    The International Criminal Court (ICC) - The End of Impunity
    Why the United States Is So Opposed
    By Paul W. Kahn, December 2003
    The opposition of the United States to the International Criminal Court appears as either a puzzle or an embarrassment to many of the nation’s traditional supporters. A puzzle, because it is not at all obvious why the United States should feel so threatened by this new court. Supporters of the Court point out that there are ample provisions in the Rome Statute (…)

    (10-14) 04:00 PDT Washington —
    Sens. Joseph Biden and Chris Dodd voted against it. Sen. Barack Obama said he would have voted against it if he had voted. Former Sen. John Edwards implied he would have voted against it if he could have voted.
    And Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton? She voted in favor of the measure in question, which asked the Bush (…)

    By Gabriele Zamparini
    Bill Clinton’s former vice president Al Gore has won (together with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change"
    This Nobel Prize will hopefully help to focus time and resources into the battle against Climate Change. But there could be (…)

    Scoot Ritter. Democrats and to try to teach them a thing or two.
    Lesson one: The term should be “war prevention,” not “anti-war.” It sounds better, Ritter said.
    Lesson two: Act like a military operation - learn the battlefield, prepare it and anticipate the other side’s moves before acting.

    The Few, The Proud, Armies of One By David Glenn Cox
    Again and again they stand before the complicit media and say no, that is incorrect. The President makes claims and they repeat no, that is incorrect. Nancy and Harry talk a good game but all while they bob and weave denouncing the Presidents plans but funding them all the same. The media anointed presidential candidates of both parties do their best to distance themselves from the (…)

  • It’s insanity, stupid! - Al Gore and that Nobel Peace Prize

    By Gabriele Zamparini
    The Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore opened a heated debate: was it right to award a mass murderer and war criminal? This is a curious question that certainly would have a meaning in a sane world, certainly not in ours. A few days ago, commenting on this blog about this ordinary episode of folly, I wrote that Al Gore was
    “(…) a top war criminal that in a sane world would be hanged or imprisoned for life. But we are not living in a sane world – just in case someone (…)

    The End Of Civilization means the Begin of a New Civilization
    By Dave Eriqat
    13 March, 2006 Countercurrents.org
    I had a mild epiphany the other day: it’s not President Bush who’s living in a fantasy world, it’s most of his critics who are. I’m no apologist for Bush – I neither like nor dislike him. He’s no more significant to me than a fly buzzing around outside my window. So permit me to explain my reasoning.
    People look at Bush’s invasion of Iraq and see a miserable failure. But a (…)

    Pointing Out the Monsters among the Sheep By David Glenn Cox
    They beat a 14-year-old child to death for a minor offense and the law says they did no wrong. Emmett Till was 14 when he was beaten to death in Mississippi back in 1955. He had supposedly whistled at a white woman but that minor offense carried a death sentence. Martin Lee Anderson had stolen his grandmother’s car and was sentenced to boot camp where he was executed for his crime. (…)

    With Vice President Al Gore and Sen. Joseph Lieberman taking center stage at the Democratic National Convention this week in Los Angeles, here is an overview of party platform language along with statements and positions the two have taken on nuclear energy and its role in America’s energy mix.
