...these elections are largely an outlet for European voters to express their frustration with the status quo. The eccentrics and extremists may offer implausible E.U. policies, but most European governments prefer voters to vent their anger at the European elections rather than at the national polls. The danger is that this mood will shape the Parliament just when a new generation of politicians is needed to pull Europe out of its apathetic slump...

Sypher has also spoken to Louisville's Courier-Journal newspaper...
...leaders began sounding the alarm last week when the militants, buoyed by a peace agreement that put them into effective control of the Swat Valley, extended their reach by taking control of Buner - a province 60 miles from Pakistan's capital, as every media outlet hastened to explain. Pentagon leaders warned that the militants had become an "existential threat" to the Pakistani state. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described the situation as a "mortal danger" to global security and bluntly demanded that the Pakistani military - a recipient of more than $10 billion in U.S. aid over the past decade...
