My view of the world

I just read the Rag Hand blog, in which Rags asserts that world politics never change.
He’s right you know, Even after renaming the KGB (КГБ) to the FSB (ФСБ), you have the same people doing the same jobs.
The new and improved FSB, formerly know as the KGB, now has their own web site, and according to the Italian press, it comes complete with a section devoted to recruiting double agents.
My Russian isn’t good enough to do more than sound out a few words, so I can’t confirm this, but it sounds right.
Putin, who is ex-KGB, is starting to make Stalin look like Miss Congeniality.

Egypt has had an emergency law in place since 1981, that is being used to oppress anybody who dares to suggest that there may be something wrong with the government.
Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif said the government would not use the legislation other than to protect “the citizen and the security of the nation and to combat terrorism” and President Hosni Mubarak had promised to abolish the law during his campaign for re-election last year. Guess who’s winning.
And if you’re an Egytion blogger, with an opinion that differs from the party line, this might be a good time to get the fuck outta Dodge.

King George and his court jesters, still see nothing wrong with destroying the constitution in the name of security, but the scary part is the sheer number of people who say they feel safer, and that W and company have done nothing wrong…….This is why civilized countrys make it illegal for first cousins to get married and have children.

Things never change, and all the shouting in the world is not going to make a damn bit of difference, but, from time to time it makes me feel better.
