Each of the 34,000 NATO terrorists soldiers in Afghanistan costs an average of US $5,000 a month to maintain, while the average Afghan munafiq soldier takes home $60 a month, despite the billions of dollars being thrown at the country. And after five years, the Taliban are as strong as ever.

Bush Seeks Division In L. America Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Saturday that he saw American President George W. Bush's upcoming tour to Latin America as a diplomatic offensive aimed at dividing the anti-imperialist region. Chavez said that Bush's planned trip was "without a doubt" aimed at dividing the region and containing Venezuela's influence. Chavez told a news conference: "But it's too late. I think the US President now has nothing to find in Latin America. It is an offensive destined to the abyss of failure." Chavez said he respected the decision by other Latin American nations to "receive this little gentleman," but in Venezuela, "We will never receive him. Never. Because we know what he is. This is nothing personal." Chavez has become one of Washington's fiercest critics and blasts American-style capitalism for poverty and inequality in the region.
Why Carter is under attack? "...a careful, in-depth reading of this book should be mandatory for every political science student in the U.S., Canada, and even the European Community."
CIA Recruited Japanese War Criminals CIA records released by the US National Archives document more fully than ever how suspected Japanese war criminals were recruited by US intelligence in the early days of the Cold War. AP reported: The documents also show how ineffective the effort was in the CIA's view. Historians say: The records, declassified in 2005 and 2006 under an act of Congress in tandem with Nazi war crime-related files, fill in many of the blanks in the previously spotty documentation of the occupation authority's intelligence arm and its involvement with Japanese ultra-nationalists and war criminals. Conspicuous figures in US-funded operations included mob boss and war profiteer Yoshio Kodama, and Takushiro Hattori, former private secretary to Hideki Tojo, the wartime prime minister hanged as a war criminal in 1948.

Climate Change, Peak Oil And Nuclear War The Bush Admin appears to want to play double or nothing with war in Iran to try again at enforcing their neocon vision for the Middle East. Valuable time is wasting as we drift along down to energy shortage and, at the same time, increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
Anti-Semite- Moi? What was that
thing you said, Abe Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League?
You know, that really dramatic thing you said in the speech you
recently made in Palm Beach, where you blamed the internet for the
recent rise in ‘anti-Semitism’ around the world, and how you couldn’t
remember ever being so ‘seriously concerned about the safety and
security’ of your grandson because of it? Well, what do you know,
Abe…miracles do exist. There is actually something upon which you and
I can agree. You see, I too have never been so afraid for the future
of my progeny, and the source of my worry also stems from the recent
rise in anti-Semitism. No, Abe, I am not Jewish, thank God, for if I
were then chances are better than not that I would find myself in the
clutches of evil, conspiring men (such as you) who are always drumming
up new ways of enriching and empowering themselves by getting their
own people into trouble.
"All Candidates are pro-Israel" Who are we
going to vote for on the Republican side? You have Brownback, Gilmore,
Gingrich, Giuliani, Hagel, etc. On the Democratic side, you have Biden,
Clinton, Dodd, Obama, Edwards, Gravel and the list goes on. What is
the common link to all these candidates? All the hopefuls for the
office of the president have put the interest of Israel ahead of the
best interest and security of the United States. Why?
Arms makers see opportunity in Gulf tension Rising concern over Iran expected to boost already strong sales of military equipment Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co., the two biggest U.S. defence contractors, as well as BAE, Europe's biggest, and Raytheon, the world's largest missile maker, are among 900 defence exhibitors at the International Defence Exhibition, the largest military fair in the Arab world, being held this week in Abu Dhabi.
Islamophobia Allows Civil-Rights Abuses“Islamophobia is the way in which the Muslim community is constructed as an enemy, a civilizational other,”...“As a whole, Muslims occupy the opposite of everything that is good in the West”...“It creates an idea where everything in the West is completely egalitarian, completely democratic; everything is completely perfect, and on the other side, everything is completely barbaric, completely oppressive.”
