In the blog supported by The Independent a correspondent asks a very interesting question and at the same time points out something very interesting about international politics that actually treads on the belief system at the moment about whether or not our democracies are actually fighting for democracy. In fact they aren't. Latin America is the best continent to get an actual history on the amount of coups backed by the United States in order to place people in power that would make the United States not only financial backers of third world countries; if those countries were one day to decide to cut those strings attached, as placed on Great Britain in 1945 when they asked for financial aid from the U.S. Of course cutting those strings would give ample reason for the United States to attack or sanction a specific government. So basically when the so called "developed" nations decide to fight for democracy in fact the strings attached are that they want those nations thereafter to be major clients in what is now called Globalization or even a better word for Financial Colonization.

I like what you're trying to do with your blog - commenting on big news events, giving an alternative view. You clearly know how to link and how to work with the Blogger platform. I like the fact that you've added links to newspapers - could you add more links to alternative sources of news online? You need to add visuals and also to break up the long paragraphs and use line spacing to make it easier to read on screen.
However, the big thing you need to do is work on your writing - for example the title of the blog, Politics and Moral - doesn't make sense - do you mean Morality? Moral is an adjective, not a noun. In general, write shorter sentences, think carefully about what you're trying to say and then re-read what you've written before you post. At the moment, your writing is obscuring the points you want to get across.
I like the Indy blog post you link to, but think about how to summarise this more effectively - also look at the way it uses links. You've borrowed a link from that post and inserted in kind of randomly in what your post - links should really relate to what you're trying to say to work well.
Overall, when it comes to the assessment blog, think about using the Blogger platform to create an online publication that uses all the potential of the net - so think about adding links, about adding alternative news feeds, about drawing comment etc.
