All international eyes were focused on china for two weeks during the Olympics, offering a distraction from troubles at home in some countries. But now that the games are over, bloggers and pundits around the world are returning their attention to the issues in their own back yards. Today on Word of Mouth, we get another roundup of what’s buzzing in the international blogosphere from Deborah Dilley. She’s an editor and writer for Global Voices Online, which keeps tabs on the news bubbling up on blogs around the world.

Stories Discussed in Today's Roundup:

Korea: Korean Mata Hari – North Korean Spy Scandal
Turkey: Bloggers Banning Themselves?
The Arabs and Obama
The Asian American Vote: Is it Swinging Left or Right?
Australia: Palin Counting on Identity Politics
Trinidad & Tobago: Hillary and the Divided Vote
