The Third Wave of Political Islamism 
BEIRUT -- Mainstream Islamist political parties that win elections
throughout the Middle East and Asia are often perceived in Western lands
and Israel as a dire threat. Not all Arabs and Asians are happy with the
victorious Islamists, either. It is important to interpret correctly why
the Islamists are winning, and what they really represent.

Humanity Suffers the Savagery of the American Empire’s Post 9/11
Worldview 
Pink Slips Abound for Prosecutors and Therapists
Karl Rove, the mastermind of Bush II’s ascension to America’s seat of
power, is a man of great distinction. Despite his decidedly porcine
features, Mr. Rove’s Machiavellian lust for power, narcissistic lack of
empathy, sycophantic devotion to the Bush crime family, deceitful nature,
and conniving mind coalesce to leave the Prince looking like a pauper.

9/11: Bush administration renews “preemptive war” strategy
The National Security Strategy document released Thursday by the
White House reaffirms the prerogative of the United States to take
“preemptive” actions to counter possible threats from alleged
enemies.
When it was first unveiled in September 2002, the Bush administration’s
doctrine of “preemptive war” was generally seen as an attempt to justify
the impending invasion of Iraq­a country that posed absolutely no real or
foreseeable, let alone imminent, threat to the United States. The
doctrine was widely condemned outside the United States as advancing a
policy for which there exists no foundation in international law.

9/11: Doctors attack US over Guantanamo 
More than 250 medical experts have signed a letter condemning the US
for force-feeding prisoners on hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The
experts, from seven nations, said physicians at the prison had to respect
inmates' right to refuse treatment. The letter, in the medical journal
The Lancet, said doctors who used restraints and force-feeding should be
punished by their professional bodies.

American Megalomania
 
Our 'national security strategy' is crazed nonsense.What the U.S.
government is saying, here, is that it has abandoned the traditional
behavior of ordinary nation-states throughout history. This is generally
understood to be the preservation and protection its own national
interests, somewhat narrowly defined as the defense of its territory and
such ancillary overseas interests as are directly related to its
continued survival as a nation. But the Americans have now abandoned that
paradigm, and are seemingly intent on adopting the old Soviet model, at
least the one that predominated in the immediate aftermath of the 1917
Bolshevik coup, in which the Communist International was proclaimed from
the rooftops and the leaders of the Russian state routinely referred to
their intention to overthrow world capitalism.

The End Of Civilization
I had a mild epiphany the other day: it’s not President Bush who’s

What Did You See at the War, Jimmy?
We demonized the Iraqi people and we were given carte blanche to

with continued violations of the Geneva Conventions and International

Canada in Afghanistan to please the Americans, says Rick Salutin

So now we have an incident a week in Afghanistan. Two weeks ago, an
axe attack. This week, shooting the innocent passenger in a minicab. Two
locals dead. One, 16; the other, 60. Sandwiched between, the PM's
thumbs-up visit. We are rapidly constructing our own quagmire, built on
the U.S model in Iraq, and miming their rhetoric: Canadians do not cut
and run, said Stephen Harper, just as George Bush said he would not
"send a signal to our enemies -- that . . . America will cut and
run."

The case against the Iraq war and occupation entirely vindicated. It
must be brought to an end  
Tony Blair's announcement that he will henceforward account only to
God for the Iraq war makes perfect sense. Every secular reason he has
concocted for the catastrophe has turned out to be the reverse of the
truth: there were no weapons of mass destruction, we are less safe from
terrorism, the Iraqi people themselves do not want us in their country.
No more of his excuses for this epic man-made disaster stand an earthly
chance of being believed.

The Israel Lobby
For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in
1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its
relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for
Israel and the related effort to spread 'democracy' throughout the region
has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardised not only US
security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no
equal in American political history. Why has the US been willing to set
aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance
the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between
the two countries was based on shared strategic interests or compelling
moral imperatives, but neither explanation can account for the remarkable
level of material and diplomatic support that the US provides.

EXORCISING COLONIAL DEMONS ­ HOW THE U.S. LOST TO THE WESTERN SHOSHONE
AT THE U.N. 
MNN. March 16, 2006. On March 10, 2006, the United Nations Committee
for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination found that the United States
was denying the Western Shoshone people “their rights to own, develop,
control and use their land and resources”. They warned the U.S. to
respect their obligations according to the Convention”. The U. S. was
urged to "freeze", "desist" and "stop"
their actions against the Western Shoshone and abide by the Committee's
“Early Warning and Urgent Action Procedure”. 
The Western Shoshone land base covers approximately 60 million acres,
stretching across the states of Nevada, Idaho, Utah and California. Their
land rights were entrenched in the 1868 Treaty of Ruby Valley. The U.S.
used a procedure similar to that of the Canadian and Ontario governments
when they turned land belonging to the Stoney Point people at Ipperwash
into a park. The U.S. declared the Western Shoshone lands had become
"public" or federal lands in violation of the treaty.
