The US’s War In Darfur
By Keith Harmon Snow

www.countercurrents.org/snow231107.htm

There is growing dissent within the “Save Darfur” movement as more supporters question its motivations and the Jewish-Israeli link. “Save Darfur” leaders have been replaced after complaints surfaced about expenditures of funds. Many rebel leaders reportedly receive tens of thousands of dollars monthly, and rebels emboldened by the “Save Darfur” movement commit crimes with impunity. There is a growing demand to probe the accounts of “Save Darfur” to find out how the tens of millions collected are being spent due to allegations of arms-deals and bribery—rebel leaders provided with five-star hotel accommodations, prostitutes and sex parties

he US may be the most militarily powerful and technologically advanced country in the world but even a roaring giant can be stopped in its tracks when he’s hit where it hurts the most in his pocketbook and especially when that pocketbook is also his Achilles’ heel

The Cancer Of Growth
By Gustavo Esteva

www.countercurrents.org/esteva231107.htm

It is time to stop the dominant insanity. Some things need to grow, and others need to contract. Let our capacity to sustain ourselves and our vital autonomy grow. Let our expressions and spaces for exercising liberty and initiative grow. Let the opportunities for a good life multiply, according to the way in which each individual and culture defines that good life. And, to make that possible, let us reduce the weight of a formal economy that oppresses us and wears us down, through everything that contradicts a good life for everyone or destroys nature

Executions Not Leading To Reconciliation
By Ali al-Fadhily

www.countercurrents.org/fadhily231107.htm

The executions of former regime officials are creating greater division, rather than reconciliation, among Iraqis. Special courts formed by the American occupation authorities in Iraq are issuing death sentences — like that carried out on former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, on 30 December 2006 — on what many Iraqis are interpreting as a political basis

Nukes’ Seventh Decade
By David Swanson

www.countercurrents.org/swanson231107.htm

Jonathan Schell’s latest book “The Seventh Decade” places our current situation in the context of the past 62 years of the nuclear age, or the past 68 years as Schell might prefer to date it. It was 68 years ago that scientists concluded a nuclear bomb was possible.Schell does place some hope, as do I, in the possibility that a movement to end global warming will grow to include a movement to eliminate nuclear weapons. The two movements would seem to be perfect allies, as it would be quite a shame to save the world from one of the two dangers we face and lose it to the other

The questions that need to be raised by all who care for human rights is this: How long can this denial of justice continue? How much more time is needed for the world community to sit quietly and watch, and even supply arms under-hand for such an immoral act to continue?

“3'D’ In Judiciary “
By Amit Chamaria

www.countercurrents.org/chamaria231107.htm

Apart from other anomalies, the word ‘delay’ has become part and parcel of the Indian judicial system.A close scrutiny of the above data that the 3 ‘ D’ are restricted to that segments of the society who are socially backward in all dimensions of the life and at the bottom line of the social hierarchy of the Varna system. And certainly, Dalits and Adivasi prominently
fall in this category
