Mumbai Massacres as the Defeat of Counter-terrorism
By Gilad Atzmon
Terror is a message written on the wall but for some reason most Westerners fail to read it. Our enthusiasm to bring Coca-Cola to the Muslim world must be curbed immediately. We should keep our liberal democratic fantasy to ourselves, especially now when it had been proven as a faulty concept.

Obama’s First Problem is US War Crimes
The president-elect has to take a stand on Bush’s dark legacy
By Andrew Sullivan
There is, in the end, a simple and sobering truth: these people have to be brought to justice if the rule of law is to survive in America. In his constitutional soul, Obama knows this.

George W. Bush Belongs in Prison
By Joel S. Hirschhorn
To ensure that no future president behaves like George W. Bush we must punish him. Not merely through the words of historians, but through the physical punishment that he has inflicted on so many millions of people. In previous eras citizens would have demanded “off with his head.” Now we must demand “lock him up.” How poetic for a pro-torture ex-president.

Playing Catch-Up with Barack Obama
By Simon Floth
A mystery humbles the Clintons, conquers big media, trumps racism, leaves a bifucated mess of the GOP, and casually takes the Whitehouse. His two-phase strategy was simple: tantalise liberals with a prospect of real change and play centrist to the rest. It was executed to perfection and everyone is left scratching their heads.

We Will Not Jump Ship
By Sheila Samples
Millions of us who voted for Obama are weary of fighting our way through the tangles of an Orwellian world. We yearn to live in a Wellstonian world, one where “…politics is not about observations or predictions. Politics is what we create by what we do, what we hope for, and what we dare to imagine.”

Every Trick in the Book
By Mike Whitney
The creation of equity bubbles is just a clever means of social engineering, just like regressive taxation. It separates the wheat from the chaff, exacerbating dormant animosities between the classes.

The Worst Is Yet To Come
Anonymous Banker Weighs In On The Coming Credit Card Debacle
By Joe Nocera
A few weeks ago, I published an e-mail message sent to me from an executive who works in the banking industry – and had become disgusted by what he sees all around him. This weekend, that same banker sent me another e-mail message, which he has also agree to let me publish. It’s another wake-up call. Too bad nobody is listening.
