    Each time I lecture abroad on the Middle East, there is always someone in the audience – just one – whom I call the "raver". Apologies here to all the men and women who come to my talks with bright and pertinent questions – often quite humbling ones for me as a journalist – and which show that they understand the Middle East tragedy a lot better than the journalists who report it. But the "raver" is real. He has turned up in corporeal form in Stockholm and in Oxford, in Sao (…)

    27 September 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Mark Lavie in Jerusalem
    In its strongest condemnation of Israel since last summer’s war, Human Rights Watch said yesterday that most Lebanese civilian casualties were caused by "indiscriminate Israeli air strikes".

    Of course, we KNEW this in 2003. Both Blix and Scott Ritter declared there were no WMD and bush’s anxiousness to invade was personal, not based on threats.

    Ghost Dance By David Glenn Cox
    When the Teton Sioux nation surrendered in 1876-77 they were promised that they could maintain sovereignty on their land. They would be treated as a sovereign nation; they could elect their own leaders and make their own policies. But very quickly it became apparent that they were captives on their own land. They could choose only the leaders that met with Washington’s approval. They could set only policies that (…)

    Things are in the saddle And ride mankind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson
