It seems like the more the United States gets involved around the world, the less international news we have. The news media has cut its foreign coverage to the bare minimum . Foreign news seems to be the last item, if at all, on everyone’s news budgets.<\/p>\n
For that reason, and because the subject is dear to my heart, I have taken the plunge into blogging. If I can add a little bit of international news and opinion to the public consciousness, I will be happy.<\/p>\n
I’ll be focusing on the countries I’ve reported on, like China and Taiwan, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. But I will also report on developments elsewhere in the world, especially from places like Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, if you all start reading this blog, you will have suggestions on stories\/countries to write about.<\/p>\n
I can only hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
