First off, I like your site and check it out a few times a month. Mainly to see what the news is in this part of the world, and occasionally to see your take, or articles from others, pertaining to news from the west.
Now Im not sure if these articles would be showing up on the next run of the links, but I felt the need to post these to you and politely ask "why no mention?"

For the record, without passing judgement, I view any and all opinions voiced as needed, if only to better understand or learn about views different from one's own. I can't help but feel this world is moving way too fast and definitely down a dangerous road. Where it ends, and how we all get there, is hopefully still undecided.