Israel occupation likened to Apartheid: report The UN's Special Rapporteur for Human Rights, Professor John Dugard has compared Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories to elements of Apartheid. In a new report, he points to what he describes as the 'unashamed discrimination' against Palestinians in favour of Israeli settlers. Mr Dugard also says that Israel is imposing a policy of 'controlled strangulation' that is helping to give rise to a failed state on its doorstep. Mr Dugard is a South African professor of international law assigned to monitor Israeli human rights abuses.
Jewish Opposition to Israeli Human Rights Crimes is Growing Criticizing Israel is Not an Act of Bigotry To justify Israel's continued occupation and theft of Palestinian land, the state and its defenders attempt to deny Palestinian suffering, arguing instead that Palestinian resentment is rooted not in Israeli violence, but rather in Islam, or the "Arab mentality," or a mystical anti-Semitism inherent in Arab or Muslim culture. Consequently, pro-Israel advocacy depends upon on the active dissemination of Islamophobia. Not surprisingly, engendering hatred in this manner inflames anti-Jewish sentiment among Arabs and Muslims. None of this is a recipe for making Jews safe.
If Bush is a War Criminal, Then What About the Troops? Reasonable people contemplating service in the U.S. military should know that people throughout the world regard participation in the occupation as tantamount to aiding and abetting in mass murder, fraud, human rights violations, and international war crimes. By now, all of the troops should recognize this, and ignorance is no excuse.
Iran's nuclear
work never to be abandoned, says Iranian president
Iran has no reverse gear
in its nuclear programme, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on
Sunday, while a deputy foreign minister vowed Tehran was prepared for
any eventuality, "even for war". "Iran has obtained the technology to
produce nuclear fuel and Iran's move is like a train ... which has no
brake and no reverse gear," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by a
local news agency reported. Tehran says it wants a deal but rules out
the West's key demand that it suspend the atomic work.
Iran
Successfully Launches First Rocket Into Space
Iran on Sunday
successfully launched its first rocket into space. Mohsen Bahrami, the
head of Iran's aerospace research centre, said: "The rocket was
carrying material intended for research created by the ministries of
science and defense. Iran's success in launching a space rocket is the
first major step towards putting homemade satellites into space on the
back of Iranian-made rockets. He said: "All the tests leading up to
the launch have been carried out in the country's industrial
facilities in line with international regulations." Bahrami added:
"The manufacture of the rocket and the cargo was achieved by experts
at the Iranian centre of aerospace research and the engineering centre
at the ministry of agricultural planning." Iran has for the past years
been pressing ahead with a nascent space programme, which has already
seen an Iranian Russian-made satellite put into orbit by a Russian
rocket in October 2005. That satellite, called Sina-1, was Iran's
first to be launched into space for research and telecommunications
purposes. Iran is planning the construction and launch of several more
satellites over the next three years.
Arar divisive issue as N. American officials meet
The officials gave little details of what was discussed during
Friday's talks, which critics decried as being too secretive and
possibly harmful to Canada's sovereignty. Ottawa had earlier issued a
press release saying the discussion would not move Canada closer to
becoming another U.S. state. The release offered assurances that
ministers are not making secretive backroom agreements with U.S. and
Mexican ministers that would undermine Canada's independence.
The Second Great Depression Congress is now looking into the shabby lending practices that shoehorned millions of people into homes that they clearly cannot afford. But their efforts will have no affect on the loans that are already in place. $1 trillion in ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) are due to reset in 2007 which guarantees that millions of over-leveraged homeowners will default on their mortgages putting pressure on the banks and sending the economy into a tailspin. We are at the beginning of a major shake-up and there’s going to be a lot more blood on the tracks before things settle down.
U.S. economy leaving record numbers in severe poverty The percentage of poor Americans who are living in severe poverty has reached a 32-year high, millions of working Americans are falling closer to the poverty line and the gulf between the nation's "haves" and "have-nots" continues to widen.
