Saturday, November 29, 2008Book Review - Hamas vs. Fatah A very one dimensional view of the Hamas-Fatah conflict, generally taken completely out of context.
Saturday, December 13, 2008Robert Kagan's Mythology of U.S. Exceptionalism Robert Kagan's arguments are superficially coherent, but the underlying thesis for them is highly faulted.
Friday, February 10, 2023Voices of Palestinian women Two new books on Palestine present a strong feminist viewpoint on current events concerning Palestine. They construct a larger view, drawing on global events and intersecting with other interests such as feminism and indigenous cultures.
Monday, November 30, 2009Imperial Inertia All current global problems are related - the economy, wars, the environment - all part of the same thing.
Friday, December 18, 2009Democracy - Part I - "people power" usurped by elites. A look at the business values - globalization, free trade, corporations and capitalism - that define the workings of our democracy today.
Wednesday, June 15, 2022Canada - the not so peaceable kingdom Canada has long upheld its mantra as being a 'peacekeeping' nation, a peaceable kingdom. Yves Engler's recent book brings together a record of Canada's support for foreign and domestic militarism that denies this position.
Friday, April 29, 2011Book Review: After Empire - Birth of a Multipolar World The empire will not acquiesce to its downfall as recent coercive events in the Middle East demonstrate. This work places the decline of empire within its proper global context - a mixture of finances, military over-reach, and the rise of other ideas and systems.
Saturday, February 7, 2015Canada leaps into the empire of chaos Canada no longer pretends to be a "peacekeeping" kind of country. Under the Harper neoConservatives, Canada has overtly sided with the U.S. and its imperial ambitions. More than that, it tries to front run many of the imperial ideas, trying to demonstrate, at least domestically, that Harper is one of the 'tough guys' on the block.
Wednesday, September 8, 2010A not so new U.S. public policy The collection of essays that comprise "Toward A New Public Policy" could be summarized in four words: arrogance, ignorance, image, fail. This policy is all about changing image and not much about changing actions.
Sunday, February 20, 2011Forked tongue The U.S. carries on its tradition of speaking conciliatory words while acting simply in its own imperial interests.
Thursday, May 21, 2009The Hebrew Republic - Book Review An interesting philosophical read concerning the changes necessary to create a Hebrew, secular, Jewish state - highly improbable with the turn of current events.
Thursday, May 5, 2011Canada's election - hard right turn On May 02, 2011, Canadians elected a new Conservative government majority, allowing the trend to the right to increase significantly. Generally Canada will follow the U.S. line on the environment and terror, a position that is not really far from Canada's long term traditional foreign policy in many regards.
Sunday, February 13, 2022Canada, Truckers, and Freedom. A Canadian reaction to the "Freedom Convoy" and its inherent faults as it passes its third weekend in Ottawa.
Tuesday, May 13, 2008Book Review - Common Wealth - Jeffery Sachs A great topic, but without any consideration of the Washington consensus institutes (WTO, IMF, World Bank) and the U.S. military, it fails in its arguments.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008Book Review - Palestine Inside Out - Saree Makdisi Another valuable addition to the growing library on the Palestinian occupation and ethnic cleansing.
Saturday, July 24, 2021Right of conquest - a racist doctrine The rhetorical propaganda of the "right of conquest" has never been valid.
Wednesday, December 30, 2009The Far Enemy - Why Jihad Went Global - Book Review A revised examination of the jihadi movements and its many fractious elements.
Friday, May 21, 2021Apartheid - a global phenomenon A brief outline of Israel's apartheid policies - its long history and its ongoing violence over the land.
Sunday, January 17, 2010Israel and Palestine - Book Review One of the more strongly expressed writings from the group of Israeli revisionist historians.
Sunday, May 10, 2009Food shortages and science An argument about global "failing states" fails to accurately make its case about civilization.
