    By ETHAN BRONNER
    Published: May 3, 2009
    JERUSALEM — The new government of Israel is seeking to reorient the country’s foreign policy, arguing that to rely purely on the formulas of trading land for peace and promising a Palestinian state fails to grasp what it views as the deeper issues: Muslim rejection of a Jewish state and the rising hegemonic appetite of Iran.

    27th April 2009
    In the latest development in Nepal’s experiment with allowing former rebels to take the helm of the nation’s democratically elected government, the Maoist leadership formally retracted its threat last week to sack the chief of the formerly royalist Nepal army. The move, some say, may have saved the less-than-a- year-old government from being overthrown. The intractable dispute over assimilating the former Maoist guerrillas into the army, as per the terms of the peace accord (…)

    On May 13, the University of Alberta plans to open their new School of Public Policy with an opening gala at which the guest of honour is Condoleezza Rice. Rice has emerged as a central figure in the developing US torture and war crimes scandal. "This is your baby. Go do it," Rice is reported to have said authorizing waterboarding by CIA.
    Regrettably there has been little protest from the academic community in Canada, or the national student organizations who have been aware of Rice’s (…)

    Even the Spanish and German leaders arrive in bigger aircraft, let alone Barack Obama’s mighty Air Force One.
    Next month work will begin on a project to give Mr Sarkozy wings in keeping with his ambitions when French (…)
