Arctic Lessons By : Sam Vaknin
Land claims in the Arctic were the first concrete step in the process of decolonizing the North by devolving decision-making authority from what many northerners have long perceived to be far away, colonial centers of administration and decision-making to local communities
UN Security Council Reform: Veto Right for Mexico By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Highly literate, and with a bicameral democratic political system, Mexico has eclipsed many other Latin American countries as regards the implementation of, and the devotion to, modern societies' democratic rules. We thus conclude that, suitably representing the entire Hispanophone world, Mexico has every right to UN Security Council permanent membership; if accepted along with Japan, India, Germany, Italy and Brazil, Mexico would raise the number of the Security Council permanent members to 11.
UN Security Council Reform: Veto Right for Brazil By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
With commitment to democratic ideals far better stressed than in Putin’s Russia, Brazil has every right and every reason to demand permanent membership in the UN Security Council, where it would represent the Lusophone world, a cultural – linguistic community definitely larger than the entire Francophonie, Japan, the Germanophone world or Italy.
Socialist Presidential Candidates at America's Crossroads By : Stewart A. Alexander
The socialist candidates lack the financial resources of the Democrats and Republicans and are not receiving the free publicity from America's corporate media; however these candidates share a single belief that America's working class is at a critical junction in American politics that will determine our rights, privileges and freedoms for the next 300 years.
Alexander: US Government Should Protect Homeowners By : Stewart A. Alexander
US foreclosures have reached near epidemic levels and have touched every corner of the nation.

Hit the hardest are cities like Detroit, Cleveland and Las Vegas with many of the sub-prime mortgages being delinquent or are in foreclosure.

All the president's women — and men By : Staff Writer
With the myopia of hindsight, it might be imagined that Bill Clinton was the first American president who could not keep his zip up. But Bill was only treading a well-trodden path. The first U.S president, George Washington, set a dizzying standard that few presidents have come close to equaling with the 'Washerwoman Kate Affair.'
A Patriot's Response to Mr. Moore's Pledge By : Szandor Blestman
Michael Moore came out with an article entitled "“A Liberal’s Pledge to Disheartened Conservatives." This is my response to his pledge.

Bring 'em On! -- The Bush Administration's Top 40 Lies about War and Terrorism By : Steve Perry
The Strategy Behind the Bush Lies and What & Why the Media Didn't Tell You - about War and Terrorism
What Demon Chases the US with such Perseverance and such Passion? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
A small democratic country that seceded from an intolerant monarchy that turned Ireland to an Island of Blood; a pioneering, frontier country for the bold and the lawful; a country that abolished slavery after a Civil War; a greatly expanded country that was the Lighthouse for the Oppressed people of three continents; a country – pillar of Free World against Nazism and Communism; a confused country that is inclined to implosion and self destruction at the peak of its strength?
The New Hampshire Debate - Recap of a Fear Mongering Feast By : James Opiko
They threatened nuking Iran with tactical nuclear weapons, kicking out all immigrants. John McCain even insinuated that Bill Clinton started the Kosovo war, comparing it to erroneously Bush's "illegal" Iraq war. This Republican group offered nothing substantive in terms of policy, other than fear-mongering and the usual empty and predatory rhetoric.
Bush using Darfur, Aids to salvage failed Presidency By : James Opiko
Now, that his legacy seems headed to the dustbin, and amidst intense pleading by the International community -- Bush suddenly cares? Do I think Bush is a bigot. No. I think he is part of a predatory, lying, devious and hypocritical system, an elitist system of government that doesn't really care about the poor, and whenever they seem to do, it is always with debilitating strings attached.
Candidate Alexander: Iraq War, Many Diversions By : Stewart A. Alexander
While America was being distracted by the tears and fears of Ms Paris Hilton, brave American soldiers were dying in Iraq. Americans need to understand that the Iraq Civil War will not be won with bombs, guns and tanks; to bring peace to the region will require international diplomacy.
The World Bank must be returned to the world By : Adil Najam
Mr Paul Wolfowitz, the outgoing World Bank president, has been forced to resign in disgrace. Wolfowitz should never have been appointed to the job. His tenure as World Bank president has been disastrous.

