That the top leaders in China and their policies have not been able to solve the Tibet issue in the last 70 years.
The idea of political independence is something that has been slowly eroded as a go to option for most ethnic minorities. They can never have the mass to enforce an advantage and certainly never have the morel right as well. That is just plain wrong and it appears that even the CCP is coming to that conclusion. As the Dalai Lama observes, the Indian union is handling thousands of ethnic tribes successfully and allowing their uniqueness while folding them all into national life as well.

I Can't Wait To Read American Carnage
On Saturday, Lloyd Green reviewed Tim Alberta's new book, *American Carnage* for *The Guardian*. He referred to it as "compelling, alarming and scoop-heavy history." Trump's obsessive attacks on Paul Ryan this week, guaranteed the book all the coverage it would need to put it into the top of the charts when it's released on Tuesday. Like the deity on the sixth day of creation, Donald Trump has recast the Republican party in his own image. Aggrieved and belligerent is the new normal. The soul of the party has migrated from the sun belt to the Bible belt, from the suburbs to rura... more »
Good intentions are not enough
In the past, I’ve made three arguments about utilitarianism: 1. It’s the correct moral system. 2. It’s the way the world is trending. 3. It’s consistent with classical liberalism. I used examples such as the prohibition on the sale of kidneys, an anti-utilitarian policy that is likely to be repealed at some point. I predict […] The post Good intentions are not enough appeared first on Econlib.

Note to Trump: Iran Would Need 1 Year to Build a Nuclear Weapon
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* Iran is taking steps to shorten the time it would take to produce a nuclear warhead. Iran is taking steps to shorten the time it would take to produce a nuclear warhead. The commission overseeing the 2015 deal limiting Iran’s nuclear program is “treating this issue with the seriousness it deserves,” said Jackie Wolcott, the U.S. ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

President Trump's War Power Delusions
*Doug Bandow* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Donald Trump claims that he has right to unilaterally and irresponsibly go to war at his discretion. His aides appear to be creatively justifying that stance. We should celebrate the fact that President Donald Trump stepped back from war with Iran. But he followed up with even more violent rhetoric and the claim that he wasn’t even required to notify Congress of his plans, let alone to seek its authorization to launch military strikes. However, the decision for war is not his to make. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo took a diffe... more »

America Should Rethink Its Commitments to Allies
*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Extended nuclear may be more dangerous than everyone thinks. Washington’s demands toward North Korea and Iran have one important feature in common. In both cases, U.S. officials in multiple administrations have insisted that America’s adversary renounce any ambition to possess nuclear weapons or a significant ballistic missile capability. The underlying assumption is that if Tehran or Pyongyang possesses even a small nuclear arsenal, it would pose not only an unacceptable threat to regional peace but also a dire threat to A... more »

Then there's the trope of maddening indirection
Drawing via Corner Poetry.The New York Times: WASHINGTON — President Trump on Sunday weighed in on the friction between a group of four freshman Democratic congresswomen and Speaker Nancy Pelosi: He suggested that the congresswomen — none of whom are white — should “go back and help fix” the countries they came from. His message was immediately seized upon by Democrats, who called it a racist trope. Trope? Reader, Democrats did not call it a trope of any kind. Speaker Pelosi said it was "xenophobic" I reject @realDonaldTrump’s xenophobic comments meant to divide our nation. Rather... more »

What's newsworthy, or important, about the President's racist tweet-storm? (Short answer: It's not anything about Trump himself.)
As I'm sure you've all heard by now, the President of the United States issued a series of grotesque, race-baiting, xenophobic (not to mention factually inaccurate) tweets this morning. Of course he did. After all, it's a day of the week ending in "ay." As horrifying as this is, it isn't news. Nor does it tell us a single thing that *everyone *didn't already know about Trump, the audience to whom he addressed his bile, and the 40+ percent of the electorate who will vote for him again no matter what he does.
