2007-10-30 23:16 "A Death in the Family"
Anyone who knew me before I joined knows that I am quite aware and at times sympathetic to the arguments against the war in Iraq. If you think the only way a person could bring themselves to volunteer for this war is through sheer desperation or blind obedience then consider me the exception (though there are countless like me). Consider that there are 19 year old soldiers from the Midwest who have never touched a college campus or a protest who have done more to uphold the universal legitimacy …

2007-10-23 20:17 Nasjonalistisk stemning griper Tyrkia
Mange tyrkere er grepet av en nasjonalistisk stemning som krever utløp i krig. Folk marsjerer i gatene i en blanding av begravelse og opptog. De høyreekstreme Grå Ulver har oppslutning, og ropet "Allah vil ha krig" høres. Det skumle er at dette også går ut over individuelle kurdere i hverdagen. Skulle Tyrkia invadere og miste mange soldater kan det bli riktig stygt. Dette må feks. den britiske regjering vite, likevel går man langt i å forstå tyrkerne. Ingen tør å advare mot et høyrenasjonalt hys …

By Peter W. Galbraith, a former United States ambassador to Croatia and the author of œThe End of Iraq . He is a principal in a company that does consulting in Iraq and elsewhere (THE NEW YORK TIMES, 23/10/07): In a surge of realism, the Senate has voted 75-23 to acknowledge that Iraq has broken up and cannot be put back together. The measure, co-sponsored by Joe Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate, and Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas, supports a plan for Iraq to become a loose confe …

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 …

2007-10-23 08:39 Kurdisk gerilja mot Iran - PJAK
Vi hører mye om PKK, men lite eller ingenting om PJAK - iranske kurdere som fører geriljakrig mot Iran, på samme måte som PKK mot Tyrkia. Begge kan utløse krig og Iran og Tyrkia kan meget vel komme til å samarbeide om å knuse geriljaen. Richard A. Oppel fra Herald Tribune har vært oppe i de 3.000 meter høye fjelltoppene der PJAK-geriljens soldater klatrer som fjellgeiter. PJAK står for Partiet for et fritt liv i Kurdistan. Geriljaen er sekulær og har sosialistiske røtter. Den står for likestilli …

En av de ukjente ofrene for volden i Irak er en religiøs gruppe som spore sine aner direkte tilbake til gnostikerne, dvs. fra Jesu tid. De kalles mandeere og snakker en variant av arameisk. De er få og dermed sårbare: 60.000 medlemmer. I den sekteriske atmosfæren som råder møter de liten eller ingen sympati. De har heller ingen mektige forbundsfeller. En 2.000 år gammel kultur er i ferd med å dø ut. Professor Nathaniel Deutsch skrev en rørende artikkel om dem i Herald Tribune: Mandeerne er i fer …

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 …

Using its outrage over the House resolution on the Armenian genocide as a pretext to flout its alliance with the United States. By Kenneth R. Timmerman at NewsMax (thanks to Dav): U.S. ally Turkey and U.S. arch-enemy Iran have formed a military alliance to drive opposition Kurds from bases in northern Iraq they have used since 2004 to launch guerrilla operations inside Iran, rebel leaders told Newsmax at a secret base in the Qandil mountains.

I n early Monday morning trade, New York's main oil futures contract, light sweet crude for delivery in November, was 16 cents higher than the US$86.13 a barrel amid mounting tension between Turkey and Kurdish rebels in Iraq. This is a bad news for airlines which are stupid enough not to hedge their fuel price but definitely good news for investors who long oil-related stocks. Thousands of miles away, a small but prosperous nation had a little celebration after waited for about two years. Singap …

U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, asked Hunt to turn over all Iraq-related communication with the U.S. government by Nov. 2. The lawmakers also demanded that Ray Hunt, Hunt …

It amazes me how many people (mostly Arabs) believed and still believe that Iraqis who opposed Saddam's regime were traitors to Iraq. To me they are heroes. From Regrets Only 2. By the time the American invasion began in the spring of 2003, the toppling of Saddam Hussein appeared to be one of those rare historic moments when the men of force and the men of hope could stand together. For here, in Hussein, was one of the world's indisputably evil men: he murdered as many as a million of his peopl …

2007-10-12 20:56 TURKEY-ARMENIA-KURDISTAN: THE GREAT UNRAVELING
If I were in Congress, I would have voted for the resolution to identify the Ottoman genocide of Armenians a genocide as a matter of principle. However, I share with Juan Cole ( http://www.juancole.com/ ) the sense that out of the 92 years since that horrific event, this is probably the most inappropriate year to have passed such a resolution, even though it is totally bizarre that the Republic of Turkey does not simply agree that its corrupt predecessor did indeed engage in such a genocide and …
