I am pretty concerned about the attempt to bomb a US airliner. However, the latest news about the Obama administration and Yeman trying to find a target to retaliate against Al Qaeda in Yeman concerns me, too.

This starts to feel like the bombings by the Clinton administration after the USS Cole attack. The bombing attacked a wrong target and even if it did work, it would not have done much against Al Qaeda by one bombing. It feels the administration is more concerned about the political consequences than trying to defeat our enemies.

I think the administration to focus on more to attack the root of the problem than this kind of retaliations.

Green energy

China just passed a law to encourage renewable energy production and transmittion. I think many Democrats would start using this as a reason to pass laws in the US to do the same. However they failed to see the other side of the store. China is also working hard to acquire new oil resouces. The reason China wants renewable energy is quite different from what Democrat's. Democrats want to play nice and do the "right" thing. China wants to make sure she can get enough energy to power it's growing economy. So China is adding renewable energy on top of fossil fuel. So the Chinese priority is clear, economic development first and use everything to serve that, including renewable energy. If Democrat follow the same priority, then I have no problem. But the Democrat is to keep economy at the same level, or even lower it in order to use renewables.
