Tony Blair: I do not believe we can or should stand aside from the global struggle against extremism
Look at what Assad in Syria is doing to his people following the Arab upheavals and the effect on the whole of the Middle East, and then think what Saddam would be doing in Iraq and the impact it would have. Yes, Iraq still has huge problems. The terrorists still commit their acts of terror. But that is not the whole picture. In the north, 90 per cent say security – and life – has improved.

UN reopens talks on NRA-opposed arms trade treaty
Negotiators will reconvene this week to try to hammer out a landmark U.N. treaty designed to regulate the multibillion-dollar global arms trade amid objections from a bipartisan group of legislators and the most powerful gun-rights lobbying group in the U.S.

Americans get serious about impeachment
Not only have voters begun to connect the dots between the faltering economy and global insecurity to Obama’s administration in significant numbers, they also have begun to join him in calling for “change.” Only this is the impeachment type of change, not the type Obama has so often preached.

Israel Prepares To Preemptively Strike Syria
The warning came as the military moved a rocket defense system to a main northern city, and Israel’s premier warned of dangers from both Syria and Iran.

U.S. Would Take 'Very Seriously' Request for ODIHR Monitoring of Papal Election
“Does the United States regard the election of the Pope to--that election to have met international standards for the election of a world leader? He is, after all, a head of state, and a head of government. … You routinely criticize countries or governments for having elections where there is not universal suffrage, where there is not any possibility of appealing the results, where there is not--where there were no monitors, for example. I’m wondering if this meets the standard for a free and fair election in your mind?"

Pope Francis tells Vatican to prepare for change
Pope Francis has put the Vatican hierarchy on notice of sweeping changes as he prepares this week to study a secret report into skulduggery and intrigue within the Church's dysfunctional governing body

Federal Judge Finds National Security Letters Unconstitutional, Bans Them
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ordered the government to stop issuing so-called NSLs across the board, in a stunning defeat for the Obama administration’s surveillance practices. She also ordered the government to cease enforcing the gag provision in any other cases. However, she stayed her order for 90 days to give the government a chance to appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Comet Follows Future Pope To Rome
I can't find out the exact date that Cardinal Bergoglio arrived in Rome but there is a photo titled "Italian cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio arrives for a meeting of pre-conclave on March 9, 2013 at the Vatican" here: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/03/13/meet-the-new-pope-cardinal-jorge-mario-bergoglio/ I find this very interesting almost like the Star of Bethlehem that announced the birth of Christ. Could comet Panstarrs be announcing something much more sinister? Only time will tell.

Chilling Report: 10,000+ could die in major Northwest quake
Ore. (AP) - More than 10,000 people could die when — not if — a monster earthquake and tsunami occur just off the Pacific Northwest coast, researchers told Oregon legislators Thursday. Coastal towns would be inundated. Schools, buildings and bridges would collapse, and economic damage could hit $32 billion.

Aucklanders shaken, not stirred, as quake hits under volcano
The first quake, registering just over three on the Richter scale, hit just after 4pm and was felt in parts of Auckland. A bigger 3.9 quake centred on Motutapu Island beside the volcano Rangitoto sent many scurrying into the streets. Auckland is believed to be far from major fault lines, but the city is built on a field of more than 40 volcanoes, the youngest of which – Rangitot0 – blew up only 700 years ago.

Report: Israel to Seek US Attack on Syria, or Freedom to Do So
Syria promises to loom large in discussions between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack H. Obama when the latter visits Israel this week. And according to the Guardian newspaper in Britain, those discussions will entail an Israeli request for the U.S. to take military action against Syria.

A BBC reporter in the city says a loud explosion was heard near the National Theatre. Security has improved in Mogadishu over the past year following the withdrawal of the al-Qaeda linked al-Shabab group.

Cyprus considers tax-free threshold for smaller deposits: government source
Cyprus is considering the introduction of a tax-free threshold for smaller bank deposits, a government source said on Monday, in an attempt to win over lawmakers hostile to a bank levy announced over the weekend that is needed to avert a default. "There is an attempt to mitigate the burden on smaller depositors, with a zero tax rate," the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity. He said the tax-free level was still under discussion.

Syria opposition pushes to form interim government
Syria's main opposition coalition began a push Monday to form an interim government to provide services to people living in parts of the country now controlled by rebel forces.

It also concerns mutual strategic interests between countries," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing.
