"As the big powers of the world scramble for a foothold in Central Asia China uses it's growing economic clout in the region to put some more nails in the coffin of one of it's ethnic minorities."

"If the Bush-Cheney Gang continues to treat the Karni case as simply a supposed violation of an export licensing law, and not as a potentially serious terrorism-supporting crime, with ramifications that pose a real and continuing threat to the very security of the nation, then we have to ask ourselves this final question: Is the U.S.’ “special relationship” with Zionist Israel a national suicide pact?"

We can see success of their approach in the immigration laws that treat persons from 24 countries (including all Western Europe, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Slovenia and Singapore) differently than the rest of the world. It is interesting to note that this group is comprised of all of the former colonial bandits."

"The media is in any case suspect of left wing sympathies, of giving expression to the Palestinian narrative--and the public doesn't really believe what it reads and hears. Corruption becomes a drama that sells newspapers, and the contents of the front pages are treated like gossip columns."
