This generation will determine whether the independence won because of the sacrifice of the men and women of 1916 will have been but an interlude in Irish history, or whether 1916’s vision of a small nation, cooperating with its European and international partners, will endure. Is Ireland to be returned to the colonial domination generations fought to end? Are we to betray not only the men and women of 1916-21 and the d

Rule 5 Saturday! This week, we will meditate on reason and Britney Spears. Strangely, this makes a lot more sense than it seems. "How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog in Less Than a Year!" Britney Jean Spears is, well, um ... If you don't know who Britney Spears is ... it's OK ... step outside the house, just a few minutes at a time ... You'll get used to it. You'll start to enjoy it.

By Ted Belman In Obama’s address to the UNGA he said that a peace accord must take into account the “legitimate rights of the Palestinians”. I responded with “What legitimate rights”. I received a few requests for the legal arguments in support of my denial of any such rights.

Prof. Talia Einhorn is Senior Research Fellow at T.MIllustration by Paresh Nath By Dr. Elias Akleh Goldstone's report, incriminating Israel for war crimes, has been optimistically received by many as a sign of dismantling Israel's impunity from legal actions for her war crimes and violations of international laws. Yet, at the same time, it is full of political booby-traps that Israel could use to indemnify herself and turn the blame onto Palestinians. Besides equating the Palestinian victims with the genocidal Israeli criminals, and denyin

Hello all. Fist semester and in the 8th week. Doing pretty well but there are some questions at the end on each chapter to study on to help w/ the exams. Here are out of 8 chapters I don’t get/understand fully or didn’t find in the text. Any help would be great.

Reading through the Goldstone report , one theme becomes immediately apparent: the deliberateness of the destruction in Gaza. The authors keep returning to this point throughout the text, in a direct rebuke to those liberal apologists for Israel who insist, contrary to all the evidence, that whatever crimes the IDF committed in Gaza were accidental or, at most, incidental to the attack, the work of a few rogue soldiers. In fact, reports the Commission, the targeting of industrial sitObama addresses the UN while delegates listen to Britney Spears. On September 23, President Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly with a speech that his proponents have called “soaring” and “breathtaking”. Everyone else recognized that this was Obama campaigning for the office of President of the Universe. As speeches go, it’s pretty typical Obama – overly long with lots of high concepts and absolutely no recognition of reality, practicality, or even the lowly nature of Obama

Since the primary tenet of the Republican Party has now become visceral hatred of Barack Obama and open season on obstructing everything he tries to do-- a strategy that around a third of the country enthusiastically supports -- I didn't expect any accolades from the right on his masterful speech in front of the UN today. I heard one commentator liken it to Yo Yo Ma on a cello. But the instant outpouring of
