The first step to change this catastrophic climate is for the west to engage with [...]
I think this is a very thought-provoking article and a must read by our fellow Americans, specially the silent majority:

While watching the news last night, a breaking live broadcast of Bush speech in Prague was on air. I never liked to hear this dump, but for unknown reason I decided to listen to his remarks.
While listening to him, I was speaking to myself. This is how it goes (transcript can be found here):

First of all, please meet Handala (Hat tip: Ben Heine for his great artwork):
Handala (or Hanzala) is the most famous of the Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali’s cartoon characters. From approximately 1975 through 1987 Naji Al-Ali created cartoons that depict the complexities of the plight of Palestinian refugees. These cartoons are still relevant today and Handala, [...]
Do you believe President Bush’s actions justify impeachment? 1) Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial. 2) No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching “high crimes and misdemeanors.” 3) No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching. 4) I don’t know.

According to the US and Israeli foreign ministers, the Arab peace initiative is a non-binding Arab position for which the Arabs deserve a pat on the back and a friendly nudge to modify it. The very quality of eliciting such encouragement is what keeps the initiative from being an initiative.
Evidently, the [...]
AIPAC and leadership of so called “mainstream” Jewish organizations (AJC, JF, ADL, and all the other of alphabet soup) are pushing for sanctions and confrontation with Iran and since Congress and the white house are Israeli occupied territories, US foreign policy is moving in that direction.
Here are some excerpts from an interesting article published by [...]
The rules of decorum are binding: Welcome - to the U.S. Secretary of State and United Nations secretary-general, who have come here (Israel), and to the German chancellor, who is due next week. But the rules of logic are no less binding, and we must ask: So, why have you come?
All three have declared that [...]
John Howard’s servility to the US is even greater than Tony Blair’s and has earned him the nickname Bush’s deputy sheriff. The conspiracy between Washington, the media (a nascent Israel lobby in Australia is bolstered by media mogul Rupert Murdock, an Australian Zionist - MQ) and politicians is eroding the country’s freedoms.
[Excerpt…] Above all, it [...]
