Once again, a very well written and moving tribute ends up nothing but a Bush Bash. Are you incapable of writing a complimentary article without turning it into a political statement Believe me that we are all with the American people but as far as Bush is concerned that is a different story. May it it
I have said more or less the same thing im two of my post on Katrina. The fact is that the people who were most badly affected were the poor blacks and it seems that the Federal Governmenrt was slow to react. All the important officials were on holiday and the most powerful blackwoman to serve in high office Condaleeza Rice was buyin gherself a 7,000 $ shoe.So much for the lip service to the poor. New Orleans in 18 feet below sea level and therfore th
At this moment the levees have been repaired and the people who have been marooned are being moved to safety. Finally the neighbourhoods that have been under several feet of water are being drained and accorging to the Governor it could take months to get the City on its feet. The loss to the Jazz heritage preserved in Loisianna State Public Library will be too greaT
too bad you chose to make a pathetic political statement in lieu of that ovation. I am sorry that you should think so. I have said in clear terms that the people of New Orleans are the real heroes and they have have faced the days of uncerainity with courage. I have only critisised President Bush and h
The people of New Orleans desetrve a great ovation: they have shown both grit and courage by picking up the pieces after Hurricane Katrina. The days of isolation and being marooned in buildings cut off from supplies and essential commodities does show on the faces of the survivors, but they deserve a great ovation for helping themselves and their neighbours in their h
There are bittle necks in relief everywhere. We must be patient. The Asian Tsunami Victims are still to get Relief in spiote of promises of help.
Thr hurricane that swept through Louisianna has caused widespread destruction. Apart from the loss of life and the disruption in the routine lives of people the thyphoon has raised certain vital questions? Why did President Bush take five full days of dithering before sending the National Guards? Is it because the Iraq war has stretched the forces so thin thast there
A very good post. I am in complete agreement with most of what you write. I will go furthetr and sat that corporate criminals are white anglosaxon males. Very few white females figure as corporate criminals thought their number is increasing. Now to the meat of the issue: Statistically speaking the non whites are underrepresented in the corporate world.
I have read Rhodes a standard History of the Atomic Bomb and he mentions no such event.
Oddly enough, I don't see you writing long, heartfelt articles about such horror. You like to dwell on the Great Satan and wink at Arabs doing as bad or worse. Go find the totalls for mass killings in the world, the ones where tens of thousands of people were killed, and see how many the US was involved in. It might </T
still i think you may have misread this specific situation. here's the difference between muslim imams who call for the assassination of national leaders and pat robertson's idiotic proclamation There is the danger that by making the whole episode a sort of macabre joke the fact that Robertson advocate
The strongest argument that the Western Media has been making against Bin Laden and his ilk is that they advocate Terrorism in the name of Religion, a religion with which the Christian nations of the World have had at best an uneasy relationship. While Terrorism as a concept has neither been defined nor legislated upon, the USa embarked upon a war against Iraq without

The lone woman, frail and vulnerable who has sacrificed her son in Bush's War in Iraq, camping outside the Presidential Ranch in Texas has caught the attention of the World. To see the most powerful man in the world cowering in fright in his ranch and sending two of his henchmen to meet with the lady is a sight that is just too good to be true. The reason why George B
Admiral William Leahy, a great seaman and the first Admiral to have been the US joint Chiegfs of Staff, said : It is my opinion thast the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender... Similarly General Dwight Eisenhower stated and I quote his
the bomb was dropped out of racism and the fact that the Japanese didn't have a good enough translator to understand "unconditional surrender?" Sorry, but you aren't even trying now. The Japanese knew exactly what unconditional surrender meant, they simply wanted to avoid it as much as possible. To allow them to do </TA
The day the American troops withdraw from Iraq is not too far. The Bushmen are just waiting to hand over power to an Iraqi pupper Regime and declatre victory. The real problem that Iraq faces today is not the violence that the Americsans have unleashed, but a social and economic collapse of the civil society of Iraq. Children who should be in school are having to stay at home, factories are shut, the cities unsafe the hard won economic and political f

The movie Casablanca is a classic and like all classics its appeal is timeless. Though the movie was shot in 1940, obviously before Pearl Harbour, the acting of Ingrid Bergman and Humpher Bogard have great contemporary relevance. Playing the role of a cynical, saloon keeper Bogard as Richard or Rick puts on an air of studied indifference to the important political and
The war was faught on patently false grounds. The use of the Shock and Awe tactics of the Bushmen made the war avirutual war against the civillian popualtion. In fact Bush and Blair should be tried as war criminals.
But don't forget that the bomb was actually, and officially, earmarked for use first against the Germans, not the Japanese. It's just that Germany got lucky because they surrendered first The bomb was tested on July 16 1945 two months after the surrender of Germany. In fact the Manhattan Project was ext