Candidate Alexander: Labor, War and Education Connects By : Stewart A. Alexander
Anti-war protesters were on the picket line this past weekend at the SSA (Stevedoring Services of America) shipping terminals in Oakland, California to protest the Iraq War and the lack of funding for schools in Oakland. The picketers demanded that the U.S. get out of Iraq and called on other unionists throughout the United States to mobilize in action to stop the war.
Presidential Candidate: Senator Reid was Right, War is Lost By : Stewart A. Alexander
While Bush, the Democrats and Republicans are searching for a military solution, the war continues to threaten the stability and peace in the Middle East and the entire world. Funding the Bush war with $100 billion is only adding fuel to a fire that is completely out of control. The additional funding will only result in the deaths of more U.S. soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, and will increase the threat to the security of Americans worldwide.
'Mission Accomplished:' Four Years Later By : Robert Fantina
What the 'mission' was had never been clearly defined: if it was to protect America from Iraq's threat of weapons of mass destruction, then there never was any mission; Iraq had no such weapons. If the 'mission' was to prevent Iraq from obtaining nuclear weapons, again there was no mission: Iraq had no such active designs.
Ex-C.I.A. Chief, in Book, Assails Cheney on Iraq By : Scott Shane
"There was never a serious debate that I know of within the administration about the imminence of the Iraqi threat," Mr. Tenet writes in a devastating judgment that is likely to be debated for many years. Nor, he adds, "was there ever a significant discussion" about the possibility of containing Iraq without an invasion.
Stewart Alexander Enters Race for President By : Stewart A. Alexander

The Abortion Wars and Campaign 2008 By : Eleanor Clift
Politicians of either party seeking the center on an issue with such moral ramifications should be able to agree on ways to reduce abortions without criminalizing a medical procedure—and putting doctors, and potentially, women, in jail.
Cheney Sticks to His Delusions By : Dan Froomkin
Faced with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, even President Bush has backed off his earlier inflammatory assertions about links between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. But Vice President Cheney yesterday, in an interview with right-wing talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, continued to stick to his delusional guns.
The unbearable stupidity of Al Gore By : Craig Read
There are many descriptions which aptly fit Al Gore the 35 year political veteran. Appellations such as dumb, deceitful, ignorant, demagogic, hypocrite, or mad would be appropriate. Gore has raised money illegally, lied incessantly on various topics, paid his own firm to trade ‘credit-emissions’ to offset his ‘carbon footprint' and uttered phrases so mind-numbingly dumb that even G.W. Bush’s inconsistent grasp of English and logic looks Churchillian by comparison.
Immigrants Are Lost In American Politics By : Stewart A. Alexander
The issues with Mexican Americans are very similar to African Americans; for over 250 years African Americans were exploited as slave labor to help build a world economic power, when there was no further need for their labor, they were in the way and unwanted. African Americans were not welcomed in many American communities and today are not completely accepted in many areas of America.
The Moment for This Messenger? By : Eugene Robinson
So far, it's this sense of mission that has defined Obama's campaign rather than his specific agenda for the country. Obama invites people to believe in him, and in the power of "both-and." He is both an African American and the biracial son of a black Kenyan father and a white American mother; both a product of the streets of Chicago, where he worked as a community organizer, and a son of the streets of Jakarta, where he played as a kid. Obama is the personification of "both-and."
Iraq: Politicians Talk while Soldiers Die By : Robert Fantina
While President Bush gleefully and optimistically sends over 20,000 Americans to the hellish quagmire he has created in Iraq, Congress ineffectually argues the merits of one of several 'non-binding' resolutions opposing this 'surge.' In the meantime, American and Iraqi soldiers and Iraqi civilians are dying, and the frustration of the citizens of America and other nations grows as they watch the unfolding of this tragedy of errors.
Arab money in the US and a vibrant 5th column By : Craig Read
Back in the 1930s various socialist and Marxist groups decided that orthodox-Western civilization could only be destroyed from within. Gramsci, the Frankfurt school, Derrida and the post-modernists along with others observed that a flanking movement which took over the media, the political elite and the university system, was the only feasible plan to achieve Marxist domination of the Western nation state.
Hate-America Campaign On The Rise: "Victims" Of Perceived "American Empire" May Leave By : Edwin A. Sumcad
There is no such thing as "illegal war" if that's what you think of the war in Iraq. If you love America and at the same time attack America for engaging in an "illegal war" that you imagined, something is terribly wrong.
Obama isn't white, black enough for racialist US By : Sylvia Wairimu Kang’ara
Barack Obama's critics are at least right when they describe his journey as a departure from the customary stereotype. But they get it fundamentally wrong when they argue that the journey described in his 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father, is incompatible with blackness.
Black Like Me? By : Marjorie Valbrun
Those Asking if Barack Obama Is 'Black Enough' Are Asking the Wrong Question. What does it mean to be black, and who is the arbiter of authentic blackness? As Sen. Barack Obama's "blackness" has increasingly been discussed on black-oriented radio shows, at political conferences and on Sunday morning news shows, I've grown more dismayed by the day.
Dirty tricks ghosts haunt Obama's bid for top job By : Joe Conason
As the 2008 presidential campaign began last week, there was something inauspicious and even spooky in the political atmosphere, with strange echoes of ugly deeds committed more than 35 years ago.
Iraq New Plan And Forecast of Doom: For Our Survival Don't Enter The Spin Zone By : Edwin A. Sumcad
To survive this war on terror, we shouldn't enter the Media spin zone and leave our fate to the sport of the wind. The New York Times capped it up: "There is nothing ahead but even greater disaster." [Editorial, January 11, 2007.] It implies that with Bush's new Iraq strategy, our chance for victory is not just nil but zero, and our war effort in Iraq is doomed to failure. Those doomsayers do not want to give the new attempt to solve the problem in Iraq a chance to workout and succeed.
Reactions To Bush's New Military Strategy: Lacking Coherence Opposition Ensures Our Defeat In Iraq By : Edwin A. Sumcad
There is no such thing as a "cheap war." How wrong Democrats could get when they tell the American public that we should leave Iraq alone because it is too costly to stay there and fight our cause until we won the war, surprises me as it does many other incredulous Americans!
Bush's Worst Lies of 2006 -- A look back at some of the biggest falsehoods of 2006. By : Eleanor Clift
In the spirit of holding our political leaders accountable, this year-end review will tabulate the worst lies told by Bush and company, along with several stories that were underreported in the media. Much of what was generated got lost in the fog of war, but the long arm of history will retrieve these moments.

