I was headed over there but as it so often happens, got distracted on other topics and didn't follow up.
It's interesting, we're hearing a lot of "voices" from outside of the U.S. (as well as internally) expressing extreme disappointment with Obama's "soft" approach to conflicts.. whether regarding Syria, to Iran, to the Crimea, Nigeria and on and on. we drone where we can get away with it, Pakistan, Yemen, Somali and elsewhere no doubt, which is absolutely unacceptable to many of us.
On the other hand Obama has so far refused to be baited into outright military interventions (vis a vis launching invasion/bombings/storm trooping) a lot of imperialistic talk, but no actual military attacks, which I applaud, but so many are salivating for him to do, here in the states and abroad.
What I think I'm reading and hearing, is a sort of bemoaning that the U.S. isn't behaving in it's traditional "exceptionalist" manner, and shame on us. it's been years since I've followed the Foreign Relations Council war hawks spouting off their policies and recommendations on anything. But as it happens, on the eve of the Crimea referendum, the sitting members of the panel on Leon Panetta's institute's conference were all practically sobbing, cued with Panetta's opening remarks "We Lost Crimea".
Hopefully I can be forgiven for any momentary lapse of open minded thought with regard to opinions which seem straight out of the mouths of William Kristol and his ilk.
Having said all that.. I DO really appreciate being made aware of an array of thought especially from out side the country.. it's important for many reasons, in seeking to further and broaden my understanding of divergence of world views.. And this is a website, I've never seen before, it appears that Noam Chomsky is featured in the archives.. so I look forward to exploring that place more.. 
oh yeah, regarding the "Blue Republican" logo, it does look like an ad on second view.. there's "Ending Left vs Right" meme attached. Interesting.
