The UN General Assembly has admitted South Sudan as the 193rd member of the United Nations. The vote followed the African country's achievement of independence on Saturday, breaking away from Sudan after more than 50 years of on-and-off war. "I declare South Sudan a member of the United Nations," Joseph Deiss, president of the General Assembly, said after Thursday's vote. The independence declaration for the world's newest state followed a January referendum in which southerners voted to secede from the north.

Digg this video: digg.com When foreign policy is well-reasoned, we see attention given to humanitarian issues like housing, jobs, health care and education. When that policy consists of applying a military solution to a political problem, however, we see death, destruction, and suffering. Director Robert Greenwald witnessed the latter during his recent trip to Afghanistan--the devastating consequences of US airstrikes on thousands of innocent civilians. The footage you are about to see is poignant, heart-wrenching, and often a direct result of US foreign policy. We must help the refugees whose lives have been shattered by US foreign policy and military attacks. Support the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, an organization dedicated to helping women and children, human rights issues, and social justice. Then, become a Peacemaker.

Gaddafi Blames Al-Qaeda & Western Media For Inciting Violence in Libya
Gaddafi Blames Al-Qaeda & Western Media For Inciting Violence in Libya
Muammar al-Gaddafi was born in a bedouin tent in the desert near Sirt in 1942. At age 27 Gaddafi, with a taste for safari suits and sunglasses, sought to become the new "Che Guevara of the age". On 1 September 1969, a small group of junior military officers led by Gaddafi staged a bloodless coup d'état against King Idris while he was in Turkey for medical treatment. His nephew, the Crown Prince Sayyid Hasan ar-Rida al-Mahdi as-Sanussi, had been formally deposed by the revolutionary army officers and put under house arrest; they abolished the monarchy and proclaimed the new Libyan Arab Republic. A Revolutionary Command Council was formed to rule the country, with Gaddafi as chairman. Unlike some other military revolutionaries, Gaddafi did not promote himself to the rank of general upon seizing power, but rather accepted a ceremonial promotion from captain to colonel and has remained at this rank since then.

Gaddafi based his new regime on a blend of Arab nationalism, aspects of the welfare state, and what Gaddafi termed "popular democracy", or more commonly "direct, popular democracy". He called this system "Islamic socialism", and, while he permitted private control over small companies, the government controlled the larger <b>...</b>
