dissent

it seems that the US has not yet given up its agenda of war on Iraq.

the worrisome factor is the voices against this agenda is feeble among the US political classes as well as in the US civil society.
Let us strengthen the global voice of reason to prevent armed conflict

it is nothing new in history that the US unwarrantedly interfere in the domestic politics of the third world contries.the latest one is Bangaladesh.

in the name of promoting democracy,many undemocratic acts have been committed.
The US thinks that they are the sole arbiter of all disputes.
the reason for interference is obvious.the selfishness of the US and its corporate economic and political and strategic interests.

let the US see the reality.it is not the world of 19 and 20th century.the people will resist against any interference.

let's welcome wholeheartily dems control of the Senate and House.

it would have positive global impact.let's again begin the process of building democratic culture and democratic institutions,instead of brute militarism and hegemony

The head of the defence team of Saddam Hussein accused the US troops of preventing him and his colleagues from returning to Amman.

They were deprived of an access to the media and the world's legal organizations.

"The defence team members ... under a kind of confinement inside the Green Zone since Monday, while several experts, observers and journalists who attended the last session have been evacuated," Khalil Duleimi said in a letter e-mailed to the media in Amman.

by all accounts,saddham's death sentence is unwarranted and unlawful.it is mockery of juriprudence.

Brazil's leftwing leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva got relected for the second term winning with 60.8 percent of the vote.

i think his landslide performance is an endorsement of his pro-poor policies,he pursued as president of Brazil for four years.He accomplished this,swimming against the popular international current,called neo-liberalism.

everywhere peoples'rights are snatched.take for example the northeast asian rgion.from 50s the US had tightly established its hold in the region,both economically and militarily,troops of more than 35000 US soldiers have been stationed in south korea.although the north korea's nuclear misadventure is deplorable,it seems they dont have any other choice to establishe their peoples rughtful hegemony in thier country using nuclear deterrant as a weapon.

How corruption and violence is all-pervasive in our system

‘I saw the bribe money’ told former Senate employee in the court. She was eyewitness to De la Rúa- era alleged payoffs to grease labor reform bill. She was a former congressional employee. She told the court that she had seen 300,000 dollars paid in bribes to a senator. This revelation could break as a political scandal and has the potential of shattering the elected
government.

Another notable news to illustrate the
degeneration our democratic values could be found in an Argentina's newspaper under the title;’ Electoral rioters for trial’it all revealed in an electoral court in the province
of Catamarca. The court prosecuted
more than 200 people. They had involved in violent incidents during the local
elections in March 2003.

some years ago,several mayors and Peronist party members who were
supporters of union leader Luis Barrionuevo were accused of burning ballot boxes, public buildings and attacking citizens. The violence continued unabated to the extent of the suspension of the vote.

From President Bush’s news conference on Tuesday, one can easily understand his mind; that Iraq is sliding into civil war and Americans, including many of his fellow Republicans are increasingly losing faith on his handling of the situation.

Bush made a point that US troops will be in Iraq even after he leaves office in 2009.this is what the skeptics of war then said, before the beginning of this misadventure, that it would be a torturous long-drawn one and the US would lose credibility in the meantime.

U.S Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is on a visit to Australia.

She discussed China's emergence as a regional power with Australian officials in Sydney. The talks are held as prelude to security talks with Australia and Japan.

Let me quote her arrogant remarks and make my comments.
"We've said that we have concerns about the Chinese military buildup-Rice.
Why do the US not concerned about Israel’s mighty build up that threatens the asian countries?

We've told the Chinese that they need to be transparent about what their military buildup means,"-Rice

Are the US and other major powers transparent? Anyway whoever it does it is very bad.

“I don't know, I used to follow Soviet defense statistics, and so I'm always a little bit uncertain about the statistics on these things.-Rice

Here we could smell the arrogance. The US cannot be the champion of the world people.

" But I heard that there's going to be a 14 percent increase in the Chinese defense budget. That's a lot. And China should undertake to be transparent about what that means."-Rice

I agree 14 percent increase is much.but Chinese and the US , UK and others must not increase the defense spending.
