Counting The Dead : MOSUL - Fifteen people were killed in separate incidents over the past 24 hours. BAGHDAD - A suicide bomber killed six people and wounded 14. BAGHDAD - A mortar bomb exploded, killing a traffic policeman. ISKANDARIYA - Two civilians were killed as gunmen shot at their car.
Coffins And Empire :  This war cannot be won by America. Those pathetic Iraqis just will not stand and fight toe to toe. For some strange reason, the Iraqis are fighting to win, not to meet American wishes and expectations. Every day that Americans are in Iraq fighting the insurgency is another day that George Bush is losing ground.
5 More GIs Killed in Iraq, 43 Dead in 10 Days

Five U.S. soldiers were killed when insurgents attacked their patrol in a northern Iraqi city, and a car bomb targeting a joint U.S.-Iraqi patrol in Baghdad killed seven people, including one U.S. soldier, the military said Wednesday.

This brings to 43 the number of US servicemembers who have been killed in Iraq in the last 10 days.

With the death rate continuing daily, August could become one of the deadliest months yet for the US in Iraq.

Questions marks over Annan, Boutros-Ghali: LIKE any political institution the UN has never been perfect, but for 60 years its most senior officials have been respected for their good intentions and personal integrity.
Not any more. The release of the third interim report of the Volcker commission's inquiry into the $US64billion oil-for-food scandal shows that when it comes to graft and corruption, the UN's top brass can succumb just as readily as anyone else.

There is now more terror, not less; the Middle East is less stable, not more stable; and we are not going to end up with a democracy in Iraq. We're going to end up instead with a theocracy aligned with Iran, a civil war or another authoritarian government - or the entire series of bad outcomes, one after another.
Vermin and Souvenirs: How to justify a nuclear attack  Mickey Z.. ICH
Because Japan chose to invade several colonial outposts of the West, the war in the Pacific laid bare the inherent racism of the colonial structure. In the United States and Britain, the Japanese were more hated than the Germans. The race card was played to the hilt through a variety of Allied propaganda methods. Spurred on by a growing Chinese lobby and vocal American trade protectionists wary of inexpensive Japanese goods, the campaign would eventually help cajole the American public into a pro-war, anti-Japan position. By 1938, as historian Michael C.C. Adams writes, polls showed more Americans favored military aid to China than to Britain or France. Even more so than the Third Reich, Japan was the U.S. villain of choice.
