First I think much of your programming means well and to be informative for the most part. However, I see you slipping slowly into a quasi- MSNBC/CNN low. You have to rate the interview for what it is. The WSJ could give you this story as well as the Washington Times. Amy is a good decent left winger why not say. The liberal left wing Amy? This seems to be the issue on the Alyona Bologna show. She trys to peddle comedy without the opposit point of view. If you only have one view your views are no different. This is why we tune into RT for he other view, with transparency and full disclosure. Why not try some right wing radio not the hacks who sell books and have tv shows.. Would you like an interlectual think tank talk show host? WHy not set up the match Alyona and Jeff Kuhner. Give her something to think about You can listen to his show at www.washingtontimes.com After all this is free speech correct?

The "disappointment" of the American people is irrelevant to the power elite of America. Is it really a surprise to anyone that America bailed out banks and not the people? Such a travesty is the very essence of American capitalism. American politicians serve big business interests of the country and do not serve the people. The American people have bought into the Big American Lie that their government is built on a foundation of "by the people and for the people" - nothing could be further from the truth. America's power elite, and their lackey politicians, use the American people as toilers and cannon fodder. For almost ten years, the American people have been offering up their savings, blood and lives to feed the wars of occupation in Afghanistan and Iraq. These wars are of no value to the American people. So, the three vital questions are: (1). Why are these wars of occupation continued by America?; (2) Who benefits from these wars of occupation?; and, (3) Who suffers from these wars of occupation? The answers to these three questions are quite evident: (1). The wars of occupation in Afghanistan and Iraq are being fought to impress the world with American power. Losing these wars would be bad for American image. Thus, millions of human beings will die to protect the image of America "The Powerful". (2). Big business which makes hundreds billions in profits from these wars of occupation. (3). The losers are the American people; and, the Muslims whose dead and maimed bodies litter the landscape of Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. The final question is: why do the American people supports these wars of occupation? Answer: Because they are brainwashed fools - that's why. The American people will stuff their loved ones into the ovens of Afghanistan and Iraq as long as the powerful elite demands it. Such is the power of propaganda and mind control in America.

Two or three quick points: 1. Afghanistan's current problems are somewhat rooted in the recent 30-40 years. THe USSR invaded in 1979. The US backed the Taliban, an anti-Soviet group. So in-part, it was a product of the Cold War. Afghanistan needs to chart its own course, with its own way of doing things. 2. The US and other nations invaded Iraq to liberate Kuwait, and (yes ) to protect their oil supplies. Like it or not, energy and money talk. 3. President Obama is the same old politics, whatever is the most convenient and will earn him a place in history. He's just a liberal elitist, with his circle of liberal friends. 4. Last, a balanced media in the United States: don't count on it soon. ONLY STATIONS LIKE RT OFFER ALTERNATIVE NEWS AND POINTS OF VIEW. THANK YOU RT!
