World news - Nov. 22

MEXICO
Ex-drug czar held

Mexico accused its former drug czar Friday of taking $450,000 from a cartel he was supposed to destroy, going public with a scandal that deals a serious blow to the country's U.S.-backed drug war. Noe Ramirez is the highest-ranking law enforcement official detained yet as part of Mexico's sweeping effort to weed out officials who allegedly shared police information with violent drug smugglers.

CONGO
Refugees attacked

Looting soldiers tried to rape one woman and fatally shot another at a refugee camp, witnesses said Friday, as the United Nations prepared to send more soldiers to help protect civilians in eastern Congo. Some 67,000 people have overrun the village of Kibati, just north of the provincial capital of Goma.

NETHERLANDS
Weed cafes shrink

Amsterdam will close almost a fifth of its marijuana cafes to comply with a national ban on having them near schools, the mayor said Friday. Marijuana is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but can be sold in small amounts in designated cafes without fear of prosecution.

FINLAND
Biggest cruise liner

Finnish shipbuilders say the world's largest cruise liner has been launched into water. Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas will be completed within a year before sailing to Miami. It has 16 passenger decks with 2,700 cabins and can accommodate 6,300 passengers and 3,000 crew. It is 1,200 feet long and has an open-air arena the size of a football field.

RUSSIA
AIDS effort blasted

A top Russian anti-AIDS coordinator on Friday lambasted the government's approach to fighting HIV, saying the number of registered cases is growing 10 percent a year despite increased federal funding. Each day about 130 new cases are registered in Russia, said Vadim Pokrovsky, head of the state-funded Federal AIDS Center.

JAPAN
Leader's spouse ill

Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's plane made an emergency landing at Kansai International Airport in Japan on Friday after her husband fell ill on board, officials said. Arroyo was on her way from Manila to attend the 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Lima, Peru. Arroyo's husband, Jose Miguel ''Mike'' Arroyo, was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment for an illness related to a chronic health problem, a police official said.

PAKISTAN
8 die at funeral

A bomb killed eight mourners at the funeral of a slain Shiite cleric Friday in northwestern Pakistan, triggering rioting and heightening sectarian tension in the volatile region. Police said the attack in the city of Dera Ismail Khan wounded another 28 people and was followed by riots.

Same old defiance of demands of Natural Law (what Mother Nature, God, or Whatever Power decreed to be the reality of the real world), God, democracy, capitalism, the US Constitution, and free, fair, and affordable commerce.
Demanding every corporation, farmer, business, outsourcer sweatshop, and nonprofit, tax-exempt, organization and Church markets the cost in the wholesale and retail price of his or her product and service. Of every workers, consumers, and taxpayers living (including pension and health care). Enabling parents to love, nurse, nurture, discipline, protect, and provide, for every child (job) they conceive and fund schools, infrastructure, national security, government services, and etc.; with money derived from wages or independent business profit.
Causes protests, rioting, poverty, and makes life in The Real World Unaffordable!
