2007-11-06 21:31  Musharraf - vanskelig å forstå
Musharraf ser ut til å være sin egen verste fiende. Han sier han vil slå ned ekstremistene, men går istedet løs på de liberale deler av samfunnet. Nå er han sikker på å få dem mot seg som han hadde trengt mot ekstremistene. Maktbasen krymper. At hæren misliker tapene i nord, er også foruroligende. Musharraf ser ut til å ha rotet det ordentlig til. In imposing the state of emergency on Saturday, Musharraf said he intended to crush Islamic militants, who have extended their deadly assaults beyond …

2007-11-06 12:50  Blue Plate Special
It was another one of those Uni Watch red-alert moments last night, as about a dozen readers e-mailed me all at once and another half-dozen or so posted all at once in the comments section. The cause Jason Strudwick of the Rangers got in a fight and his nameplate came loose during the fisticuffs, revealing some nasty-looking adhesive residue on the underside. All of which is very entertaining. But here's my question: Since when have the Rangers been using nameplates I always thought they used di …

2007-11-06 10:42  Pakistan: CADTM condemns the state of emergency declared by Pervez Musharraf, for too long supported …
On Saturday 3 November 2007, Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency and ordered widespread repressive measures against the numerous opponents of his regime. Several activists for democracy in CADTM's Pakistan branch were taken into custody in Lahore the same day. These decisions follow a highly contested presidential election (by indirect suffrage) won by Musharraf in totally anti-democratic circumstances. In CADTM's view, Musharraf intends to use force to hold on to …

Kan inte låta bli att citera Jeff Huber, som skriver bloggen Pen and Sword, angående "skillnaderna" (en ironisk betraktelse) mellan USA och Pakistan: That brings up a couple more differences between America and Pakistan. If Musharraf falls from power, Pakistan's nuclear weapons might fall under the control of known lunatics, while America's nuclear weapons are already under the control of known lunatics.

By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): Condoleezza Rice keeps pretty chirpy, but it was a gloomy weekend for US power and interests in the Middle East. Every way she looked during a flying visit to the region, hopes of progress turned to dust in her hands. From Pakistan to the occupied Palestinian territories, there is a sense of imminent unravelling born of misjudgment and long-term neglect. President-General Pervez Musharraf's "second coup" was a personal rebuff for the US secretary of sta …

By Peter Preston (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): When, last year, America's heavyweight Foreign Policy magazine moved Pakistan into its top 10 of failed states - at No 9, just ahead of Afghanistan - assorted Islamabad ministers clambered on to the highest of horses. The charge was insulting, ludicrous ... But, baby, try it again now.Here is a huge Islamic nation, nuclear bombs primed not promised, plunged once more under full monty martial law.

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 …

Today social movements are confronted by a new phase in the capitalist neoliberal system's offensive. This period is characterised above all by a state of permanent global war. For most of the human race this war means recolonisation. Using the ˜war on terror' as a cover, this war aims at controlling natural resources by pillaging peoples the world over. American projects in the ˜Greater Middle East' and South America are the most visible signs of this. Nevertheless, they cannot cover up the ˜fo …

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 …

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 …

I sitt tal riktade Bush också en kejserlig uppmaning till övriga världen att enas i Kubafrågan: And now is the time for the world to put aside its differences and prepare for Cuban's transition to a future of freedom and progress and promise.

2007-10-23 18:23  America's war without end
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 23/10/07): Planned US spending on the "global war on terror" is set to rise sharply in the coming year, despite claims from the president, George Bush, that al-Qaida is on the run in Iraq. A funding request sent to Congress this week seeks $196.4bn (£96bn) for counter-terrorism in 2007-8, $25bn up on this year. The Pentagon's separate budget request amounts to an additional $481.4bn. Justifying these whopping increases, Mr Bush repeats a favourite mantra, that "Am …

Alltid roligt att få bekräftelse på vad jag sagt i ett år från Chatham House. Utan en politisk lösning finns det ingen väg ut ur Afghanistan. Natos prestige är inkopplad samtidigt som man inte vill skicka de styrkor eller resurser som behövs  för en återuppbyggnad. Och COIN som det heter på militär amerikanska är knappast möjligt så länge som NATO och de amerikanska trupperna envisas med att bomba sänder byar så fort Talibaner visar sig.

Tariq Ali om utvecklingen i Pakistan The tragedy of Pakistan is that the People's Party of Bhutto and its rivals offer no real alternatives to the policies currently being pursued. The State Department notion of Bhutto perched on Musharraf's shoulder parrotting pro-Washington homilies was always ridiculous. Now there are doubts as to whether she will even reach the General's shoulder.

By Graham Stewart (THE TIMES, 20/10/07): Events in Pakistan have taken yet another dreadful turn for the worse with the suicide bomb attacks on Benazir Bhutto s homecoming rally. Ms Bhutto has been quick to accuse supporters of the late military ruler Mohammad Zia ul-Haq of complicity. Others suspect al-Qaeda. For any Pakistani politician the equation seems unappealingly simple. Attacking the terror fastnesses in Waziristan and the other border regions along the old North West Frontier courts pe …

Here, as events in the 90s in Algeria showed, the exact responsibility for any given atrocity is not necessarily important. When I lived in Pakistan, in the late 90s, few supported such acts, at home or abroad. In the aftermath of 2001, the war on terror and the invasion of Iraq, support soared. …

2007-10-19 21:37  Pakistan holds its breath
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 19/10/07): Generally speaking, there is no upside to a suicide bombing, especially one as pitiless, as treacherous, and as costly of human life as that which hit home in Karachi yesterday. The slaughter came at the very moment when hope of a better, more prosperous and more democratic future had at last returned to the hearts of millions of impoverished, disillusioned and effectively disenfranchised Pakistanis. But if, as now seems likely, the mass murder pushes P …
