By Patrick Martin
www.countercurrents.org/martin250808.htm
The selection of Senator Joseph Biden as the vice-presidential candidate of the Democratic Party underscores the fraudulent character of the Democratic primary campaign and the undemocratic character of the entire two-party electoral system. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, the supposed protagonist of “change,” has picked as his running-mate a fixture of the Washington establishment, a six-term US senator who is a proven defender of American imperialism and the interests of big business

The U.S.-controlled North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has lost its purpose to continue as a defence alliance. However, its aggressive expansion is endangering world peace and the survival of the planet

By Stephen Lendman

Russia is back, proud and reassertive, and not about to roll over for America. Especially in Eurasia. For Washington, it’s back to the future, the new Cold War, and reinventing the Evil Empire, but this time for greater stakes and with much larger threats to world peace

By Dr Moeed Pirzada
www.countercurrents.org/pirzada250808.htm
Tiny Georgia’s failed attempt to regain the lost South Ossetia and the Russian attack on Georgia appears a rather insignificant, self-contained conflict in the Caucasus yet this little understood development may mark the end of the America’s uni-polar moment. Especially if you remember that this came within four weeks of a “double veto”, in the United Nations, by Russia and China against the sanctions being proposed by the US and UK against the regime in Zimbabwe

An Olympic Triumph For China
By Kent Ewing
www.countercurrents.org/ewing250808.htm
As the blaze of fireworks, extraordinary athletic achievements and controversies fade into memory, it is important to give Beijing its due – its staging of the Summer Olympics was a stunning success. Why, then, the carping about the Games in the Western media? Is it sour grapes over China’s increasing international clout?
Evolving Indian Civilizational Setting:
Pluralism vs. Fundamentalism
By Purti Marwaha
www.countercurrents.org/marwaha250808.htm
We, the Indians, should break the religious barriers and work for a changing nation, where the people have comfortable amenities to live and contribute in the growth of the nation state, which while competing with the world at large, ensure the self sustenance of the nation state
Need For Equitable Representation Of
Minorities In The Administration Of
Indian Government
By Mirza A. Beg
www.countercurrents.org/beg250808.htm
If the government does not succeed soon in designing programs similar in spirit as the “Affirmative action” in USA, I am afraid the reservations, a much less desirable remedy until a reasonable approximation to parity is achieved will be needed by default. By limiting reservations to administration of justice, police, army and low level bureaucracy will leave the rest of the burgeoning private enterprise open to meritocracy