Religion will play important role in forthcoming US polls By : John Mulaa

Iraq - Paging Thomas Jefferson
George Bush - He's The Worst US President Ever By : Eric Foner
Historians are loath to predict the future. It is impossible to say with certainty how Bush will be ranked in, say, 2050. But somehow, in his first six years in office he has managed to combine the lapses of leadership, misguided policies and abuse of power of his failed predecessors. I think there is no alternative but to rank him as the worst president in U.S. history.

Democrat's surge in House will impede Bush.
Scare Mongering Juggernaut Sacked! Now What? By : James Opiko
A strong Democratic onslaught has left the "Quarterback" limping badly, and his "Receivers" are scattered all over the political playing field -- running in all directions like chickens without wings. Throw in Pastor Ted Haggard's Methamphetamine laced gay sex scandal, and not even a staged "Saddam Finale" could rescue the masters of "deceit and hypocrisy," -- the self ordained "Friends of God."
Internet and Cable TV Shake Up Democracy By : Richard Stoyeck
Congressional Elections shaken up by the Internet.
This is not your dad's Republican Party anymore By : Richard Stoyeck
Country poised for big changes in Congressional Elections
Obama is coming, clear the way! By : James Opiko
The six year cesspool of a mess presided over by the Bush administration might not be in vain after all. It has made America hungry for a message and a messenger of hope. Barack Obama's apparent good human qualities added to the fact that he is a great American story, makes the Senator a very attractive prospect for the ultimate prize in politics -- The Presidency of The United States in 200
Nixon the narc By : Dana Larsen
Recently released White House audio tapes from the Nixon era reveal that the architect of America's modern drug war was tremendously anti-semitic, homophobic, and purposefully ignorant of the actual effects of cannabis use. He was also devious, cunning, a skilled speaker and a talented politician. Creating America's modern war on drugs was Nixon's greatest accomplishment and his most lasting legacy.

Decision 2006 - Is the Republican 'Cut, Run and Scare' strategy running on fumes? By : James Opiko
With the on-going "Sex & Pedophilia" scandal involving now resigned Republican Congressman, Mark Foley (R - FL), this destructive Republican administration has switched gears mid-stream -- from a wanton catastrophe to a circus of "Catastrophilia."
America's conduct of war on terror has gone awry By : Prof. Makau Mutua
No one can deny that the danger of terrorism is real, as Kenyans have known since the 1998 bombing of the American Embassy in Nairobi. But it is unalterably wrong-headed to construct a country’s foreign policy on the threat of terror. That is precisely what President Bush and the Republican Party have done since 2001. To hear Mr Bush and his aides tell it, you'd think that there are no other problems in the world.
American Sleeping Giant Awakes - But is too Heavy to walk on Islamic Jihadist Eggshells By : Michael Bresciani
Shortly after the attack of the World Trade Towers on September 11, 2001 President George Bush said that whoever was responsible for the attack had awakened a sleeping giant. Did the giant hit the snooze button and go back to sleep?
Macaca and Terror Politics - America is headed the wrong way! By : James Opiko
Ned Lamont's Connecticut victory is a victory for "level headed" America. George Allen's Xenophobic slam is a demonstration of the extremist and desperate direction that some section of this country is so hell bent on steering this country to...a one hundred year backtrack.
Toying With Terror Alerts? By : Joshua Micah Marshall
In these perilous days, we must be ready to think the unthinkable. No, I don't mean the possibility of a catastrophic terrorist attack. After 9/11, that's all too easy to imagine. No, I'm talking about a thought that even now seldom forces its way into respectable conversation: the quite reasonable suspicion that the Bush Administration orchestrates its terror alerts and arrests to goose the GOP's poll numbers.
If Al Gore were president - We’d have much less suffering today By : Steve Hammer
How would life be different if Gore were president? Despite his many positive qualities, the best thing about President Gore would be that it would mean no President Bush. Having been elected on a pledge of “restoring honor” to the White House after the Clinton sex scandal, Bush has been dishonoring his office since the day Daddy’s friends gave him the job.
