The spate of events in the USA, most importantly the senseless killing of the presiding judge at the circuit court at Atlanta,leads to one overwhelming conclusion:It is time to seriouly think of gun control. Of course, it nay be argued that the murder of Justice Barnes has nothing to do with gun control because the hand gun used in the crime was snatched from a police
George Orwell in his masterpiece called 1984 and his Politics and the English Language identified a new kind of cognitive disorder in the world: the inability of a so called thinking human being to understand the implications of his words. This is only symptomatic of a moral personality marinated in the politics of violence racism and in short sheer street smart thugg
The Middle East is boiling over. The situation in Saudi Arabia is rip0e for a Revolt, and if Syria withdrawd from Lebonon then a civil war between the Druzes, the Chgristians and thye Muslims will become a distinct possibility. Price of oil will sky rocket and a world wide recession is hardly in US interest especially with the talk of Sociasl Security Reform.
In a recent article in the Washinton Post, BushJr was given an appropriate title: President of Fabricated Crises. Whenever the USA wants to flex its muscles in any part of the world a crisis is generated and acting on exaggerated inputs from field operatives a full fledged war is launched. We have seen the is Afghanistan, Iraq and now the President and his Secretary
This version is not realistic at all. Bush will certainly not threaten a nuclear power. He could attack Iraq because Iraq was and is not a nuclear power. In fact because of Bush and his twinb Blair countries are becoming more aggressive in their pursuit of ABC weapons.
The bonhomie displayed by the civilised,urbane, sophisticated and yes, diplomatic Europeans seem to have led the American media to pro offer the unwarranted conclusion that the "bridge " with Europe has been built, and the differences over the war and aggression in Iraq are settled. Norhing could be further than the truth. The fact the Bush was a state guest in the Er
The justification for Capitalism is CHOICE. It presupposes the ability of human beings to make informed choice basesd on self interest. However, corporate domination of the Capilaist world undermnes this .
Realistically, Nepal has very little in terms of material worth, which is probably why they've not offered any assistance. If only we Westerners placed as much value on spiritual worth, then Nepal would be very rich You may be right about material wealth, but land locked Nepal has certain strategic imp
I do not know why bad languaGE AND VIBES INHERE when two of the rtegular users hit out against eac h other. Think there is more to life than name calling anf abuse. Kindly do not do such things. Why shouls one care. USA has procalimed Democracy as its foreign policy credo and thats why.
An impoverished, violent and at time prophetic journalist of the !9th century once wrote:Events in History appesr twice; first time a tragedy and second time a farce. This statement is more true of Nepal than it was on the !8th Brumaire of Napoleon Bonaparte. Three years ago there was a strage coup in Nepal. The entire Royal Family was shot dead and the blame was
I too have acat exactly like the one you have posted . Yes I too like cats, for that matter I love animals and my house doubles as a shelter for animals which include a few cats, a goat, two mongooses and sundry oter furry and not so furry creatures.
You may be more right than ever. The Haliburton fat cats are salivating for contracts.
The January 30 th Electuions in Iraq did not throw any unexpected surprises. As we predicted the Shia political groups under Sistani are poised for a strong showing at the polls. The ignomious defeat of Iyad Allawi again was not unexpected. Most Iraqis regard him as a collaborator and he does not enjoy yhe trust of ordinary Iraqis. This result will mean that the Sun
The shame is how bad some people WANT us to fail in Iraq. It is clear who's "predictions" are just motivated by hate towards Bush I can understand your sentiments. I do not want the USA to fail for the simple reason she has so much to offer to the world in terms of science, technology, ideas, education,
I am in agreement with the tone of your post. I am not a defender of Saddam and his thugs, but my point is the Allawi was very much part of the Saddam sheme for many years until they fell out not on the issue of democratising Iraq but some other power gasme. I am in greement with you that whatever be the chances of his returning to power or not, his personal bravery I accept. But not his political judgement.
Just a matter of record I am not a Leftist and I detest leftism with as much power as I can command. I believe that USA made a mistake in invading Iraq and the continued occupation does not serve US interests. Tha is all.
I am sure that some day you will find the happiness you deserve and I know that you are a wonderful person.
On the 30 th of this month Iraq will go to the polls. The violence unleashed in Iraq has already made the whole excersise suspect. Candidates are afraid of going before the people. The Sunni population is not at all ken about the poll process, and hence the Shias are likely to benefit from the Sunni boycott of the polls. Thus the elections in Iraq will throw up a g
I've been kind of advocating that the only way to restore some modicum of normalcy to Iraq is to just pull the troops out, and let the country just fall into the inevitable civil war. At least, they'll have their country This is hardly a solution. Having invaded Iraq on patently false grounds and haviin
Smoking is a dangerous anti social habit. The Company is within its right to curtail this habit especially if they have to meet the health costs. Even Insurance Companies are reluctant to insure smokers so why shouldl not the employer.
On January 30 2005 the 14 million people of Iraq will go to the polls in order to elect a National Assembly which will draft the Constitution on the basis of which another election will be called. The Iraqi people have rejected these elections on the ground that it will not bring a legitimate government to power. Actually the conduct of the election itself may serve
The sad demise of Jhonny Carson has left many of us struck at the thought that a fixture in ones life has now ended. Many decades back when I was in graduate school I looked forward to his TO Night Show as I walked home across the Campus. The thought of the familiar face waiting at the end of a hard and busy day was not only encouraging but also cheering after a Hard
Just a matter of setting the facts straight: Sirhan Sirhan, the assasin with a double baralled name was not a Muslim. He was a christian.To your litany of alleged crimes one can add the Maths Professor at Berkeley who sent exploding parcels, Lee Harvey Oswald,Dhamer and scores more. It is not right to blame Islam for all the terrible things that take place. Islam is a religion of Peace and Submission and does not advocate violence except in self defen
The answere to all your questions is of course D. Now how about a diffeferent History Test: The people responsible for the Holocaust were 1 Muslims 2 Africans 3 Finns 4 White Christians between the ages 15 to 70. 2 The people responsible for extterminating the First Nations of Americas were1 Muslims 2 Africans 3 Finns 4 White Males between the ages 16 to 65 3 The people responsible for the My Lai Massacre were 1 Chinese 2 Arabs 3 French 4 White
The answer to all these questiioins from your point of view is D. How about another "HISTORY TEST" like yours. 1 The persons responsible for the Holocaust were: 1 Eskimos 2 Lapplanders 3 Spainards 4 White Christians 2 The people responsible for the My Lai Massacre were1 French 2 Russians 3 Egyptians 4 White Americans males between the ages 16 to 55 3 The people responsible for exrterminating the First Nation population of North and South Am
