2007-11-04 16:51  How to Rein in Iran Without War
By Jim Hoagland (THE WASHINGTON POST, 04/11/07): Iran is working to produce a 20-to-50-pound stockpile of enriched uranium that it can use to build atomic weapons within eight to 10 weeks, once it decides to do so - and has consistently lied to the United Nations about those efforts. That headline conclusion is one of two basic points that I draw from a series of private meetings on Iran 's nuclear ambitions involving diplomats, leading academic experts, senior military officers and experienced …

NY Times har en intressant artikel om hur kvinnligt ledarskap uppfattas. Grundprincipen är att hur kvinnor än gör, så gör de fel. "It found that women who act in ways that are consistent with gender stereotypes defined as focusing œon work relationships � and expressing œconcern for other people s perspectives � are considered less competent. But if they act in ways that are seen as more œmale � like œact assertively, focus on work task, display ambition � they are seen as œtoo tough � and œunfe …

2007-10-23 18:26  Turkey is a thorn in the side of a cosy western consensus
By Slavoj Zizek, international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities (THE GUARDIAN, 23/10/07): Recent days have seen Dick Cheney and Tony Blair point belligerent fingers at Tehran, but both spoke in the slipstream of Bernard Kouchner, who a month ago warned the world that it should prepare for war over Iran's nuclear programme. "We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," said the French minister of foreign affairs. The swell of rhetoric - which culminated in Preside …

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil November 22-25, 2007 The objective of this conference is to analyse and discuss the multiple meanings of the experience of slavery in different cultural situations.

Matthew Roberts on the "rights industry" The Wrongs of œRights �. An excerpt: Modern rights are creations of the Enlightenment. Created by philosophes, rights were perpetuated (often violently) by revolutionaries, Jacobins, and other radicals. Some based them in nature; others, in the god Reason, or yet others, in the state. But they all adhere to a Procrustean universalism. These rights are œnatural, imprescriptible, and inalienable � said the revolutionary French National Assembly in 1789. The …

2007-10-16 18:42  Al Gore s œPulp Fiction �
Guest Commentary by Edward Cline: As years go by the idea of Nobel Prizes for peace and literature becomes more and more lunatic. The criteria by which literature is measured and recognized by the Norwegian Nobel Committee remain unfathomable to an outside but critical observer. This year the Prize for literature went to Doris Lessing, a British author who wrote stories with ever-in-vogue feminist themes. But the individuals who screen nominees and award the Prizes for literature could just as w …
