Proof President Bush has a Sense of Irony

Written by timotjb on
With George Orwell no doubt smiling widely, George Bush attended the groundbreaking of the new home of the US Institute for Peace today. Well know for his tireless commitment to diplomacy, Bush began his speech thusly: I appreciate what you do to resolve conflict and support new democracies and to build peace by promoting effective diplomacy. And speaking about effective diplomacy, it seems like you used some to get this special piece of land. One hesitates, then, to inquire just how said land was acquired. President Bush has previously illustrated his commitment to the organization's stated goals by nominating David Pipes , at times ... Read Full Story

Stolen Babies Trials in Argentina

Written by SocProf on
During the Dirty War in Argentina, that is the period between 1976 and 1983 which corresponds to the military dictatorship of General Jorge Rafael Videla, the military junta found a very convenient way of getting rid of their political opposition and of making sure the next generation would not be a problem. The regime would target young pregnant women among the opposition groups, arrest them but let them go through their pregnancies and give birth. THEN, the mothers would be killed and the babies were adopted by military families… that part alone really justifies the use of the term “dirty” in “dirty war.” Argentina, ... Read Full Story

Kosovo as Independent Nation

Written by SocProf on
Kosovo is now an independent nation, already recognized by the major European powers and the United States. However, this case has been far from uncontroversial and perfectly illustrates issues of global governance and the status of the nation-state in the global context. In the Guardian , Paul Laughland argues that the independence of Kosovo is a legal fiction with consequences but also that it does not matter. “Whatever legal trickery the west uses to override UN security council resolution 1244 - which kept Kosovo in Serbia - the proclamation of the new state will have incalculable long-term consequences: on secessionist movements from Belgium to ...

Written by TomUsher on
India emerges as leading competitor in global military market following $10bn jet fighter contract. The US secretary of defence, Robert Gates, arrives in the Indian capital, New Delhi, next week to promote a $10bn jet fighter contract, underlining the country’s emergence as one of the world’s biggest military markets. To update its Soviet-era arsenal India says it will need to spend $45bn in the next five years, and it has been courted by western states that are barred by arms embargoes from selling to China, the other expanding Asian military power. US officials admit in private that arms sales to India also cement strategic ... Read Full Story
