Fortress Britain"Sensing opportunity as the war on terror grinds on, its neoconservative architects have swooped in from across the Atlantic to establish their presence in Britain. With ties to the arms industry and the neoconservative wing of the Israel lobby, the Henry Jackson Society seems to be assuming the role that the Committee on Present Danger played in the United States. Its Israel-centric worldview, as exhibited by its roster of speakers, predisposes it towards perpetual conflict. The support for a militarized ethnocracy is not the natural inclination of a liberal-democratic Britain; it can only be sustained in a context where Israel can be seen aligned with Britain in an overarching conflict against a common enemy." |

The Lollipop or The Titanic"Obama has raised millions from small donors, but if they believe they control him, they are on board the Lollipop while sailing the Titanic. It is Wall street and Zionist money that commands his performance and will continue to do so until the crew that moves the ship demands real change, even if that means real mutiny." |

Weighing the 'hit' against Iran"People, including the media are not fully aware of what a nuclear exchange would mean, in terms of the scale of human losses, of radiation, devastation, the so-called nuclear winter of darkness, the nuclear holocaust that would actually make the area, the region and the geography completely uninhabitable for many years to come." |

Why Israel Won't Accept a Two-State Solution"Ominously for Israel, the military deterrent of a small country stuck in the heart of the Muslim world will not last. The clock is ticking. If Israel ceases to be a Jewish-majority state, what will Israeli parents say when their secular children ask them what's so cool about being a minority in a small country next to Syria when one could be a minority in a big country next to Canada? Israel must travel the painful road to Taba: all the way, all alone, and all at once. The odds are stacked against it. But then the odds of Moses parting the sea were never that good either." |

Virtual offices, Public Transit can save jobs and environment"We are at a major crossroads, and if we don't choose in favour of a healthy and sustainable future, the next generation of Canadians will judge us severely for abdicating our collective responsibilities." |

American Politics, Terrorism and Islam"With the Western media's uncanny appetite for violence, yellow journalism and preference to show incidents where Muslims are probable culprits, the overwhelming perception in the West is that if you are looking for a terrorist just focus on Muslims (esp. Arabs), you don't have to profile anyone else. Naturally, the obsessed western corporate media won’t spend time discussing: why a very small minority within the Muslim community has now taken up arms against the West, the Goliath that it has become..." |

Obama's Accuser and the Surreal Scene at the NPCThe fur was flying fast and furiously at the National Press Club on June 18, 2008. Larry Sinclair was in town--the bete noire of U.S. Sen. Barrack Obama (D-IL). After making an opening statement, the media ripped into Sinclair, challenging just about every aspect of his anti-Obama yarn. It wasn’t a good day for the accuser. He was also arrested after his spiel by the DC cops and turned over to two Federal Marshals on an outstanding Delaware warrant. |

Is Obama the New Progressive Avatar?"Will America's newfound role as peacekeeper of the world bode well for Obama's election? There is a deep hunger in this country for peaceable solutions to the crises emanating from the Middle East, Iraq, and Afghanistan, just as there has been an unquenching thirst for blood for the crimes committed by fanatics and fundamentalists on all sides." |
