The UK government's position on top-up fees is a straightforward plank in the neoliberal platform that was first laid out by Reagan and Thatcher in the 1980s, gathered steam for a while, and has recently run into quite a few setbacks (in Seattle, Genoa, Porto Alegre, Cancun, and Baghdad). It is not a "normal" domestic dispute within the UK, and it doesn't make much sense to act as if it is; it's part of a worldwide trend to privatize public resources, and to destroy the legitimacy of the liberal political consensus of the 1950s/1960s/1970s.

Five years ago, only a very few die-hards would have crossed a street to spit on G.W. Bush. How times have changed! These days, he is hated and feared by billions of people all over the planet.

US Soldiers in Iraq
President Bush is trying to convince the world that those who have been to Iraq realize that situation is not as bad as 'media' portrays it to be. Growing evidence of low morale and lack of committment to the Iraqi invasion, among the americans actually spending time in iraq, the US soldiers, will help build pressure against the occupation. However, history cautions us against looking for a quick resolution.

Is it about to be the Christmas again?
There is no such thing like justice or Law in this World in the end. Anyone saying else would be telling a lie. There are only abusers and used until you are powerful enough to protect yourself. Mr Professor, You would not mind telling them, why there should be Law and order?

The past year has been a momentous one in world affairs. In the normal rhythm, the pattern was set in September, a month marked by several important and closely related events. The most powerful state in history announced a new National Security Strategy asserting that it will maintain global hegemony permanently: any challenge will be blocked by force, the dimension in which the US reigns supreme. At the same time, the war drums began to beat to mobilize the population for an invasion of Iraq, which would be "the first test [of the doctrine], not the last," the New York Times observed after the invasion, "the petri dish in which this experiment in pre-emptive policy grew." And the campaign opened for the mid-term congressional elections, which would determine whether the administration would be able to carry forward its radical international and domestic agenda.

Is Blair a war criminal ?
The germans and I am a german were responsible for two world wars: destroing the lives of more than 90 000 000 people throughout Eurasia and Afrika. Almost every family in germany lost one relative throughout war and we caused that almost every family in Europe lost someone by war. We learned something about it. That war is a crime, especially a war on suspection or a preemtive war.
