    There is no evidence of a country having benefitted from prolonged warfare.
    Sun Tzu Wu
    Americans, dizzy from all the conflicting "War on Terror" reportage, were recently assured by numerous, customarily reliable sources that the Neocons no longer held the reins of the empire. Indeed, even the Neocons said so themselves. Witness their Exhibit A: the premature resignation of PNAC, which they ran from as if it were an unattended backpack in an airport. This from a group of fellows routinely (…)

    BEIJING - Chinese scientists are warning that the country’s northeast breadbasket regions are in danger of losing their fertility because of soil erosion and degeneration.
    "The northeast areas are the granary of the country. Soil erosion and degeneration will jeopardize the nation’s grain security," said Zhang Xudong, a soil expert with the Shenyang-based Institute of Applied Ecology under the Chinese (…)

    BAGHDAD — Iraq’s deadly insurgent groups have financed their war against U.S. troops in part with hundreds of thousands of dollars in U.S. rebuilding funds that they’ve extorted from Iraqi contractors in Anbar province.
    The payments, in return for the insurgents’ allowing supplies to move and construction work to begin, have taken place since the (…)

    Paralyzed Gaza girl, Maria Amin is in need of humanitarian help
    By Mary MacElveen
    August 26, 2007
    As most of you know through my columns and my on-air appearance on CNN concerning Youssif, I am very concerned for all children either maimed or killed by war. In Youssif’s case, he will be coming to the United States along with his family for treatment. His treatment will be long and arduous, but seeing his energy via the feed produced by CNN, he may surprise those that will provide his (…)

    “Man is the only animal that blushes—or needs to.” — Mark Twain
    What would we do without him? I’m talking about Abe Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Although, he mostly pretends to be one of the guys, he actually does have some super abilities. Working 24/7, he functions like a One-Man Censor Board to protect Americans from any ideas that might cause them to question what the Israel Firsters, like himself, are really up to. He also can perform as an attack (…)

    QUNEITRA, Syrian Golan Heights— Trucks of every size were queued up for miles and some hadn’t budged in days. At the end of the line, drivers resigned to a long, hot ordeal set up camp waiting for inspections.
    At the border checkpoint on the Beirut-Damascus highway, each industrial vehicle must be searched in compliance with UN Resolution 1701 to insure it isn’t smuggling missiles or weapons into Lebanon. Israel and the US repeatedly charge Syria with rearming Hezbollah, and if true it (…)
