You have to give it to Dubya; the guy’s got some front.
It seems that the American people are going to have to be patient, while US and Iraqi forces fight “the enemies of a free Iraq.” The obvious question is: haven’t the American people been patient enough?
Almost daily, reports are emerging [...]
Americans must be patient….
Milosevic and Saddam: lessons we have unlearned
Few people, beyond his wife and gangster son Marko, will rue the passing of Slobodan Milosevic, found dead in his cell in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The former Yugoslav president, and architect of the civil wars that tore the fragile Balkan union apart, was on trial for his alleged crimes against humanity. The [...]
Iraqi Civil War
How many countries can you name that, having being released from an oppressive centrist regime, all work together to form a happy new country with little or no separatist ambition from the regions? I´m struggling – Germany survived WW2 and the downfall of Hitler … let´s make it harder: How many countries that were cobbled together [...]
The Neocon’s break ranks
Power
The polarising effects of the Bush administration have been assessed many times, both by ideologues on the left, and on the right. Pragmatic centrists such as myself, have also considered them, and found that it’s idealism that separates the two camps.

Bush tells Iran US-backed NGO’s are coming
So it seems Bush has abandoned the Bush doctrine, and plumped for good ol’ Clintonite psych-ops in a $75m drive to subvert the Tehran regime, and promote democracy throughout Iran.
As the Theocratic administration in Washington Tehran has its tentacles in all institutions and NGO’s, the US would create new, shiny, dissident networks. Now in [...]
Smack my Iraqi up
What is the News of the World playing at? While no one would offer anything but condemnation for the brutal beatings dealt to the defenceless Iraqi youths, one cannot fathom the mentality of the editorial of the NOTW for publishing these shots.
When the Muslim World is drunk on it’s own self-importance, a British newspaper [...]
The irregular quote of the day
“People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.” – 19th-century Danish Christian philosopher Soren Kierkegaard
Reflections on the Mohammed Cartoons
The current cartoon-induced tempest that is fracturing – already fragile – relations between the West and the Islamic world, has given me much to ponder. My initial outrage was at some sections of the quasi-Christian right, many of whom have hijacked the Church as a surrogate for a supposed British identity, who claimed this [...]
