Britain: Stiffer laws and armed police will never stem the rise in crime"The fundamental cause of crime in capitalist societies is the capitalist goal in life, which each member of society strives to achieve. This goal in life only recognizes the pursuit of sensual pleasure for human beings as the sole way to attain happiness. The capitalist goal in life has no room for spiritual, moral or humanitarian pursuits and therefore people are not concerned about the moral or religious implications of their actions." |

Plucking the Daisy"No one seeing what is actually going on in the occupied Palestinian territories can really believe that Sharon is on the march towards peace. Fortunately for themselves, the Leftists are blissfully ignorant." |

Should the Irish be Trusting the Brits?"The Irish people want peace, with justice, in the Brit-occupied Six Counties of N. Ireland. This is why, in 1998, they voted for the “Good Friday Agreement” (GFA), a formula for power sharing. At an Irish peace forum on 11/18/05, at Georgetown U., panelists debated the GFA. They all seem to agree the now-suspended Six County “Assembly,” had to be restored in order to make any additional progress. However, many other issues, like building trust, remain." |

Iraq war problems point finger at US media, as well as US politicians"Today’s media operates much more like an information gathering and state propaganda mechanism, than it does as journalism." |

Bobcats in a brave, new world"Unfortunately, Bush doesn't respond well to warnings, threats, challenges, suggestions, or even questions. So, with more bobcats circling and all that blood splattering around, it's hard not to look back at the Old World Order with more than a bit of longing. But Bernie says it's too late for that." |

GOP's New War On The Poor Designed To Accommodate the Nation's Wealthiest 0.2%"The Republicans called these proposals "tough choices." In reality they were very specific, targeted choices in a war on the poor, with the underlying message of "We don't' give a damn about you." If memory is not too short, these actions could cause a shift in control of the House and the Senate next year and in '08, if the poor, and those who care about them, will vote." |

Are international institutions relevant?"Contrary to widespread belief, international institutions such as the UN, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) etc., were not created to bring peace and prosperity to the world, but to serve the interests of the West. It is distressing to note, however, that the very victims of these institutions seem totally mesmerized by the high-sounding rhetoric of these organisations, and act as if their survival depends on them." |
