Somalia – Al Qaeda’s New Base – America’s Next War? Somalia has long been the world’s centre of anarchy and Mogadishu the capital of mayhem. Awash with weapons for 16 years, it has existed without a central government and has been plagued by civil war between competing clan and sub-clans, warlords and jihadists.
In the medium to long-term, the invasion by Ethiopian forces looks set not to quell this phenomenon, but to eventually exacerbate it. There is a real danger that it will provide the incubus for the flourishing of al-Qaeda’s first solid base in Africa. |

Najaf - now forwards towards an Iraqi revolution! American and British flags burned and were trampled under foot by hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in Najaf last weekend. A crossroads has been reached from which this could be the spring board to a genuine revoutionary struggle against the US occupation and sectarianism. More of these actions are the only chance for Iraq to remain united and to drive out the occupiers as soon as possible. |

Exchange Deal for U.S. and Australia? This is a suggestion that Australians might like to consider. Perhaps it might be possible to do an exchange deal with the US. The US will get Australian Prime Minister John Howard and Australia will get Guantanamo detainee David Hicks in return. Australians will no doubt consider this a good deal. |

Addictions Anonymous, 38: Problems with Emotional Pain and Service to Others There are clinics for treating physical pain all over the United States, but emotional distress, one of the chief obstacles in the path to a normal existence, is often neglected or treated inappropriately. Everyone, of course, experiences emotional pain at one time or another. Some problems are temporary and specific to a situation, some are chronic and permanent parts of a person’s life. |

The Sisyphean Surge – Petraeus and the making a Greek Tragedy They say that whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. It is also said that madness can be defined by doing the same thing again and again and getting the same wrong result, without ever changing. Sisyphus was one such poor soul in question. Condemned by the Gods to roll a rock up and hill and watch it fall down again, and then continue to repeat the hopeless process for the rest of eternity. His crime had been to try to cheat the Gods, by cheating death and becoming one of them. Likewise the US is now condemned for trying to cheat defeat in Iraq, to repeating the same old mad policies over and over again. If once there was method in the madness, there is now madness in the method. This dysfunctional behaviour can only finally result in some unspeakable abomination. |
