ClearChannel Complains About XM, Sirius Radio
andyring writes "In the latest attempt by a big corporation with a failing business model to win by legislation and not in the marketplace, ClearChannel is whining to the FCC about XM Radio's recent foray into localized traffic and weather reports." Here I was thinking that satellite radio was a good thing for competition in radio.
Off-topic sig rant, but...
Actually I'm sure that America's enemies would love to see Bush in power. Hell, the people who trampled federal, state, and international law to put him in the White House are America's enemies, a worse long-term threat to this nation than Bin Laden. (And I'll bet Osama would prefere to see the guy who's been a failure in catching him stay in power.)
Hate America? Vote for Bush.

I think the real issue is realpolitik. Politics in the short term suck.
I'm skeptic about the mass grave pictures. Even with pictures on CNN, the world population just changed channels when they saw Chechenya, rwanda, etc pictures. US interests must now be at play, that's the foreign policy doctrine since Clinton.
Believe it or not, Muslims didn't like Iraq. Iraq was even a secular nation and Saddam added "Allah is great" on his flag after the first war to appeal to pan-islamic diaspora.
Believe me, muslims love america. What they don't like is military intervention without their consent. In other word they like the soft-power tactics not the hard-power ones. Heck, saddam even said that he watched baywatch.
UN was not the first international organisation. The first one was created after WWI but was too much idealistic so US+Britain+France+Russia+Germany withdrew.
I'm doing a degree in applied politics and the more I learn, the more cynic I become. At least the parties are great.
