 Accompanying its verbal escalations over the Iranian nuclear project, Israel ventured on an extraordinary air force exercise in early June. According to the New York Times, this included more than 100 F-15 and F-16 fighter jets, which flew west 900 miles and returned—the same distance that would be required for an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz.
Israelis like to claim that they will be the main victim of Iranian nuclear development. They hark back to the scuds of Saddam Hussein, which fell on Tel Aviv in the first Gulf War when they had no direct part in the conflict. So too, this time—Israelis say—they will be in the crosshairs, and this justifies pre-emptive action.

 Uighur man
Parhat is an ethnic Uighur, part of a Muslim minority from western China. Like the 16 other Uighurs who remain in military detention at Guantanamo, Parhat claims that he was never a combatant and that he ended up in US custody by mistake. Parhat says that he was living with a group of other Uighurs in Afghanistan when the 2001 war started, that his group was led across the border to Pakistan, and that the Pakistanis sold them to the United States for a bounty.

 Part One: ‘The Greatest Demonstration of the Historical Failure of the Capitalist Model’
“If the government cannot lower the cost of living it simply has to leave. If the police and UN troops want to shoot at us, that's OK, because in the end, if we are not killed by bullets, we'll die of hunger.” - A demonstrator in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Part Two: Capitalism, Agribusiness, and the Food Sovereignty Alternative
"Nowhere in the world, in no act of genocide, in no war, are so many people killed per minute, per hour and per day as those who are killed by hunger and poverty on our planet." - Fidel Castro, 1998

 The media has been bursting with headlines about Tibet in recent months. There were anti-Chinese riots in the capitol city of Lhasa in March. Then pro-Tibet/anti-China demonstrations faced off with Olympic torch processions in a number of countries. Meanwhile, U.S. politicians warmly welcomed the visiting Dalai Lama, exiled god-king of Tibet. Anyone leery of anti-communist China-bashing has to wonder who’s on the right side in all this furor.
It’s difficult to dig out the hard facts. Little is known of the views of Tibetan workers and peasants. Most information comes from two opposing sets of reportage. One is the Dalai Lama’s embittered, anti-communist Tibetan exile movement, which organizes and propagandizes against the People’s Republic of China and is funded by the U.S. government.