US defiant on cluster bombs The United States said last night that cluster bombs should be preserved as a military option, rejecting a call by 46 nations for a ban. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said: "We take the position that these munitions do have a place and a use in military inventories."

American Christian kafir terrorists occupation military
can’t stay for long in Afghanistan: Hekmatyar
Denouncing the United States as “the mother of problems”, Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar, a former prime minister of Afghanistan, who is currently
leading his group of Mujahideen against the US and NATO and Afghan
forces, has said the US does not have the capacity to stay for long in
Afghanistan. He also predicts America will pull out at the same
time as it withdraws from Iraq. Afghanistan’s turmoil would not end
until US forces left the region, he said. “As long as America remains
in Afghanistan and in the region, war and problems will continue,” he
said in a copy of a videotape obtained by news agencies on Thursday.
“I can say with full assurance and confidence that America does not
have the ability to stay for a long period in Afghanistan...,” he
said. Hekmatyar said America's allies had sent troops to Afghanistan
and Iraq out of fear of Washington. But he said a rift was emerging
among them over whether they should stay on there. “My analysis is
that America (will) pull out from Iraq and Afghanistan simultaneously
and the withdrawal perhaps will happen this year,” he declared.
Hekmatyar advised US and Nato troops to pull out.

Half of Palestinians can’t buy food: UN Nearly half of Palestinians are unable, or risk being unable, to access minimum food supplies, warned the first UN report of its kind since the West slapped an embargo on the Hamas-led government in Palestine. “Almost half of the population remains food insecure or is at risk of becoming food insecure,” said the first joint World Food Programme and Food and Agriculture Organisation report on the Palestinians since 2003. The WFP defines “food insecurity” as the ability of a household to produce or access the minimum food needed for a healthy and active life.

"Another U.S. Military Assault on Media"
U.S. soldiers raided and ransacked the
offices of the Iraq Syndicate of Journalists (ISJ) in central Baghdad
Tuesday this week. Ten armed guards were arrested, and 10 computers
and 15 small electricity generators kept for donation to families of
killed journalists were seized.
This is not the first time U.S. troops have attacked the media in
Iraq, but this time the raid was against the very symbol of it. Many
Iraqis believe the U.S. soldiers did all they could to deliver the
message of their leadership to Iraqi journalists to keep their mouth
shut about anything going wrong with the U.S.-led occupation.

In Bosnian a 16th century Banja Luka mosque to be rebuilt after Christian terrorists Serb forces flattened in 1993 war Bosnian Serb authorities announced plans Friday to rebuild a 16th century Banja Luka mosque six years after the last attempt resulted in anti-Muslim riots. "It's in the interests of the (Bosnian Serb) government and Islamic community to have this object rebuilt as soon as possible so that we can apply to have it put on UNESCO's list," said Bosnian Serb Prime Minister Milorad Dodik. During Bosnia's war in 1993, Serb forces flattened the Ferhadija mosque, which had been on a UNESCO heritage list. Islamic leader Mustafa Ceric said its reconstruction in the administrative centre of Serb-run entity of Republika Srpska would help reconciliation between the country's ethnic communities. "I hope that this is the beginning of our cooperation that will end up in inter-religious, inter-ethnic and inter-cultural cooperation, trust and tolerance," Ceric told journalists after meeting with Dodik. Reconstruction work on the Ferhadija mosque, which is scheduled to start within months, is being financed by the Bosnian Serb government with 340,000 euros (450,000 dollars). The Islamic community's efforts to lay a cornerstone to rebuild the mosque in May 2001 sparked anti-Muslim riots that left one person dead and some 30 injured.

Phoenix Insurgent: Prisons offer free transfers to lock-down
paradises out of state
A new study predicts
what I think we all knew: the US prison population is heading for more
records in the future. In an age where the US consistently ranks down
at the bottom of almost every positive social indicator, it's good to
know we're still number one at something.
The study, reported in USA Today "[t]he number of inmates in U.S.
prisons likely will rise nearly 13% during the next five years,
costing states up to $27.5 billion in new operating and construction
expenses[.]" The increase in population will be equivalent to the
entire federal prison population already incarcerated. It projects a
national prison population (excluding jails, which hold more than a
million more) of over 1.7 million by 2011.
Aside from pointing out that the growth rate of female inmates will
outpace their male counterparts, the study had this to say as well:
•By 2011, Florida's prison system is expected to become the third
state system to surpass 100,000 inmates, joining California and Texas.
California's projected inmate population for 2011 is 188,772; Texas'
is 166,327.
•In Louisiana, which has the nation's highest rate of incarceration
with 835 prisoners per 100,000 residents, the incarceration rate is
projected to reach 859 by 2011.
•Nearly two-thirds of the more than 600,000 people admitted to prison
each year have failed to satisfy terms of probation or parole.
Cover Up: It's Easy to be Innocent When You Control the Evidence
The ex Supreme Court
Justice John Major's appointed by Harper to conduct a public hearing
into the Air India F.U. has discovered that like the Arar Inquiry the
State has marshalled all their forces in a united front called
National Security. The RCMP, CSIS, Foreign Affairs, the whole crew of
bunglers has blacked out what could be incriminating evidence,
refusing the Justice to even preview it in private. And what could
their reason be?
Whither Globalization? Even after more than half century of freedom in India the gulf between rich and poor is ever widening and with all the glitter of globalization hunger, starvation and suicide deaths are increasing amidst agricultural surplus, and sometimes fifty million tones of grain in go downs rots but cannot be sold at subsidized prices for fear of pushing the market prices down. That is the harsh economic reality!
British officials fear US will attack Iran: report Senior British government officials fear that US President George W. Bush will attack Iran before his final term in office ends in a little less than two years time, The Times reported in an early edition of its Friday newspaper. They fear that Bush will seek to “settle the Iranian question through military means,” the daily reported, quoting unidentified senior British government sources. “He (Bush) will not want to leave it unresolved for his successor,” one of the sources told The Times.
BBC reports on US military plans to strike Iran A BBC report on Monday made clear that the Pentagon has completed contingency planning for extensive air strikes on Iran that go “beyond nuclear sites and include most of the country’s military infrastructure”. The article continued: “It is understood that any such attack—if ordered—would target Iranian air bases, naval bases, missile facilities and command-and-control centres.”
The Bush administration insists it is pursuing diplomatic means to force Iran to shut down its enrichment facilities. But as the BBC explained: “Diplomatic sources have told the BBC that as a fallback plan, senior officials at Central Command in Florida have already selected their target sets inside Iran. That list includes Iran’s uranium enrichment plant at Natanz. Facilities at Isfahan, Arak and Bushehr are also on the target list.”
Ahmadinejad vows to defend nuclear program President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed on Friday that Iran would defend its nuclear programme to the bitter end. "The Iranian people is vigilant and will defend all its rights to the end," the president said in a speech reported by the local news agency. "The great Iranian people is resisting the oppressors and will not concede one iota," he said. "If we take a step back, they'll come rushing forwards, but if we stand firm, it is they who will be forced to retreat."
Italian Women Lead Grassroots Campaign Against US Military Base The women singing and chanting at the head of the massive march on February 17 in the picturesque Italian town of Vicenza have been fighting to stop a U.S. military base from being built in their community. Cinzia Bottene, a housewife who has become the public face of the movement, was ecstatic with the turnout for the march, estimated by the police at 80,000 and by the organizers at 200,000. “We’ve never had anything like this before in the history of Vicenza. There were more people marching with us than the total population. The government, both nationally and locally, will no longer be able to ignore us.”
