| Bush Vetos Water-Boarding Ban |
| 2008-03-10 15:23:57 |
I am speechless.
“This is no time for Congress to abandon practices that have a proven track record of keeping America safe,”
What are we coming to when one of the cardinal virtues attributed to the American establishment is at once both obliterated and underlined. But honestly, what scares me the most isn’t that Bush vetoed the [...]

| They’re Starving - Let’s bomb them! |
| 2008-03-03 13:24:58 |
This particular news item really caught my eye today. Somalia is not exactly a rich place. In fact, I’d even say it’s desperately poor. There is mass starvation, and most of the country is ruled by warlords. Of course, it’s also, at least according to some, a hotbed of terrorism. Of course it is. If you’re starving, have absolutely [...]

| Candidate Mudslinging Commences In Earnest |
| 2008-02-28 09:32:25 |
I scan the U.S media with a smile on my face. Candidacy politics have turned very, very personal lately with the big media corps taking hits on the candidates. Depending on which news service you plug into the results vary wildly, with the usual bias and predictability.
Obama was caught in Fox New’s crossfire, I noticed [...]

| Sorry for the delays |
| 2008-02-28 07:16:46 |
I’ve been a little sloppy recently. The reason for this is that I have been slapped with both a complete and irrevocable computer failure, and a vicious cold that has me by the throat — literally.
I’ll be back as soon as possible. In the meantime Coeus has been kind enough to write an article or [...]

| Starvation - The Crime of Our Time |
| 2008-02-25 13:51:06 |
A recent BBC article starkly highlights the largest problem of our time: starvation. In the western world, we rarely, if ever, go hungry. We see food as something that can be bought in supermarkets. We don’t often see it as a cut-throat market where more or less anything goes.
In a world where many people are starving, and where [...]

| Free Karim Amer |
| 2008-02-23 08:34:24 |
Egyptian blogger Karim Amer was imprisoned last year on charges of publishing on the Internet material critical of Islam and President Mubarak. The then 22 year old blogger accuses his captors of beatings and repeated human rights abuses. With medical records inside the Borg Al-Arab Prison in Alexandria omitting details such as broken teeth, received [...]

| One Headline Cannot Suffice |
| 2008-02-22 12:29:00 |
Main News Stories
Today bears the scars of a very rich day in the news. No single topic would do it justice. Instead, a run-down down on today’s news and my impressions.
We have, of course, the wildly controversial attack on the U.S embassy in Serbia. The U.N has objected in the “strongest possible terms” (which isn’t [...]

| U.S Missile Sparks Weapons Race Fears |
| 2008-02-21 07:56:01 |
A U.S SM-3 missile has successfully hit a rogue satellite in space. Although there have been no updates with regards to the toxic hydrazine fuel that was the reason given for the launch. Yet the newsworthiness is all down to the “hit” component.
“Nearly all of the debris will burn up on re-entry [of the [...]

Taiwan has been amongst the first to congratulate Kosovo on its independence, a telling move given its own struggles and current status.
” Despite a multitude of barriers, the people of Kosovo have insisted on an ideal that they believe in, which is to peacefully pursue independence, without being threatened or scared away. Their determination in [...]

| George HW Bush Sides With McCain |
| 2008-02-18 13:12:00 |
Not that I would usually comment on something like this. But I found Bush’s remarks almost comical. Before I post them, allow me to come to an agreement with you. Despite what our personal political positions are. It is no secret that part of the reason the entire world feels like it should be voting [...]
