"The provisional centre of gravity of the Al Qaeda lies in non-state actors in Pakistan and the Arabian Gulf. It is going to be a long bloody war for the US to alter this particular strategic situation."

"These acts cannot simply be attributed to individuals or "rogue groups". There exists a definite fascist fringe at the margin of Israel's political society. Its ideology is religious-nationalist, and its spiritual leaders are mostly "Rabbis", who formulate its world view and the practical application. These Jewish idolaters do not work in secret. On the contrary, they offer their wares on the open market."

"Standing three hours outside the Marriott, hundreds witnessed the unfolding tragedy. Fire was gradually spreading. We stood saved and one removed from the tragedy of those who were killed, burnt and injured. But we were not ok. Collectively, we are not ok. We cannot be until the prevailing acute internal security crisis begins to recede."

"...there is a ray of hope that could rescue Canada even from another Conservative minority government; and that is for the Liberals and NDP to form a coalition. In the last Parliament, the seats held by both opposition parties totaled far more than those held by the Conservatives."

"In this election season, these are some of the questions voters must ask on the issue of education."

"The rational and financially self-interested course of action for the corporate executive and investor is to throw out the cowboys and the buccaneers, and replace them with responsible and honorable players in international finance. It is a solution that has the distinct advantage of being radical, sudden and unequivocal. And it can be accomplished on November 4."

"McCain apparently is hoping that voters will forget he was a major ultra-conservative part of that record -- he voted for Bush policies 90% of the time, for example, including approval of torture as state policy. But that chameleon trick seems to fool a good many voters. Plus, he added the younger, attractive Sarah Palin to the ticket and she joined him in the charade about "reform" and "change," saying she and McCain "will shake things up in Washington." But she's silent about the extreme, rightwing nature of the "change" she has in mind."
