[GlobalResearch.ca] Iraq; Abraham's “Children of a Lesser God” ?: “The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recently sent a letter to the Russian Assyrian Committee and Moscow Assyrian Ethno-Cultural Autonomy Organization, which guarantees that in Moscow’s contacts ‘with representatives of Iraqi authorities and international partners we delicately try to let them understand the need of ensuring conditions for preserving of original culture of Iraqi Christians, their adequate representation in Governmental structures, achievement of civil peace considering legal interests of all confessions and non-admission of discrimination of ethno-religious minorities’”, states Azzaman.

[Guardian Unlimited Comment] Matt Waldman: We have wasted billions in Afghanistan on aid ...: You can sit in your perched Ivory tower and pretend you are doing something when in reality NGO work are just a scham. Oxfam like other NGOs are just a place to create the feel good that university graduates needs to be able to continue their journey towards killing trees with their perenial publications about nothing.Do us a favour : do not underestimate our intelligence.

[The American Prospect Articles] Britain's Great Right Hope | The American Prospect: In truth, the rot set in before he left, beginning in 1992 when Britain was thrown out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM), a national economic humiliation that scuttled John Major's government almost before it began. Major struggled for another five years -- his only electoral victory was really a reflection of the weakness of his opponent, Labour's wordy, balding Neil Kinnock -- and his administration was notable only for the completeness of its disunity and the regularity of its sex scandals.

[Guardian Unlimited Comment] Simon Jenkins: We have turned Iraq into the most hellish place on ...: A very good article by Mr Jenkins but one thing that is obvious is that America and the UK can hardly leave the oil in limbo,so that a full withdrawal or to leave Iraq to its fate as it did with Vietnam back in 1975 is surely not conceivable either as far as geopolitics is concerned or the world economy.Al Qa'eda operatives and other Islamist resistance movements will feel emboldened by the humiliation of America and the rentier economy of Saudi Arabia is already faced with political instability from those who realise that their oil wealth is being sqandered by a corrupt and oppressive regime and want to challenge it.

[The Washington Note] Don Rumsfeld is Neville Chamberlain; Winston Churchill is John ...: Most relevant of all -- it "knew" that its staunchest critics needed to be marginalized and isolated. In fact, it portrayed the foremost of them as a blood-thirsty war-monger who was, if not truly senile, at best morally or intellectually confused.

[News Blog] The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: News Blog: What was revealed today, with breathtaking cynicism, but sure faith that the media will not honestly hold them to account, was the true motivation for an illegal aggression that has killed several hundred thousand Iraqis so far, is promised by Bush to endure for fifty years and will only end when the invaders have looted trillions in oil wealth from the Iraqis, or they are driven out by the resistance. Crabb's point of view is wholly inadequate to the literally devastating consequences of today's announcement.

[AMERICAN DIGEST] Toying With Genocide @ AMERICAN DIGEST: This is why I still deeply believe that the current effort in Iraq and the Middle East to counter and expunge Islamic terrorism and turn Islam from the road it is on towards one of reformation and assimilation is the best path that can be taken at this time. Indeed, for all the ineptitude of the current administration, for all the expense in treasure and lives, this shoot-the-moon, Hail Mary of a foreign policy in Iraq is not just a policy to make America safer at home.

[SWJ Blog] 9 July SWJ Roundup (SWJ Blog): She responded to a question about how she perceived relations between Iran and Venezuela by saying "Iran has not respected its own democracy." The Secretary of State referred to Iran's crackdown on demonstrators who opposed the results of the June presidential elections, which gave the victory to incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Clinton also said the US is concerned about Iran's effort to develop nuclear weapons, which she says could destabilize the Middle East.

[The Caucus] Live Blog: The Inauguration of Barack Obama - The Caucus Blog ...: Obama declared that it’s time to “begin again the work of remaking America” and “we are ready to lead once more.” He wants to “restore science to its rightful place” and believes that “the nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous.” And he issued a stern warning against actions like the invasion of Iraq, saying that the nation’s power does not “entitle us to do as we please.”

[Homo economicus' Weblog] An atheist Prime Minister? « Homo economicus' Weblog: does not quite capture the sense in which a genuinely secular arrangement keeps religious voices on a par with all other non-governmental voices in the public square, and all the non-governmental players in the public square separate from the government itself. It means that churches and religious movements have to see themselves as civil society organisations like trades unions, political parties, the Scouts, and so on: with every right to exist, and to have their say, but as self-constituted interest groups no more entitled to a bigger share of the public pie of influence, privilege, tax handouts, and legal exemptions than any other self-appointed interest group.

[Hit and Run] Got Yer Cindy Sheehan Right Here - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine: I think Bush should have met with Cindy Sheehan five times. Onceclearly was not enough, as so many on this post seem to suggest,and although Tim Cavanaugh suggests: "if she comes out of Meeting#2 complaining that he wasn't impressive, then the story becomesabout her opinion of the prez, rather than his refusal to meet withher."

[End Times Prophetic, Prophecy, Visions, Dreams, Revelation, Christian Blog] Sarah Palin's Churches and The Third Wave New Apostolic ...: Even if Sarah Palin were to be running for president, as with all presidents, she would only have as much power as congress allowed.With the D group majority we have, and the rampant seething hatred of anything sounding even close to Christian, I doubt seriously she could cause us all to become members of the ICA or NAR.I myself have within the last few months left a church because of the involvement with those groups,but I am not the devil, if anything I have become closer to my Saviour, Jesus, because of it and am awed by His mercy toward me.I also have become a more responsible Christian to “study to show myself approved…”. This is quite a conundrum!!

[blogs.telegraph.co.uk Blog Listings] MPs should pledge allegiance to the Crown - Telegraph Blogs: Now for the conspiracy theory part: I would not put it past Campbell/Blair to think that, should Diana’s comment one day become public following her tragic road crash, then three things would be likely to undermine the Monarchy completely: 1) the public would suspect forever more that perhaps the Royalty were to blame either directly or indirectly for Diana’s death 2) the New Labour spin machine would be able to portray the Royal Family as out of touch and stuffy and fuel the fire for a major public backlash and 3) the same advanced New Labour spin machine could propel Blair into the spotlight in the immediate aftermath with a popularist speech referring to the ‘Peoples’ Princess’
