Democracy for public debts

It seems that states may go bankrupt after overspending.  But the underlying problem is that this money spending behavior of politicians is necessary to keep the people voting. More fundings, social and health security, transport infrastructure etc. is well acclaimed. After going bankrupt some citizens don't have cars anymore to use this infrastructure. So it is necessary to rethink the steering of public spendings. Much more direct democracy might be the solution.

Next War Ahead for the U.S.A?

The ties of the US intelligence to the Pakistani intelligence were not so close when killing Osama Bin Laden. Tensions are rising. May be Pakistan is preparing an assault on U.S. troops in Iraq. President Obamas retreat of the troops from Iraq may be the last chance to avoid an open conflict. This new war would be very dangerous because of the existence of some atomic weapons in Pakistan. The killing of Bin Laden was a calculated risk which would not trigger this war, but tensions were certainly rising.
