The current President of United States finds himself in God’s company more often than any other modern American President.

One has been hearing about George Bush’s close encounters with God for years now. We have all heard about how God talks to the President, giving him instructions on how to conduct foreign policy (particularly: which countries to invade). Quite evidently, President George W. Bush did a good job at following orders because he got reelected to a second term. Read more

Last month John Bolton, the controversial new US ambassador to the UN, submitted a whopping 750 amendments calling for wholesale changes to the draft declaration for this month’s summit to strengthen the UN and review progress towards its Millennium Development Goals to halve world poverty by 2015.

It may be recalled that John Bolton is the same gent who in 1994 asserted that “there is no such thing as the United Nations” and later that “if the UN Secretariat building in New York lost ten stories, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.” Read more



Here Lies Vera, God help Us All

Here Lies Vera, God help Us All

 

A woman’s body lay at the corner of two roads in the lower Garden District of the storm smashed New Orleans. Unclaimed for days, people covered the corpse with blankets or plastic sheets. By last Sunday, a short wall of bricks had risen around the body, holding down a plastic canvas. On it, someone had spray-painted a cross and the fateful words, “Here lies Vera. God help us.”No other six words, however eloquent, could so powerfully describe the devastating plight and the utter hopelessness of the victims. The forlorn feelings of despair and of having been abandoned by their government, that these words radiate, hit one like a ton of bricks. Not even the images from the calamity struck area of people trying to survive by scavenging like wild animals and dead bodies stuffed in corners of the Superdome or floating face down in the putrid sea water move one with such intensity. Those six words say it all.

And while that wall was rising around Vera’s body brick by brick, the President of United States was either fiddling or partying or addressing gullible Americans trying to resell the lost war of Iraq, on every chance that he got, with worn out clichés like ‘terror’, 9/11, ‘freedom’ and ‘sacrifice’ etc. Read more



If I were America’s Secretary of State

If I were America’s Secretary of State and wished to dissuade my President from attacking Iran, my arguments to him would be as follows. (the only aid I would need would be a grade-5 student’s atlas)

I would tell the President that we must not attack Iran because even a hyper power like us has certain limits. I would tell him that we must refrain from this next escapade because we are presently mired in Iraq where the sandal footed resistance fighters have blunted the edge of our technology and our casualties are mounting astronomically each day what with 5000 of our soldiers dead already, 30,000 wounded and 6000 deserted.

A Possible 3rd World War and The Emerging Chen-Ivan Alliance

An attack on Iran by the United States of America in the not too distant a future, with or without a staged 9/11, is no more a vague possibility. Having been already addressed, the reasons for the possible war from either the aggressor or the victim’s stand point are not the aim of this paper. What is of interest here is that many analysts are now openly talking of the possibility of a 3rd World War if that does happen. Are they merely being prophets of doom or is there material basis for their omens? Let us analyze this possibility in plain and simple English language.

A world war can only take place when it involves two are more of the great/super powers. So far the only super power the United States of America (read the coalition), absent the other great powers who are watching the show from the side lines, is unilaterally engaged in waging its own wars pursuant to its ‘national interests’ as defined by the current US administration– reason thereby of the American wars so far being technically only wars and not world wars.

The Irony Is…

The irony is that when you are pro-war and anti-peace you are ‘Right’ but when you are pro-peace and anti-war you are ‘Left’.

The irony is that the world’s biggest hoarder of weapons of mass destruction, the United States of America, moralizes sitting smugly atop huge heaps of these and threatens to lay waste to any other country even dreaming of these. The irony is that the rationale given for all those WMDs was the Cold War yet the USA continues to deploy 6000 nuclear warheads fifteen years after the end of Cold War.

The irony is that the only ever user of the nuclear weapons, the USA, blames countries not even possessing these of having intent to use them and chaperons the only other country, Israel, that has them and openly threatens their use.

The irony is that North Korea has been shouting from the rooftops for the past so many years that its nuclear program is weapons oriented yet Iran’s declaredly peaceful nuclear program is being targeted. Read more
