[Truthout - All Articles] t r u t h o u t | Obama Inspires Hope in India, Pakistan:     The dominant response to the victory of the Democratic candidate with a vital difference deals a heavy blow to India's far right, flatteringly described as "the Hindu right" (as reportedly also to Western Europe's anti-immigrant warriors). It is all badly timed for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the political front of the "parivar" (the far-right "family"), preparing for a series of state-level elections as a run-up to the parliamentary polls early next year.

[Mondoweiss] Egyptian artists, Abbas, many nations, and Gazan children too ...: The groups put aside their differences over Israeli tactics, U.S. pressure, treatment of Gazans, and treatment of the Israeli human rights community to show a united front to the Palestinian leader and get him to answer the questions on their mind. Leaders of more hawkish groups like AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, the Conference of Presidents, Mort Zuckerman, Elliott Abrams, and Dov Zakheim broke bread with the more dovish likes of J Street, Americans for Peace Now, and Hillel.

[The Daily Beast - Cheat Sheet] Reagan Was a Dove - The Daily Beast: So the American multinationals as well as the British oil company and Total (French) who met with Cheney at his secret energy summit before 911 got to divy up the Iraqi oil fields before the invasion. (Rumor is they attended the meeting with maps of the oil fields laid out on the tables).

[Cedric Muhammad] Cedric Muhammad » Blog Archive » Turkey, The New Islamic Core State: If the Turkish electorate and domestic politicians are able to connect their problems with institutions like the IMF and to a departure from the Islamic tradition of country, and make a political platform out of such a critique, before the U.S. and EU offers Western-alternative solutions to Turkish problems that embrace Turkey, there is no amount of money or transferred prestige from the West that could overcome the growing anti-imperialist thesis that is spreading among Turkey’s Islamic and labor political interest groups. If such arguments take firm root in the country and are advanced by politicians and segments of the electorate, who unlike Mr.

[Newsmill - Senaste artiklarna] Amerikansk militärstrateg: Rödgrönt krav skadar Sveriges intressen ...: The red-green statement is also noticeably silent about the 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons Moscow still has stationed within its European territory -- about 10 times the equivalent U.S. arsenal -- despite earlier pledges by Kremlin leaders to reduce or eliminate them. No word about either of these issues from the reds and the greens, no "demand," not even the most polite suggestion that the Kremlin might want to reconsider such actions.

[Spitfire List] Spitfire List | FTR #709 Update on Euro Fascism: Next, the pro­gram updates the re-opening of an inves­ti­ga­tion into the appar­ent mur­der of a young British man, covered-up with the col­lab­o­ra­tion of the Ger­man author­i­ties. Of sig­nif­i­cance here is the fact that Jere­miah Dug­gan had trav­eled to Ger­many to work with the LaRouche orga­ni­za­tion, a fas­cist net­work based in Ger­many that has made sig­nif­i­cant inroads into the so-called pro­gres­sive com­mu­nity in the United States.

[Recent articles from SocialistWorker.org] Is the U.S. losing its grip in Iraq? | SocialistWorker.org: And if they win this struggle, it will mean that Iraqis will be employed from the bottom to the top, that localities will be able to claim a share of the revenues, and the profits might well be reinvested in Iraq.

[World Blog] World Blog - When the Bee Gees were the anthem of Chinese reform:  Although the humiliation and penalties he was subjected to during the cultural revolution pales in comparison to some of his peers, Deng ambitions and goals if he revealed any were very close to not being realised not to mention the dire circumstances his family were in.  Yet, when he returned to power, he quickly brushed off the ill experience and embarked on economic programmes resulting in the astounding results which are seen today.

[National Security Experts] A 'New Dawn' In Iraq, Or More Darkness? - National Security: However, that regime's worst crimes--ranging from genocide at home and wars beyond Iraq's borders--were committed between 1980 (the outbreak of the Iraq-Iran War) and 1994 (roughly, the completion of Saddam's campaign to drain the bulk of Iraq's southern marshes to destroy an ancient Shi'a culture there). Since US intervention, even fairly low estimates concede that at least 125,000 to 150,000 Iraqis have died one way or another in the carnage, probably tens of thousands of others, and an even greater number probably have been seriously wounded or maimed.

[NewsReal Blog] Will Israel Bomb Iran? | NewsReal Blog: In any event, if Israel does act it is going to have to act very decisively this time unlike the last couple of times since Iran’s poodle the Syrians have recently armed Hezbollah with Scuds missiles capable of hitting all areas of Israel, while the Obama administration remained silent and politely turned its head. There isn’t much Iran can do to get back at Israel, but its proxies, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas are capable of causing a lot of damage to Israel.

[HorsesAss.Org] HorsesAss.Org » Blog Archive » Will Dino run as a RINO?: Alluding to FDR’s absurd AAA, Wheeler accused FDR of trying to bugger us into war by the backdoor and of an insidious intent to ‘plow under every fouth American boy.’ Wheeler knew much about FDR’s quasi-dictatorial ambitions because Wheeler led the fight against FDR’s absurd plot to pack the Supreme Court.

[Pajamas Media] Pajamas Media » West's Complacency Will Bring About Its Demise ...: Iran is suspected of cheating, and the five nuclear powers recognised under the pact are under fire for what non-weapons states see as hypocrisy and the slow pace of disarmament. (Israel still maintains policy of ambiguity in relation to its nuclear capability, but Obama’s administration and others are attempting to strip Israel of its strategic advantage and weaken the Jewish state!)

[Colonel6's Blog] Gates: TOO MANY GENERALS AND ADMIRALS « Colonel6's Blog: To illustrate his point that there are too many of these top officers, Gates said that while the overall troop strength of the Army was sliced by nearly 40 percent during the 1990s, the reduction in generals and admirals across the military was about half that. He suggested that this was a top-heavy structure that is making it harder to get proper resources to the war fronts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
