The
Global Column:
A proxy war in the backyard of the US
A "proxy war' is breeding in the backyard of the US. It's a territory larger than the current lines of combat in Afganistan or Irak, it is the entire continent of South America, the largest battlefront to be in the current global war against Islamic Terrorism.A sequel of PresidentBbush's arrogant global policy.More
The "vendetta" of Che Guevara
When I first wrote about "the revenge of Che Guevara”, in the seventies - the article was first published in the then still young newspaper El Pais, I never thought that the circumnstancial tragic fate of persons (civilian and military) linked to the Revolutionary, would eventually hit high in the echelons of the Cuban Revolution.More

War crimes in the Bush era
Of all sequels stemming from the Iraq war when it ends -if it ever ends-, the greatest will be the holocaust of the Iraqi people: How many civilians died? 100.000? 1 million? To this date, the nov.04 battle of Falluja, nobody knows. But somebody will be held historically responsible. Saddam? Ossama? You choose, you guess.More

Kerry wins the first round
Kerry looked like a President. The pro-Democrat “Move On” said. From London, BBC American Journalist Greg Palast wrote a story titled Mr. Tall (Kerry) and Mr. Small. The debate on Thursday night 30th, was a make-or-break moment in the Democratic Party’s campaign to win back the White House.More
Chavez choice
Venezuelan President’s overwhelming victory now confirmed, in spite of opposition’s stentorous claims of electoral fraud - which neither OAS nor Carter Center observers could confirm after in their on the spot “quick counts”- faces a sort of hamletian choice: To be a democratic reformist or to yield to a totalitarian temptation.More
Global backlash, Democrats say
The episode of American soldiers torturing or humiliating mostly civilian Iraqi prisoners, has prompted a “global backlash” of criticism against the U.S., the Democratic party noted using the issue as a powerful political argument against president Bush, who seeks reelection next November. More
Plenty of political collateral casualties of “Operation Freedom Iraq”
“We got him!” was the brief, joyous message, early on Sunday, dec.14 from Paul Bremer, president Bush’s, personal delegate in Iraq. With such a quick message to the world, the roadmap was cleared for George W Bush to be recognized as Man of the year 2003. But that political triumph, that could mean the reelection for the controversial Republican leader, has claimed a political toll all over the global world. More
Tony Blair's
45 minutes to doomsday
Tony
Blair had said, at the height of his unncesary servitude to George
Bush, that Saddam Hussein was in the capacity of launching in
45 minutes a nuclear attack to any European country. Thank God,
he could not. Blair was wrong. Given the weakness and lack of
combat capacity of Sadam's army it has been demonstrarted that
Tony Blair's doomsday prediction in front of the British Parliament
was absolutely wrong. More
Revelations
of Bush's blitz
The
successful Blitzkrieg launched by Washington against Iraq, has
proved that Bush was wrong, and the UN Security council was, at
least theorically, right. More
A
press casualty of war

U.S.
might use nukes in Iraq
While
it seems there is not yet a confirmed "smoking gun"
on the issue of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (wmd), rumors
and speculations come and go, the last one being the possibility
of U.S. using nuclear bombs against underground bunkers allegedly
hiding those weapons. More
The
return of Dr. Strangelove?

Bolivia's
daring democratic recovery
Bolivia's
president Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada -Goni as he is popularly known-
is implementing an imaginative policy to face such cronic social
problems as poverty and the emergence of potential narco-terrorism.
Dialogue instead of bullets, economic development instead of civil
war; a US Dollar based economy instead of the weak, fickle inflation-risky
Bolivian peso, are some initial basic measures as he starts his
second constitutional period of five years. More
Cheney
the chaperone
Vice
Dick Cheney commands a war to destroy Saddam. It was not much
of a surprise that vicepresident Cheney emerged from one of his
misterious hideways calling the Nation for a war against Saddam
Husseins' Iraq.
Why
should it be? From the beginning of the current Administration,
pundits of liberal mainstream media, said that Cheney was positioned
as Vicepresident by suggestion of former President Bush, the father.
It was so, in order to chaperone his son thru the proper paths
inside the maze of global Geopolitics. More
USA
between war and peace
To
attack Iraq. Or not to attack.That is the question. It is the
hamletian uncertainty in President Bush's feeble conception of
global politics in the new world disorder he inherited from his
father via the Democrat Clinton Administration.
The United States is involved today in a frenzy debate, between
war and peace. War with Irak. And peace with itself.

2001
Literary Nobel Prize has chilling view of Islam
If religion

fanatic. He also says that oil money of the 70s gave the illusion
that power had come to the Islamic religion.

Globalism
vs Jihad
A
few weeks after the superpower unleashed its military might hunting
only one man, Ossama Bin Laden remains as the mastermind of Global
Terrorism even if, ironically, it is obvious that now he is seeking
an apocalyptical martyrdorm.
The problem is a patetic example of the new world disorder.

Saddam
Hussein,
from Bush to Bush
Finally,
George W. Bush swore as President of the United States and virtual
leader of globalization in the new world disorder.
Curiously
enough, the current President Bush confronts the same problem
that his father left in 1992, the unfinished war against Iraq's
leader Saddam Hussein.

A
DECADE TO CHANGE A CENTURY
We
left the past Century without making a serious study of the last
decade, the nineties, a decade of change. Where all the Twentith
century 's events radically changed, like a tortilla flip-flop
in a frying pan. In the decade of the '90s, almost every important
that was done in the preceeding ninety years of this Century has
been changed reformed or simplified... or just erased from the
face of the map.

wrong.
He
also asserted: We won the Cold War. Wrong again.
Then,
enthusiastically proclaimed: We are creating a New World Order!
Dead wrong.
