CIVIC Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict-In Memory, Marla!

"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world."
Daniel Webster (1782-1852), US Senator - 1851

The public in general will tolerate the soft dictatorship as its discretionary powers will mainly be felt by those few who challenge it.

The Smoking Gun
By Mike Whitney
By now, we should realize that the Bush administration has no plan to govern Iraq nor do they care a whit about the suffering of the Iraqi people. The only thing the matters is the extraction of petroleum from Iraqi oil-fields and its unobstructed transfer to the market. The rest is rubbish. “We don’t do body counts”, boasted General Tommy Franks.

Palestinians Face Financial Collapse

International envoy James Wolfensohn told Middle East mediators that the Palestinian Authority faces financial collapse within two weeks because of Israel's decision to cut off tax transfers after Hamas's election win. Even if the Palestinian Authority survives the coming month with emergency funding, Wolfensohn said that "violence and chaos" would break out unless a long-term funding plan is developed for when a government led by the Islamic militant group is in place.
