En terrorcelle som vervet folk til selvmordsaksjoner i Irak og Afghanistan, ble sprengt av italiensk politi tirsdag. Cellens tyngdepunkt lå i Lombardia, men hadde forgreninger over hele Europa. 20 ble arrestert. De fleste var tunisiere. Politiet sier det bekrefter at området rundt Milano og andre steder i Nord-Italia er et senter for ekstrem-islam. Aktiviteten har pågått i mange år. "Once more, the central role of Milan and Lombardy in the panorama of Islamic militants has been confirmed," the C …

2007-11-05 13:28  A Battle Rages in London Over a Mega-Mosque Plan
Disputes over mosques have broken out across Europe. Residents from Belgium to France to Germany have expressed unease at minarets competing in the urban landscape with the spires and stones of centuries-old cathedrals. But the fight raging over an abandoned lot in London's East End is of an altogether grander scale. A large and secretive Islamic sect proposed building what would have been the largest mosque in Europe, smack at the gateway to the 2012 Olympic Games, and within sight of London's …

2007-10-25 20:20  All for one, one for all
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 25/10/07): Students of the European Union have become accustomed to rating competing member states in a sort of political Champions League table. National standings vary as leaders come and go. The perennial question is: who's up, who's down It's a game the likes of Jacques Chirac loved to play. But in the lull after the storm over the EU's reform treaty, Europe's current Big Three - Britain's Gordon Brown, Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy - fi …

2007-10-16 13:16  From Russia with pragmatism
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 16/10/07): In typical he-man style, Russia's Vladimir Putin ignored an alleged plot to assassinate him and went ahead today with a visit to Tehran. Iran says the plot story was black propaganda fabricated by its enemies, which may well be true. Historically speaking, Russians need no outside help in doing away with their leaders. They manage perfectly well by themselves. It is also true though that, over the centuries, Persian-Russian relations have been spattered …

Hauled before a military tribunal at the American naval base in Guantánamo Bay, the detainee, picked up in Afghanistan, asked why he was being held. For associating with a member of al-Qaeda, he was told. Give me his name, the detainee demanded. The tribunal's president said he didn't know it. Nor did any of the tribunal's other members. œHow can I respond to this � the detainee cried before being taken back to his cell to continue his detention, perhaps for the rest of his life. This Kafkaesque …

There was a 'M*A*S*H' episode in which all of the characters were asked what books they had brought with them.  Amidst all of the traditional answers of 'the Bible', 'War and Peace', etc., I loved Hawkeye's answer best: "The dictionary; all the other books are in there."  And so they are. Betty, of And So Forth (among other blogs)  has tagged me for a reading/book meme. Hmmm, me and books!  I persist, much against the advice of everyone, in hauling my books with me.  They've moved from the U.S. …

2007-10-11 10:02  If only Malaysia has leaders half of Lee s Intelligence
T his is what you call a world-class leader, a person who can debate and argue with perfect common sense. What surprises me was how this 84-year-old Singapore former premier Lee Kuan Yew keep up-todate information using IT-technology and I bet he bring along his own PDA where-ever he goes. If only Malaysia has leaders with intelligence half this old-man, the country could do better than Singapore as admitted by senior Lee. And you don t have to wait for the year 2020 (or 2050) to become a develo …

2007-10-11 00:56  Iraq: The Failure of an Entire World
(Originally posted at The Motley Patriot )In 2003, the United States under President Bush set a dangerous precedent; it invaded a foreign, sovereign nation based on lies. Why was this unprecedented No, it wasn't the war itself; nations have warred for centuries. It wasn't that the war was based on lies or false rhetoric in the press; both of those have occurred before. It was unprecedented because the world had two responses to this action; part of the world yawned then turned their heads while …

By Bronwen Maddox (THE TIMES, 09/10/07): Is anguish about the US s sour relations with the world a problem of the past Sadly not, argue a quartet of French and American think-tankers in a persuasive pamphlet which is more precise and practical than the genre normally delivers. Iraq isn t the lasting problem, they maintain, even if it was the cause of so much tension. Nor was the Bush Administration s high-handed pursuit of national interest entirely to blame, they say (and Gary Samore, one of th …

Idag verkar fokus ligga på cyberkrigföring. Man kan förstås undra varför information om aktiveringen nu sprids in en tidning från Rupert Murdocks imperium.

But for the people who remain behind Almost certainly better to cultivate one's own garden and trade than conquer--especially with blowback, especially with blowback with modern industrial weapons.
