1. Awesome! n/t

2. Kick!

3. I think that website is just awful. Narrow minded Naderite-type speil

constantly. With a racist hatred of all but a few white Americans thrown in for good measure. They have a simplistic bent on politicians, they decide a few are infallable, Jesse Jackson Jr., Howard Dean, and everyone else is scum.

4. What makes you think this site is racist?

5. I like Black Commentator

I don't always agree with everything he says, but I don't recall any blanket attacks on the white race. The article on Iraq has some interesting links re Fallujah, by the way.

6. I do not agree with all the comments in this article either.But

as a person who has lived over the years in several European, Latin American and Asian countries, I find the ignorance of average Americans regarding people in these countries appalling.One should also say that there is widespread ignorance of America in these countries also.To me, the ignorance of Americans is especially damaging to the people in the rest of the world because America is overwhelmingly powerful, economically and militarily.The ignorance of a Brazilian is not likely to cause the same level of damage to us, much less the ignorance of a Cuban, Haitian, South Vietnamese and so on.This is why I believe that we must concentrate on using our economic power and use restraint whenever we get tempted to use military power.The constant demonizing of insignificant countries
and resorting to military solutions against them is likely to blow up in our faces sooner or later.Our credibility is best preserved by
using restraint and seeking to involve the UN and NATO.

7. The best thing I've read in weeks.

8. DJ, could you cue up

"Tell It Like It Is?"

[Laughing Mirror]

9. Best commentary of the week

Killing Sadr will not improve the U.S. position – indeed, there is no scenario rooted in Iraqi realities that can extricate the Bush men from their failure and its global ramifications.

The UN cannot save the Project for a New American Century’s plan from ruin – even if the Iraqis acquiesced to UN supervision, which is problematic given the world body’s collaboration with U.S. persecution of Iraq since 1991. In any event, the United Nations was (and remains) on the Bush men’s liquidation list, as an impediment to American global rule. Any success for the UN represents a defeat for the Pirates.

10. this is the most cogent, most accurate appraisal of the situation in Iraq

that I have read to date . . . as they often do, the folks at the Black Commentator have a far better handle on the truth of what's happening than do the so-called mainstream media and their corporate masters . . . because, unlike other media, they recognize the truth and are willing to publish it . . . the entire Iraq situation is summed up so well in this passage:

"what is sure is that Bush has no solution to the Iraqi problem. He is the problem."

until Americans -- the government, the people, and the media -- understand that the world does not revolve around the United States, and that aspirations to American hegemony are nothing but fantasy, there will never be peace in the world . . . and it will be our fault more than anyone's . . .
