Somalia is yet another example of international failure. For the United States, the lack of interest in the country is further evidence that the Bush Administration's foreign policy is merely a quest for oil. Had the U.S. been serious about fighting terrorists and stabilising the world, Iraq would still be ruled by Saddam Hussein and Somalia would be a region under American control. Somalia is the place that supports terrorism and threatens world interests by hosting the pirates that launch attacks on one of the world's busiest trade routes. Those are real threats. That the international presence...
...there is a downside. Even though amounts this large inevitably seem like toy money, it's a real trillion dollars we are talking about spending. Even if we spend the money wisely (on bridges to somewhere), we or future generations will still have to pay it off, with interest. Or, more likely, we will inflate it away, along with the life savings of those who were foolish enough to save all their lives. It's just that the downside of doing nothing is worse.

Were they to succeed at halting this project, it would set a bad precedent for energy development to surrender to the interest of those with wealth, while the disenfranchised are stuck with wind and nuclear energy facilities in their midst. It is both fair and sad to say that if this project had been proposed for a poor neighborhood in Boston that the plan would have already gone through. The benefits and burdens...

The UC leadership has touted this extra campaign time as a way to provide student groups with more time to debate and endorse a presidential ticket. We encourage student groups to endorse candidates, as they have a vested interest in the UC from a funding and status-dependent standpoint. Taking this into account, we would suggest that student groups endorse candidates based primarily on how a their platform would specifically affect the group—rather than use the irrelevant criterion of how a certain candidate?...
...last week's terrorist attack on Mumbai. But she also knew that such a crackdown would be unpopular in Pakistan and could very well destabilize its weak civilian government. How then to mollify India's saber-rattling public while getting Pakistan's officials to act against their own interest? The two nuclear-powered nations of the subcontinent have been to war against each other three times, and tempers are now rising on both sides of the border...
