Yemen has officially been freed from the evil Saleh

Yemen swore in its new president today, cementing a power transfer deal reached in November to end months of protests and violence over outgoing leader Ali Abdullah Saleh's longtime rule. Abdurabu Mansur Hadi, who served as Saleh's vice president and became acting president in November in an agreement brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council, was sworn in today in front of Yemen's parliament. This is another important step forward in the democratic transition process, but it isn't really doing anything to help the oppressed in China or North Korea. And speaking of China, their growing influence in Nepal could mean that the mountainous republic sandwiched between China and India, which for decades has been a safe haven for Tibetans who escape China, could force a crackdown on the Tibetan minority. Traditionally, India has had the biggest influence in Nepal. But China's influence is growing, and as China becomes a bigger factor in Nepal, refugees from neighbouring Tibet say they are being squeezed. This could be bad news for the Tibetan people, and something needs to be done, even if it means war. And speaking of This Means War, I have three words to say about it: Best. Movie. Ever.
