North Korea rocket launch provokes widespread condemnation | World news | guardian.co.uk

North Korea rocket launch provokes widespread condemnation | World news | guardian.co.uk: "US, UK, Japan, South Korea and UN condemn launch while China urges 'prudent and moderate' response to situation"

In the mid time the US launched a mini un-maned shuttle into space and the public does not know what the shuttle's function is but the world knows that the US has weapons of mass destruction  which could be used against other nations as it has already done on Japan. Certainly the US as is North Korea, Israel, France, Britain, Germany, China, Russia and Co. are all very dangerous. (My comment)

Anti-European tide sets Britain's ruling party against Brussels | Reuters: "Europe has never been popular among British Conservatives.

There is a tradition of resentment of Brussels, dating back to the era of Margaret Thatcher, who demanded and secured a rebate from the EU budget for Britain in the 1980s.

The separatist map of Africa: interactive | World news | guardian.co.uk: "When African states gained independence, the continent's new leaders agreed to respect the old colonial borders to avoid endless wars. But separatist movements still abound"

We should note that the colonial borders never took into account the different tribes and their undrawn territories; this has had dire consequences on Africa's stability, and are to a large extent responsible for many of the tribal unrests. Western countries and China have exploited these conflicts selling weapons to a favored tribe over others and thus gained access to Africa's rich resources.
