SENATE BILL: Dept. of Ext. Aff.: September 2011 Foreign Policy Review (law'd)

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Could we possibly get an eintire review, not just Asia piece?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'd like to offer a following amendment:

Yemen: Full military restrictions.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I know ignore option can make one's life easier, if one really dislike certain poster and/or his posting, but I wish government officials could show little more responsibility and respect to the process by not ignoring each other, at least when it's coming to an official business.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'd like to see full economic restrictions on Belarus

Never work with Belarus. Trust me, I know that.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Restrictions on UAE but not Pakistan?

Criteria seems to be very random here. I'd like SoFE to tell us more about his criteria.

For example, Pakistan as an "important ally" is grossly overrated and it's human rights record is far worse than UAE, which is one of the best Arab countries to live in.  

Pakistan doesn't do their job as "ally in war on terror". A freaking Bin Laden was hiding there for years and I won't believe that at least some elements within Pakistani army/intelligence and, yes, government, didn't know.
