"The Read" International Midday World News Thread For 11/11/08

The is the first time ever for this thread as an official thread .

Tired of the American media not doing a devout job of covering the stories around the world like they should, here are three of the more prominent international sources of news.

From the BBC:

1.UN cuts food rations in Zimbabwe. And all because of a lack of funds. Gut-wrenching to the soul.
2.World Recalls 90th Anniversary of The End of World War I. (Well, specifically, Europe does).
3. Cameroon rebels release hostage

From the CBC:
1. LOL at "the Sarah One".
2. The Zimbawee food ration story from the CBC side.

And from Al Jazeera:

1. Rwanda Expels German Ambassador
2. Suicide Blast Hits Pakistan Stadium.
3. And from yesterday, Hamid Karzai condems US Troops for killings of 14 private security guards.

Finally, "The Read" label is also placed on this tremendous diary post at the Kos from the user "dhonig." Ronald Reagan lovers, meet realism.

Peace!
