Quote of the Day
"If you leave it to the president and Congress, history tells us nothing will change," says the Chicago Democrat, who served three terms in the House of Representatives before becoming governor. (The governor wants Illinois to be first state to legally import prescription drugs from Canada, a precedent that could unlock the borders to a flood of cheaper drugs).

Indonesia Faces a "Trigger of Revolution"
With 42 million of Indonesia's estimated 140 million workers now unemployed, labor relations are growing increasingly tense and sometimes volatile. The world's fourth-largest country already has its headaches, with barely a trickle of foreign investment coming in, and dozens of militants linked to al Qaeda on trial for bombings in Bali and Jakarta. All this makes for a potent cocktail in a deeply troubled nation led by a weak President into an election year, when unrest would have been expected even under the best of circumstances.

How the Peace Movement Has Made a Difference in the World Despite Being Marginalized by the US Press
The peace movement and world wide activist community has made a difference, at least to the over 80 million world wide who organized against war, if to no one else at all.
Our combined voices have been heard around the world by many nations and widely separate and diverse cultures. We have all raised our voices against war in a chorus of many languages and tongues. We have cried out in one unified voice against the governments massing the greed filled, profit driven war machine of corporate enrichment.
While the US and selected allies like Great Britain beat the drums of war and terror, we sang a louder song of peace and defiance of the so-called rightness of the recent wars and conflicts. While they set about to keep the people scared with the imminent danger of an attack from a nation without the capabilities, we tried to bring the soothing calm of rational thought and examination of all the facts.

Hope Against Hope
I don't know how many times I've seen articles about Wesley Clark making a formidable opponent for George Bush. And I agree, he likely would, but so what?
I too am sick of the sound of Bush's voice. My radio dial is turned five words into any sound clip from this dangerous half-wit with a speech impediment, but what can be gained by replacing him with Clark?
For people in high positions, criticizing Bush now on Iraq is cheap talk. The idiotic, destructive war is done. Americans must live with its consequences and responsibilities no matter who is President. A decent alternative to Bush demands more than a few cheap words of criticism.
You might think the people writing these pieces see Clark as the embodiment of America's silly myths about citizen-soldiers, a kind of television-age Cincinnatus, who could defeat one of the most lamentable, wrong-headed President in American history.

Love American- Style
Can the Brits feel the love yet? Exporting democracy, it turns out, means more than just showing unfortunate non-westerners the joys of having someone else write a decent constitution for them. We have now advanced to the point where we can tell even the land of the Magna Carta just where they went wrong. Apparently, they are so inept at running their own country that George Bush and his coterie of war criminals need to tell them just how to tailor democracy to American tastes.
The exported version, of course, is frighteningly like the domestic one. Free speech, first of all, is overrated, and is easily abused by misfits, peaceniks, trade unionists and other pesky troublemakers. Might we suggest a few important, um, improvements to make the whole thing run a little more smoothly? Really just a nip here and a tuck there. There you go-a Rolling Exclusion Zone would be nice. That way no one can ever get anywhere near a visiting head of state, even if he dragged your country into war and your people are plenty pissed off about it.

Along With Dean, Clark Is On The Ticket
Dean dodged the draft.
At least, you could say he was honest about it.
The revelation that, at the age of 21, Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean in the late ‘60s, purposely received a medical deferment for his back in 1970, should surprise few voters who shared the same sympathies a growing of Americans had about avoiding the conflict in Vietnam . The fact that Dean, possibly the Democratic frontrunner, would leave himself vulnerable for not serving is a given. That’s why the running-mate would have to be a candidate of impeccable military experience, enough to negate war-president motif already being developed for President Bush by RNC operatives. Two candidates currently fit the description, Senator John Kerry and General Wesley Clark. Given that John Kerry has run a lackluster campaign thus far, there is only one man is left on the shortlist.Yes.
Whether you like it or not (as President or Vice President), Clark is on the ticket.
In this bizarre Democratic nomination derby with nine candidates, General Wesley Clark has played the “dark horse” candidate in the race. Symbolically a man to reckon with, he has no political experience to speak of. No one really knows what he will say or how he will say it. In terms of foreign policy, the General is an astute expect of tactical knowledge and analysis (in keeping with his military record). On economic policy, Clark is undoubtedly a political novice (and Dean’s strength).But, in terms of having his positions change from a liberal to a more centrist tone after the nomination process, General Clark is the practical choice because of his lack of political experience. A record can become a double-edged sword against an incumbent with dissimilar views.
