It seems that the answer to "why" is they want to keep the dollar strong vs. the Yuan. But why the facade? Why go through Belgium?

Unfortunately, Al Jazeera represents the free press (the type of press that Madison envisaged) whereas the tame US main stream media report only what they are told they can report - unofficially of course.
We are in an era of 'Die Führerprinzip' - as Wikipedia succinctly put it: "This principle can be most succinctly understood to mean that "the Führer's word is above all written law" and that governmental policies, decisions, and offices ought to work toward the realization of this end." Does this sound familiar? It explains the IRS and EPA for example.

/photo/1 Last night at 10:30 pm CD in Ferguson, Missouri, an Al Jazeera America news crew was reporting behind police barricades. They were easily identifiable as a working television crew. As they were setting up their camera for a live report, tear gas canisters landed in their proximity and police fired rubber bullets in their direction. POlice continued to shoot after crew members clearly and repeatedly shouted "Press." Al Jazeera America is stunned by this egregious assault on freedom of the press that was clearly intended to have a chilling effect on our ability to cover this important story. Thankfully, all three crew members are physically fine. We believe that this situation must be investigated along with those involving our colleagues at other media outlets. This is getting too ugly......period.

You have to hand it to Hamas. They may have lost the armed battle but they are winning the PR battle hands down, thanks to the cowardly press not reporting what is actually happening in Gaza. Iran is really managing the PR war extremely well. I have no axe to grind either way, I have worked and trained with Palestinians, Jordanis, Lebanese, Saudis, Iraqis, Iranians, Egyptians and Israelis etc., I have a reasonable grasp of the background to what is going on. But it is disappointing to see innocents used by Iran's proxies Hamas and so many lives screwed up by the irrational approach of Iran and willingness to act on their behalf by some useful idiot Palestinians. It makes the "Northern Ireland problem" look simple in comparison.

I talked to 2 survivors of this: whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/ussliberty.htmlBeing a Navy Vet, and involved with sensitive areas, the USS Liberty is the only ship attacked in such a way and no response was presented. That aside, Israel started the 67 war because they wanted more land. The terrorists acts in Israel started with the Ingun, etc. This area had been pretty peaceful for centuries. Jew, Christian, Muslim living side by side. No longer is this happening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=etXAm-OylQQ
