2007-10-20 23:41 Naomi Wolf Cries Fascism
According to Naomi Wolf, the Bush Administration has already initiated all 10 steps necessary to bring fascism to the United States. One of my pet peeves with the Left is the tendency, almost by default, to liken the Bush Administration to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. It is a significant reason I could no longer bring myself to associate with the Left. Naomi Wolf is a textbook case of this tendency. Last month, Wolf released her sixth book, The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patri …

2007-10-13 05:06 Chapter 4: Everybody Dies
Chapter 4: Everybody Dies Six years before Jacob Mallow was a bright young man, the interviewer decided. His eyes were wide and always searching, so he looked lost, but he would probably contribute to some graduate program in bioengineering just not this one. The interviewer glanced at Jacob s folder and knew he wouldn t get in. His test scores and grades were as exceptional as those of any plausible candidate. Hell, he hadn t even heard of the St. Louis college Jacob had attended. On the …

2007-09-06 13:58 Somalia: Peace and rival peace
Image: Abdurrahman Warsameh, ISN The Somali government says the recently closed reconciliation talks in the capital were successful, but others say nothing was accomplished, while rival peace talks are now planned in Eritrea. By Abdurrahman Warsameh in Mogadishu for ISN Security Watch (06/09/07) The closing ceremony for Somalia's National Reconciliation Conference late last week marked the culmination of six weeks of wrangling over what the talks should focus on, who should participate and where …

Three stories: From the AP ... The U.S. would support regional efforts to apprehend rebels who have waged a brutal 20-year insurgency in northern Uganda, if talks to end the conflict fail, the top U.S. African affairs official said [on] Wednesday. Representatives of the Ugandan government and [the] rebel Lord's Resistance Army, or LRA, have been negotiating a peace deal in Sudan since July 2006. The talks have faltered, with rebel negotiators questioning the government's commitment to preliminar …

A new Reuters feature ( also here )...

"Hope has faded away from my heart," Ahmed said in the shell-shattered capital, Mogadishu. "I feel tepid about both the government and the Islamists. I believe [that] only Allah will give us peace."

Yesterday marked the 10th death anniversary of Princess Diana's death. If you remember, she & Dodi Fayed were killed in a high speed car accident in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris. When the news broke, I remember being at home watching CNN. I remember thinking about her kids & how much she loved them. I watched her funeral on TV, again on CNN. When the United States military faced off against the Iraqi military during Operation Desert Storm, I was again at home watching CNN. I saw the m …

A new, "official" UNHCR story, reprinted on both AlertNet and ReliefWeb ...

In 2002, he told a high-ranking British official: "My great concern is that one day the United States is going to desert me. They always desert their friends." According to this official, who declined to be identified sharing a confidence, Musharraf cited the U.S. pullouts from Vietnam in the 1970s, Lebanon in the 1980s …

Proving the adage, they can dish it out but won't take it, is the NY Times in this article today, using quotes from leftist historians who see Vietnam only through their Grateful Dead glasses.

A couple of months ago I listened to a radio documentary about three Somali-Canadians who had left comfortable homes and jobs in Canada to go back to Somalia and start a radio station in Mogadishu. They had fled Somalia during the violence of the 1980's and built new lives in Canada. But now all three saw their homeland continuing to disintegrate into violence and chaos. And most of all they saw ordinary people as having no voice. There was no forum to begin building democracy (or even for a mot …

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, frustrated by the Bush administration s intransigence in the War on Terror, flew to Syria, hoping to persuade President Assad to stop funding terror in the Middle East.

We liberals have laid out pretty persuasive arguments, and quite a few blowhard chickenhawks along the way, as to how much the arid quagmire in Iraq resembles the killing fields and rice paddies of the Vietnam war. But there are several important and fundamental differences between Iraq and Vietnam. Iraq had proved to be a geopolitical and political science primer in how to do the wrong things in the wrongest possible way. A quick look at the decisions made by Viceroy L. Paul Bremer will give on …

2007-08-21 02:15 Getting Out, Pt. 3: Failed States
As part of a series on ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I am continuing here with a broader question: What is America (or the international community) going to do about "failed states" This question resurfaced for me not only as I thought about our situation in Afghanistan, but also last week when this report about Somalia emerged. The situation in Afghanistan has many parallels with Somalia, especially in that both countries still have largely tribal societies. Neither country has a his …

2007-08-20 14:02 Why Study War
In the late '70's I was often embarrassed to admit I was a student at the United States Naval Academy... at times even ashamed. John Kerry and the anti-war left had greatly damaged the profession of arms... they redefined the way that the public perceived military professionals... and it was not very flattering. The Profession of Arms has yet to completely recover. Military folks find themselves as low on the respect scale as you can get. That's OK because almost all of them are people of great …
