Grave Situation in Greece
Civil unrest rages on as citizens there continue to lose faith in a corrupt government. The country’s economy is in shambles with roughly 20% of the population living below the poverty line and the youngest members of the workforce (those ages 15-24) not able to find employment (19% unemployment). A teenaged student being gunned down by police didn’t help matters.
Could we be seeing this on our own soil soon?

Blagojevich Busted
Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich (D) (pictured above) and his chief of staff were arrested by the feds for trying to auction off the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama. US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who will prosecute the case, called it a “political corruption crime spree.” This would be shocking news if it came from anywhere other than the state of Illinois, which has a history of such malfeasance.

U.S. Puts the Pressure on Pakistan
With the recent Mumbai massacre, it is apparent that Pakistan needs to reign in the lawlessness near its border with Afghanistan. President Bush urged Pakistan to take a tougher stance on terrorists in the region. President-elect Obama will need to be committed to his words and follow suit. Allowing terrorists to further destabilize relations between nuclear neighbors Pakistan and India would have devastating consequences.
