    "The values we share with America are those of rapacious power and wealth"
    When Gordon Brown spoke recently about his government’s devotion to the United States, "founded on the values we share", he was echoing his Foreign Office minister Kim Howells, who was preparing to welcome the Saudi dictator to Britain with effusions of "shared values". The meaning was the same in both cases. The values shared are those of rapacious power and wealth, with democracy and human rights (…)

  • Bush Who?
    8 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    George W Bush is a mystery to me, and, it would appear, to many others as well.
    He has done so many things that defy simple common sense, and said so many things – with utter conviction (no less!) – that have later been shown to be untrue, half-truths, or gross distortions and misrepresentation of truth, that it stains credulity well beyond the breaking point to propose his acts to be those of a simple, honest man doing his best, and just getting it wrong.
    Beyond these things one sees (…)

    Why I Believe Bush Must Go
    Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse.
    By George McGovern Sunday, January 6, 2008; Page B01
    As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.
    After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my (…)
