Online Journal Contributing Writer Jul 17, 2006, 01:13 We are all part of an American society that continues to silently watch as our government pursues a foreign policy that threatens the very future of our democracy.
A large segment of this society is currently in a state of conditioned silence. It watches as America is undergoing radical changes that are transforming this nation into an instrument of world domination with the objective of controlling this planet's energy resources. The overriding question is: what will bring this society out of this state of conditioned silence -- does it have the will or any desire to say, "Enough is enough, we will accept no more?" Or have the American people completely lost their will to dissent? |

AFP Tue Jul 18, 2006 KUFA, Iraq - More than 50 people were killed and dozens of others wounded as a car bomb blew up in the centre of
Iraq's Shiite shrine city of Kufa, targeting day labourers, a security source said. The blast was the third attack with a heavy death toll in as many days in Iraq, with all of them apparently motivated by sectarian divisions. At least 54 people were killed and 90 wounded, said a security source close to the governor of Najaf, south of the capital, warning that the death toll could still climb. |
Taipei
AFP Jul 17, 2006 Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian on Monday renewed his warning of China's growing military threat, saying it is now targeting the island with 820 missiles. Chen, during a meeting with a group of Japanese scholars attending a forum in Taipei, said he had expected China's peaceful rise and the development of democracy there.
"However, China military spending has increased at a double-digit rate since the Tiananmen event 17 years ago. This is by no means a way leading to peace," Chen said. |
Taipei
AFP Jul 17, 2006 The United States has agreed to sell Taiwan 66 advanced fighter jets to counter China's continued arms build-up, it was reported Monday. A Taiwanese delegation proposed the procurement of the fleet of F-16C/D fighters during an annual military meeting with Washington early this month, the China Times said.
