2007-11-07 05:30 Nutter goes Mayor
Appearently there was an election today and one of the candidates were tossing a party at the same hotel as the DLF is held at. There's half a dozen of OBs outside and the major networks are sending live from the same floor we were occupying earlier today. I guess the hotel staff will be busy cleaning things up during the night so that it'll be clean and tidy before the upcoming presentations tomorrow morning. [DLFfall2007]

2007-11-05 21:26 Who really killed de Menezes
By David Aaronovitch (THE TIMES, 05/11/07): A couple of years ago I did my second stint of jury service at a Central London court. We ended up hearing a case in which a middle-class couple were terrorised one evening by a man who had decided, wrongly, that they were connected with an earlier argument he d lost with someone else entirely. There was a lot of punching, threatening and door-smashing involved, and the woman was still so scared that she testified from behind a screen so that the accus …

This video shows US Soldiers interacting with children of third-world countries and soldier children. Children who a trained in war and some are not even 10 years old. Los niños soldado son una realidad en varios países de Africa. Y ello ocurre ante la mirada un poco indolente de los Estados Unidos, China, Europa y Rusia. No son sólo raptados, apalizados y adoctrinados como máquinas de matar, sino que muchas veces son provocados por sesiones de terror con el uso abusivo de cocaína y otras drogas …

Cuando la campaña del Gobernador Mitt Romney nos anunciaba hace meses que a finales de año observaríamos cómo se colocaba en primera posición en intención de voto en Carolina del Sur, pocos nos lo tomábamos en serio. Por aquel entonces aparecía como cuarta opción en las encuestas del primer estado sureño que albergará primarias. Su perfil republicano poco ortodoxo, de religión mormona y vecino de la Yankee Massachusetts, parecía jugar con desventaja en esta plaza de costumbres fijas. Pero el tie …

Jag hade länge fått intrycket av att Rudy Giuliani var en någorlunda sekulär kandidat. Kanske har jag fel på den punkten Historikern David Greenberg hävdar i alla fall det. Via Washington Post : The "social" and "cultural" issues that divide Americans encompass much more than guns, gay rights and abortion. They include state support of religion; the legitimacy of dissenting speech; the president's right to keep information secret; the place of fair procedures in dispensing justice. The Bush admi …

2007-10-25 20:18 ˜Taleban with nukes No, but time is running out
By Bronwen Maddox (THE TIMES, 25/10/07): This has been a shatteringly bleak week for Pakistan, but not one that condemns it to being a failed state. The return of Benazir Bhutto, overshadowed by the bomb that killed 140, is a step forward. But although she has been championed in Europe and the US, she is a long way from being the solution to her country s savage problems. Pakistan dominates Britain s foreign worries, officials say, and they are right. It is not just that terrorism is on the incr …

Mientras Obama se come los mocos, John Edwards parece estar tomando la iniciativa como verdadera alternativa a Hillary Clinton.

El Washington Post se detiene hoy a analizar la creciente agresividad del candidato Edwards, y señala directamente a la …

A second-tier sporting organization, the Arena Football League, have decided to fold their Vegas operations and relocate the team to Cleveland. Not that anyone really cares about Arena Football, but this doesn't bode well for local Las Vegas politicos efforts to lure a professional sports team to town. What are your chances to get an NBA, NHL, MLB or NFL franchise if you can't even keep an Arena Football team in town Slim to none, i'd guess. Wonder what Mayor...

Man skal være forsikig med historiske analogier, men noen ganger er det som jeg føler vi lever i 20-30-årene. Denne gang heter fascismens sentrum Iran, sa Tony Blair under en større tale i New York før helgen. Blair kan være meget tydelig og klar i sin analyse. Det var han denne gang når det gjelder Irans rolle. Han sa også at USA og Europa er på vikende front og ikke helt forstår trusselen. In his first major speech since leaving office, Mr Blair said that Iran was prepared to destabilise peace …

I must confess that, in the present days, almost the only way I can write about the vicissitudes of the Italian Left is to do so in English (and this is likely why my posts on that subject aren t as many as they should ...). I guess this is a tedium-related problem, due to a sort of saturation effect too many disappointments, frustrations, rages. It s a hard life being a reformist in Italy, or even having been so for years, as I can testify from personal experience. Yet, when I write in English …

I don't see any major headlines about it. But why The greater majority of people around the world seem to understand the logic.
