Benazir Bhutto: A Victim Of American Meddling –
By Ahmed Quraishi We have warned about this: Blatant U.S. support for Mrs. Bhutto is an open invitation for anti-U.S. terrorists to kill her. She knew this but played along. Despite the image of a daring democratic warrior, she never would have returned to Pakistan if not for Washington’s nudge. Just this week, she openly supported American accusations against Pakistan about 'wasting' $ 5 billion in U.S. aid, allegations that drew unusually strong rebuke from her own country. With her death, Washington’s plans for regime-change in Pakistan lie in complete tatters from Larry B Activists in Vermont town want Bush, Cheney subject to arrest Police abandoned security posts before Bhutto assassination No autopsy performed on body; docs say bullet wounds not found Bhutto sent Blitzer security e–mail MORE Top Stories TOP 10 News Headlines WORLD NEWS Fighters deny Bhutto

Within modern capitalism there is no solution to the problem of oil depletion. Oil energy cannot be replaced with the equivalent amount of "alternative" energy in the required time, so the consequences of oil depletion will be disastrous. Those disastrous consequences are beyond the range of the normal or acceptable issues of political debate. No political contender can win votes by saying that the world is coming to an end. The "end" may be real, but there is no political mechanism to deal with it in the over–crowded and overly complex modern state Air Force to fly on synthetic fuel?