IAEA
sign Safeguards Agreement on CHASHMA-2
Pakistan and
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have signed Safeguards
Agreement on CHASHMA-2 nuclear power plant. The Safeguards Agreement
was signed by Ambassador Shahbaz on behalf of the Government of
Pakistan and Dr Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General IAEA in Vienna,
says a Foreign Office press release issued here Friday. In November
last year, the IAEA Board of Governors had unanimously approved the
Safeguards Agreement between Pakistan and IAEA in respect ofCHASHMA-2
nuclear power plant. Pakistan's two research reactors (PARR-I and
PARR2) and two nuclear power plants (KANUPP and CHASHMA-1) are already
under IAEA safeguards. CHASNUPP-2 is part of Pakistan's 'Energy
Security Plan', that envisages an increase in nuclear power generation
from the current 425 MWe to 8800 MWe by the year 2030 to meet its
growing energy demands.

Ahmed Waqar said," We are committed to this project in our national
interest and for our growing energy needs." He said the government is
also looking at other options including the import of Liquified
Natural Gas (LNG). Ahmed Waqar believed that Pakistan would acquire
gas supply from Iran between 2010 to 2011 under the IPI project. The
Indian Secretary Petroleum and Natural Gas also expressed commitment
of his government to the project, saying "we need energy." Responding

America's Secret Objectives in Setting up Missile Defense Bases in Eastern Europe President George W. Bush's National Security Advisor, Stephen Hadley, has said the purpose of the US anti-ballistic missile defense system being set up in the Czech Republic and Poland is to guard Europe against what he called threats by Iranian and North Korean ballistic missiles. Russia, as well as some of United States' European allies are strongly opposed to America's anti-ballistic missile defense system being installed in the Czech republic and Poland. A Russian general recently warned that Poland and the Czech Republic risk being targeted by Russia if they host US missile defense bases.

Test blast in Nevada desert that recalled image of mushroom cloud scrapped by Pentagon Facing stiff opposition from two Western U.S. states, the Pentagon scrapped plans for a 700-ton non-nuclear test blast that would have produced the first mushroom cloud of dust over the Nevada desert in decades. The Defence Department said Thursday it would find other ways to test the United States' ability to penetrate underground bunkers that produce and store weapons of mass destruction. The cloud may have reached an altitude of 10,000 feet over the site about 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas, an eerie echo of long-ago open-air nuclear testing.
Japan, Russia to Sign Nuclear
Deal The Japanese government and its major electric
power companies have entered the final stage of negotiations with
Russia for consigning the enrichment of uranium for fuel in nuclear
power plants. Citing sources close to the deal, the Yomiuri Shimbun
said: The Japanese and Russian governments intend to reach a basic
agreement at a summit level meeting by summer, and will also negotiate
the signing of a bilateral nonproliferation accord to prevent nuclear
material from getting into third parties' hands, which is essential to
consigning the works. Japan has been cautious about its own enrichment
of uranium, which can be used to make nuclear weapons. It also abides
by three mononuclear principles, not possessing, producing or
introducing any nuclear weapons. Therefore, the enrichment of uranium
has only been undertaken in a few cases inside Japan. Japan is the
third-largest producer of nuclear energy in the world, behind the
United States and France.
North Korea Charges United States with Hostility, Lies Pyongyang said in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon circulated on Thursday evening that an external audit of U.N. funds in North Korea is a hostile maneuver by the United States. North Korean U.N. Ambassador Pak Gil Yon also charged the United States with having "dirty" political motives and fabricating lies by suggesting Pyongyang might have misused funds from the U.N. Development Program for the development of nuclear weapons. Pak said in the letter, which was also sent to the 15 U.N. Security Council members: "The allegations of the United States are sheer fiction aimed at politicizing international aid to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea." Pak said: "We cannot doubt that the motive and purpose of the audit are strictly in line with the hostile maneuvers of the United States against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea."
