Do you really want editors and moderators most of whom are from the US to be selecting/moderating stories about politics outside the US? Have you SEEN US news programs? Do you KNOW the nonsense they tell us here?
Absolutely! And of course, there are those of us in the US who would like to know more than the blurb that we hear in the US news, if it even makes it that far. Even our best news sources often don't have time to cover politics abroad unless they have major international implications.
(For example, I'm a regular listerner to public radio, follow the AP wire etc. but nowhere did I see any mention of Blair sending Berlosconi to the hospital with a busted up knee save on a public radio quiz show. [Wait! Wait!
I just wanted to add that the Slashdot in-depth discussions for non-tech topics will (hopefully) be great, possibly becoming for political discussion what slashdot has already done for Tech discussions (both the good and the bad).
