The US presidential election is coming up soon, November 5, and there are frantic efforts to get Democratic candidate,J.Kerry elected so that finally we can all be rid of GWBush, his corporate- (see Dick Cheney and Halliburton) administration and including those sinister neo-conservatives.
It's a good idea, for a lot of people, the get-Bush-out-at-all costs, the Kerry is so great mentality in spite of the fact there's little difference between his views and that of GWBush on America's foreign policies (which were the main reason people Bush hate Bush so much). I believe that people need to be careful, that they don't place so much hope and trust on Kerry and his policies. There are some good points made here about whether there would be any real changes to US foreign policy with Kerry on williambowles.info.
From the same author, this is another article on his own site which seems quite interesting with frequent articles on world injustice and politics. This article talks about the injustice that happens everywhere yet there are only a few that the US and western world intervene in. The thing is, are their intentions really magnaminous or is there a deeper and darker purpose? Read it and see. Power, greed and deceit all cut deep and everytime, it's the poor and disadvantaged (3rd world) who suffer the worst.

From Russian media sevice Pravda, a good summary of the history of the conflict and turmoil in the Middle East and Iran and Iraq. We often wonder why there's so much violence in that area, and consequently we develop a great sense of wonder, shock and derision towards those Arabs/muslims who're always fighting and making trouble, especially in Palestine. Yet do we know of the roles that the western countries have played in starting and stirring those conflicts and hatreds? Do we know of the oppressions and manipulation that have been carried out on those nations and people by the western world?
