Failed States: The US and Israel

2007-02-05T21:32:00.000+08:00

By Paul Craig Roberts Iran, a nation with a 5,000 year history, is certainly not a failed state. The main failed states in the Middle East are those that are US puppets. They represent American hegemony, not the interests of their people. 02/05/07 "ICHBlog" -- -- Growing references by the US and Israel to the Muslim Middle East as a collection of failed states are part of the propaganda campaign

JAMES MORGANTEGUEST COLUMNISTAn Aug. 8 Seattle P-I editorial asked, "Where are the facts? Where is the evidence?" about government complicity in the 9/11 attacks.The case for complicity begins with motive and benefit. In his 1997 book "The Grand Chessboard," Zbigniew Brzezinski argues that the key to global dominance in the 21st century lies in control of Central Asian oil and gas reserves.

By Patrick J. Buchanan“The war we fight today is more than a military conflict,” said President Bush to the American Legion. “It is the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st century.”But if the ideology of our enemy is “Islamofascism,” what is the ideology of George W. Bush? According to James Montanye, writing in The Independent Review, it is “democratic fundamentalism.” Montanye borrows

By Robert Parry09/07/06 "Consortiumnews " -- -- As Americans go to the polls in two months, they should have one thought fixed in their minds: they will be voting on whether to commit the nation to fighting World War III against large segments of the world’s one billion Muslims.

Nationalism, not Islam, motivates most suicide terrorists

Suicide terrorism is primarily caused by Islamic fundamentalism. True or false?Although it seems counter-intuitive, especially given everything we read and hear in the mainstream media, the correct answer is "false."In his recent book, ''''DYING TO WIN: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism ,'' University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape has provided an indispensable public service

Well, just transferred to beta blogger, some of you may have had to endure the change, which took 15 seconds. Haha.Well, I received a message from Mr Heng yesterday, and it made me realised that our teachers have had an important role in making us who we are today, for better or for worse.

But nonetheless, it is for the anon who has been saying that he hates my recent posts on the Lebanon crisis, saying that it "discredit the UN and US", and it's "adversive".

The standard media answer to the question of who controls the Internet is ‘no one’, however that is only partly true. Although ownership of Internet assets is distributed widely, one private company does control the fundamental protocol on which the Internet runs – IP (Internet Protocol). The company is ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and is located in Marina del Rey,

Today was a hard-fought battle. Really. Damn tired now. This morning, there was the English Preliminary Examinations 3. I am seldom able to write good narratives, much less descriptive, so when I flipped over the question paper, and saw that there were ONLY 2 questions which allowed me to write expositions and argumentative essay, I was stunned. Not so though. It was a blessing in disguise. Why?

After watching ([|The Fast The Furious=Tokyo Drift|]), I have only one thing to conclude.The Jappos no longer retain their traditions, going into absurd behaviours and doing things without morals. They have entirely lost touch with their famed Bushido, giving it up for illicit activities and giving in to the corruption of their basic values.No. I am not saying that the drifting is not good or

2006-08-20T20:00:00.000+08:00

Fear, as I have mentioned earlier, is one of the most powerful weapons in war, and in politics. Fear if used properly, can be even more powerful than all the missiles in the US and Israel combined. Bush recognises this fact, and therefore, he created the many terrorists that exist today.In fact, the only thing that many of these people are guilty of is what George Orwell, in 1984, called "
