How do you prove that you're not what you're not? Someone accuses you of being a liar. How do you prove that’s not true? You are accused of being a hypocrite based on once having done something you said you opposed. The problem with labels is that they are based on history, past deeds, something done. That doesn't mean there aren't pathological liars or congenital hypocrites. However, can you fathom why someone would ask for proof that they're not what they say they're not? That, however [Read more]

It is that the Chinese option is not open to them. China's long boom has been dependent on its growing integration into the global economy. But so long as Iran maintains its nuclear ambitions, it will always be subject to sanctions from the most developed economies, principally that of th [Read more]
