Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently created an uproar when he made a request to visit Ground Zero. He then expressed disbelief at the American public  s reaction when he was denied access to the site. No one in America will ever truly know Ahmadinejad s sincerity, but there is no denying his media savvy. If America is supposed to be a truly free country, then why should he not be allowed to go to Ground Zero? Mr. Ahmadinejad has definitely stirred the pot by questioning the validity of the Jewish Holocaust and quest for a nuclear Iran. But one of the tenants of a free society |

 While watching President Bush make a speech during his surprise visit to Iraq last week, I thought to myself, America will never leave Iraq. One of the many conspiracy theories about the war in Iraq is that the primary reason for the American invasion was to seize Iraq s oil reserves and keep America one step ahead of the Chinese in the global scramble to secure energy resources. So I decided to do some research and came up with three very concrete reasons why in spite of the noise the Democratic Party is trying to raise, the United States will not be leaving Iraq anytime soon |

THE PRIVATIZATION OF WAR
By Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.
02-06-07  Tribune Media Services
They guard U.S. officials. They patrol the Green Zone, the U.S. headquarters in Iraq. They supply the food, the oil, clean the barracks and fix the machines. They arent U.S. soldiers they are private contractors. The Bush administration has privatized war. The second biggest army in Iraq consists of armed security forces supplied by private contractors.

End of His Rope. This is the macabre headline that the New York Daily News chose to use in reporting the execution of Saddam Hussein. But I wonder, is it Saddam Hussein who is at the end of his rope or is it G.W. Bush America spent over 500 billion dollars to kill Saddam. However, the Butcher of Baghdad lionized himself as a martyr for the Arab world with his defiant refusal to be cloaked in the final moment of his life. Saddam claimed not to be afraid to die and proved his point by defiantly dying with dignity and in control. To me, Saddam looked at peace with himself. He knew what the rest of the world knows now that in his worst moment, Saddam never did to Iraq what Bush has done to that country.

 I have always been fascinated by Russia. It is a very complex country filled with intrigue and mystery with a tremendous literary history. Russia also has a rich history of political assassinations to which it has added one more.
 The assignation of Alexander Litvinenko, the former KGB agent who defected to Britain, was a very public message to the world what I would like to call jail house kite. This public violent message says, We are back and dont mess with us. Full stop. End of story. The British investigation is a parliamentary saving face measure. The world knows what happened, and Russia doesnt give a shit. Check Mate.
Mr. Litvinenko lived the last years of his life as a very public critic of President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Government. So he had to die in a very public, slow, and gruesome way. The insides of his body rotted away from radiation poisoning. Just look at the pictures of what he was to what he became. From Russia with Love, a personal nuclear |