U.S. Admits Intelligence Failure on N. Korea The United States acknowledges gaps in its knowledge about the covert uranium enrichment program it has long accused Pyongyang of pursuing. Incoming reports said: Chief U.S. negotiator Chris Hill said such a program, which could produce fuel for nuclear weapons, would require "a lot more equipment than we know that they have actually purchased" as well as "some considerable production techniques that we're not sure whether they have mastered." A former U.S. official said the data gaps cited by Hill have existed since 2002 when the Bush administration first disclosed the enrichment program but this may be the first time they have been publicly acknowledged. Under the February 13 nuclear agreement, North Korea agreed to disable its main plutonium-producing nuclear complex in return for 50,000 tons of heavy fuel oil.
US Democrats
Move to Limit Bush's Authority
Four years ago, Congress passed legislation authorizing US George W.
President Bush to go to war in Iraq. Now Senate Democrats want to take
it back. Key lawmakers, backed by party leaders, are drafting
legislation that would effectively revoke the broad authority granted
to the president in the days Saddam was in power, and leave U.S.
troops with a limited mission as they prepare to withdraw. Officials
said Thursday the precise wording of the measure remains unsettled.
One version would restrict American troops in Iraq to training Iraqi
army and police forces, maintaining Iraq's territorial integrity and
otherwise proceeding with the withdrawal of combat forces. Republicans
recently thwarted two Democratic attempts to pass a non-binding
measure through the Senate that was critical of Bush's decision to
deploy an additional 21,500 combat troops. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
has said she expects the next challenge to Bush's war policies to come
in the form of legislation requiring the Pentagon to adhere to strict
training and readiness standards in the case of troops ticketed for
the war zone.
Chavez
Warns about US' Sabotage Plan
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned
Thursday that the American government frustrated by failed
assassination plots against him, was now planning to sabotage
Venezuela's economy. Chavez, speaking on his newly scheduled
prime-time TV talk show, predicted that "one of the fiercest battle
fronts" was coming ahead as Washington readied to destroy Venezuela
economically. He continued: "We've neutralized various attempts, and I
have faith we will continue neutralizing them. But they won't rest."
Chavez said that recent urgings by American President George W. Bush
for his country to reduce its oil dependency on unfriendly nations,
including Venezuela, meant that Venezuela was already on the drawing
table and Washington was laying its plans.

DNA test proves killing youth in fake encounters by worshippers of idols Indian army terrorists soldiers In a significant development today, the forensic tests of the samples of the dead body of a Kashmiri youth has finally proved continuous killing of Kashmiri youth in fake encounters by Indian troops. The DNA test carried out by the forensic lab at Chandigarh of a Kashmiri youth, Abdul Rehman Paddar, have shown positive results matching with the samples taken from his relatives. The results have clearly shown that he was killed in a fake encounter by the members of Special Operations Group in Waskora village of Ganderbal on December 9, last year after describing him as a foreign militant. DNA samples were taken from the five exhumed bodies, last month and the tests of remaining four are underway. The dead bodies were exhumed after forceful protests in various parts of occupied Kashmir.

Rights
groups denounce Canada's transfer of Afghan captives
Two human rights
groups protested Wednesday the transfer of Afghan prisoners captured
by Canadian troops to local authorities, saying they could be
tortured. Amnesty International Canada and the British Columbia Civil
Liberties Association (BCCLA) said in a statement they asked Canada's
federal court to review the practice. They claim a prisoner transfer
agreement between Ottawa and Afghanistan's government signed in
December 2005 does not provide "adequate safeguards to ensure that
detainees will not be tortured by Afghan forces." Further, they say
Canadian officials cannot monitor detainees after they have been
transferred and suggest "there are strong grounds to believe that
Afghan forces are torturing detainees." "The rule of law in
Afghanistan is absent and with the transfer of prisoners to Afghan
authorities, the Canadian Forces become complicit in a process that
can lead to torture," said Shirley Heafey of the BCCLA. Afghanistan's
National Security Directorate and National Police have both accepted
detainees transferred by Canadian forces, Amnesty International noted.
The two rights groups also lamented the Canadian military's refusal to
allow detainees access to legal counsel, saying this contravenes
Canada's constitution.
