Hezbollah
Amal Saad-Ghorayeb
Hezbollah, party of God in Arabic, is a major component of Lebanon’s political and social life. The party, led by Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, represents the historically underrepresented Shia, the country’s largest group. Lebanon has a complex sectarian-based political structure, a legacy of French colonialism. Each of the country’s 18 religious sects is allocated seats in […]
Turkey, Armenians, & Kurds
Roni Margulies
When Orhan Pamuk, Turkey’s Nobel Prize winner for literature, said that more than one million Armenians and 30,000 Kurds had been killed in his country, he was not only publicly vilified but also prosecuted by the government. And he’s not the only one who has gotten into trouble for speaking out. Breaking the taboo and […]
Operation Iraqi Freedom
Mundher al Adhami
It seems like so many years ago. And it was. Shock and awe. The march on Baghdad; the conquest of Iraq; the embedded corporate reporters cheerleading the victory. Originally the invasion was called Operation Iraqi Liberation until someone noticed that the acronym spells something we’d rather not mention. So it was changed to Operation Iraqi […]
The Athletic-Industrial Complex
Dave Zirin
Sports play a central role in many societies, perhaps nowhere more so than in the United States. From Michael Vick to T. O., to Barry Bonds and A-Rod, athletes are under the microscope. They are multi-millionaire gladiators. Their every dropped ball, at-bat, comment, and gesture are grist for the sports talk mill. There are hours […]
Double Standards: U.S. Middle East Policy
Rami Khouri
The dictionary defines a double standard as a rule or principle applied more strictly to some than to others. Double standards are seen as unjust because they violate fairness, that everyone is equal before the law. When this basic principle is violated, it creates anger and resentment. U.S. policy in the Middle East has long […]
Al-Qa’ida
Abdel Bari Atwan
Al-Qa’ida, the base in Arabic, first emerged in an embryonic form in 1988. Its core consisted of the Arab mujahedeen fighters who went to Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. It was established and led by the Saudi, Osama bin Laden. The mujahedeen gave their “bayat” (oath of allegiance) to bin Laden, the “emir” or leader. […]
Kissinger & the Coup in Chile
Peter Kornbluh
The 1973 U.S.-directed coup overthrowing the democratically-elected government of Salvador Allende in Chile is one of the pivotal moments in 20th century Latin American history. The coup was ordered by Richard Nixon and implemented by Nobel Peace Prize-winner Henry Kissinger. After Allende’s election in 1970, Kissinger infamously demonstrated his dedication to democracy when he said, […]
Education: The Shame of the Nation
Jonathan Kozol
Almost four years ago, and with much fanfare, President Bush signed the “No Child Left Behind” law. It placed sweeping new requirements on schools, teachers and students for greater accountability and improved performance on standardized tests. But the new mandates did not come with enough new money. And the narrow focus on testing for a […]
Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope
Tariq Ali
Simon Bolivar, the great liberator of South America, prophetically said, “In the name of freedom, the United States of North America seem to have been destined by providence to plague America with miseries.” And so it has been. From the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 to the present the U.S. has routinely intervened in the internal […]
American Fascists: The Radical Christian Right
Chris Hedges
Over the last several decades there has been a growth in fascist ayatollahs and mullahs in the United States. Pat Robertson called for the U.S. to take out Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. He’s a “terrific danger” whose country, says Reverend Pat, is “a launching pad for communist infiltration and Islamic extremism.” Imagine that. Robertson suffered […]
Media Reform
Bill Moyers
A vibrant media is the oxygen of a living democracy. When the media are dominated by a handful of big corporations, citizens of a democracy are on a respirator gasping for air. James Madison, founding father, understood this well when he said, ” A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, […]
From Empire to Earth Community
David Korten
From the beginning of the United States the prevailing ethic was not to accommodate but to dominate. Indians were called “merciless savages” in the Declaration of Independence. They would be wiped out in great numbers and their culture destroyed. Nature was seen as wild and warranted conquest. Patterns of overconsumption and environmental degradation continue today. […]
