Updating The News

Over the weekend, I wrote about the Ukrainian elections.  It turns out that the Ukrainians selected a TV comedian as their new president by a margin of 3 to 1.  It's an amazing result.

I also wrote about the bombings in Sri Lanka.  As of now, most authorities are blaming the blasts which killed over 300 people on an Islamic terrorist group.  That group, however, has not claimed credit for the bombs.  It still may turn out that Iran is involved in this mess.

This morning, the USA announced that it would not grant further waivers to countries to purchase oil from Iran.  That move should put enormous pressure on Iran.  If the Iranians can't export oil in large quantities, then they won't have the currency needed to buy military supplies.  All I can say about this move is "It's about time."