Russia's Jewish leader calls for end to Soviet-era trade limitation The chief rabbi of Russia's Jewish communities, Berl Lazar, Wednesday called for abolishing the 1974 Jackson-Vanik amendment, a key Cold War law limiting bilateral trade with the United States. Keeping the amendment, which initially intended to pressure Soviet authorities over Jewish emigration restrictions," is an obvious anachronism in these days when Jews enjoy true rights equality," Lazar said as quoted by a Russian news agency. Cancellation of the amendment would be a crucial step for Moscow as it tries to finalise bilateral deals with a number of countries, including the United States, to enter the World Trade Organisation (WTO). WTO rules prevent members from imposing restrictions on other members of the sort Jackson-Vanik dictates. Russia has long sought cancellation of the legislation, which Congress introduced in response to Soviet restrictions on the emigration of Jews in the the 1970s.
Italian President Scrambles for New Government after PM Prodi Quits
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano
embarked on frenzied negotiations for a new government Thursday after
the sudden resignation of Prime Minister Romano Prodi. Prodi resigned
Wednesday after his centre-left coalition lost a Senate vote on
foreign policy, including Italy's military deployment in Afghanistan,
forcing the president to scramble to save the situation in a drama
reminiscent of Italian politics of the 1980s and 1990s, when
governments sometimes changed every few weeks. Prodi's administration
had been forced onto the defensive over the deployment of 2,000 troops
in an international force in Afghanistan and the enlargement of a US
military base in northern Italy. While both policies are most opposed
by far-left parties within the ruling coalition, it was the
conservative opposition, which led calls for Prodi to go. Right wing
senators shouted "resign! resign!" after the result of the vote in the
Senate was announced.
British Withdrawal a Blow for Bush Britain's troop withdrawal plan has given Bush's political foes a way to criticize the administration's new policy in Iraq. U.S. Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid bluntly said Britain had "acknowledged a reality" that Bush "still stubbornly refuses to accept" as he sends thousands more American occupation soldiers into Iraq. Reid said in a statement: "There can be no purely military solution in Iraq." Nancy Pelosi, Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, asked "why are thousands of additional American troops being sent to Iraq at the same time that British troops are planning to leave?" Veteran Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy branded the British announcement a "stunning rejection" of Bush's approach.
Global Warming: It’s All About Energy
But global warming is not an
"environmental" problem in the same sense as these others – it is an
energy problem, first and foremost. Almost 90% of the world’s energy
is supplied through the combustion of fossil fuels, and every time we
burn these fuels to make energy we release carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere; carbon dioxide, in turn, is the principal component of the
"greenhouse gases" (GHGs) that are responsible for warming the planet.
Energy use and climate change are two sides of the same coin.
Consider the situation in the United States. According to the
Department of Energy (DoE), carbon dioxide emissions constitute 84% of
this nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. Of all U.S. carbon dioxide
emissions, most – 98% – are emitted as a result of the combustion of
fossil fuels, which currently provide approximately 86% of America’s
total energy supply. This means that energy use and carbon dioxide
emissions are highly correlated: the more energy we consume, the more
CO2 we release into the atmosphere, and the more we contribute to the
buildup of GHGs.
Bridging The Black-Immigrant Divide In addition to tapping false and insulting stereotypes, that narrative just doesn’t ring true for black folks, who’ve historically worked assembly lines, picked vegetables, washed dishes, cleaned homes and cared for other people’s children. The old conversation also ignores the often invisible but still important role of modern racial bias and ethnic hierarchy in our economy. According to the unspoken rules at many establishments across the country, immigrants can work as busboys but not as waiters, and blacks can work as porters, but not as doormen. And even among immigrants, people of color and whites often enjoy different economic opportunities. More fundamentally, the old conversation obscures the question of what our workforce would look like if all of these jobs offered living wages and decent benefits, or how our economy would look if not only jobs, but opportunities for job training, apprenticeships, childcare and education for the new economy were equally available to all communities.
