%93-take-your-pick/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Dissolving the Union</title><link>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2010/12/09/dissolving-the-union/</link> <comments>http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2010/12/09/dissolving-the-union/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Dec 2010 04:54:54 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jeff Gates</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Opinion]]></category> <category><![CDATA[United States]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/?p=8223</guid> <description><![CDATA[For those who think the U.S. is broke, think again.
