Quote of the day

"During the last few decades, the terrorist grew to believe that if they hit America hard, as in Lebanon and Somalia, America would retreat and back down .... So now they're trying to break our will with acts of violence.... Their goal is to force us to retreat.... We will stay on the offense. We'll complete our work in Afghanistan and Iraq. An immediate withdrawal ... would only embolden the terrorists and create a staging ground to launch more attacks against America and free nations. So long as I'm the President, we will stay, we will fight, and we will win the war on terror." -- President George W. Bush, speaking to National Guard soldiers, Idaho, August 24, 2005

To anyone who loved this counterculture writer:

Just so you know. The Sixties are over. My college tried to tell me how great the Sixties were and what did I find out after having to be subjected to countless hours of liberal trash ... well, I found out that the decade sucked ass. If I need to explain why then you didn't live it or you haven't read about it.

For those of you who think your life is crap

Who has legal authority now?

What is Gaza's legal status? I would like to know. The land is neither fully occupied nor completely sovereign. International law never imagined anything like this. There are two basic standards established for "occupied" territory. The first one, in the 1907 Hague Regulations, is effective military control by another power. The Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) also lays down what the occupier must do for the occupied, such as providing basic services (water, education, health), giving aid agencies free access, and --not settling its own citizens there.

This still leaves one to ponder the question of legal statust of Gaza today. I for one would take the evolving standard of facts side. To the extent that there are responsibilities by Israel not yet transferred to the Palestinian Authority, they have to be accountable for these. Just as the Palestinian side has to be accountable for the responsibilities it's received.

Uzbekistan

Do you know who this man is? Well, he is Islam Karimov, the President of Uzbekistan. He is responsible for police authorities opening fire on a peaceful demonstration of close to 10,000 people in the city of Andijan (killing 1,000). Think of this incident as Tiananmen Square like. Tanks rolled through the main square, firing indiscriminately, snipers picked off their victims from convenient buildings, and, later on, soldiers shot some of the wounded. That was three months ago.

So, what has the United States, the United Nations, or the European Union done? What have been the following sanctions placed on Uzbekistan? NOTHING!!!

During the cold war the West would sit back and turn a blind eye to the misdeeds of dictators, but this is something special. Never to my knowledge has so little been done by so many in the face of such atrocity. At least China was given a slap on the hand for a few years after Tiananmen. The actions of the Uzbekistan government is on the same scale as Tiananmen, but still noting has occurred.

The United States has said that it will ponder sanctions. In a statement on the Andijan killings, U.S. Ambassador Stephan M. Minkes stated, "The United States condemns the indiscriminate use of force against unarmed civilians and deeply regrets the substantial loss of life." Deeply regrets!!! Take some action. We overthrew a dictator in Iraq I was told for crap like this. Even with this so called strong statement the U.S. is waiting for Europe's lead. Again, not a widely noted feature of America's foreign policy these days.

There is, however, some sense behind this plan. As a former member of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan is a part of the widest of Europe's concentric circles. It is a member of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and it has a partnership and co-operation agreement (PCA) with the EU. So there is some justification in allowing Europe, with its well known human rights and security policy (ha!), to take the lead. In taken the lead, the European Union has risen to the occasion as grandly as it did over Bosnia, Iraq, and on so many other occasions: with a display of SPINELESSNESS worthy of a sea full of jellyfish@!

First, in June, it demanded that Uzbekistan submit to an international investigation to determine precisely what happened in Andijan. Failure to comply by July 1st, itterrigyingly threatened, might lead to a "partial suspension" of the PCA. Some countires wanted to go so far as to threaten a visa ban for (some) Uzebk officials and possibly even an arms embargo-- but that was reckoned to be a bit too tough.

So, what has happened since then? Well, July 1st came and went, as did August 1st. Still the EU has done nothing. You might ask hasn't the West ignored equally grisly abuses in Chechnya? Yes, but there it can at least be arqued that friendship with Russia is in its vital interest. Friendship with Uzbekistan is not. The country does have gas, but its not very accessible. The failure to punish Mr. Karimov discredits the United States and the West. This type of violence has gone on for far too long.

Oil

I want to point out to all those who will bitch about the high price of oil that although gas pricres have hit $3 a gallon in some cities, in Britain or Germany motorists pay around $6 a gallon. The United States uses roughly 50% more oil per dollar of GDP than the European Union, largely because consumers pay less.

What is the best long-term solution--higher gas taxes in the United States. Yet, we prefer fuel-economy regulations to higher gas taxes. I am thinking the regulations have not worked since oil efficiency in the United States is at a 20-year low. The longer the United States puts off the oil problem, the worse the answer will be for all Americans.

Cool Pictures

I will never wax!!!

I thank G-d everyday that I am not a women for so many reasons. Waxing is one of them. I think of myself as a guys-guy, but I hate even looking at that picture of Steve Carell getting his chest hair waxed. Ugh!!! And women do that down south?!? I am not even getting into giving birth. To all the women I know and those that I have not had the pleasure to meet I say bravo ... bravo ladies for putting up with all this pain.

Log Cabin Republicans

As a self profess libertarian I gladly support any organization that is for limited government and personal responsibility. That is why I would like to highlight the Log Cabin Republicans. I truly wish they were in the main stream of the Republican party, but President Bush isn't knocking on my door to take my advice. The Christian Right will turn the Republican party into the party of big government if we don't look out. And where will that get us? Well, we will have two parties that think the federal government can do everything! Then I'll have to move to ... grrr ... Mexico? Ha! Anyhow, here is the goals of the Log Cabin Republicans and I must say they should be made part of the Republican platform:

"We are loyal Republicans. We believe in low taxes, limited government, strong defense, free markets, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. Log Cabin represents an important part of the American family-taxpaying, hard working people who proudly believe in this nation's greatness. We also believe all Americans have the right to liberty, freedom, and equality. Log Cabin stands up against those who preach hatred and intolerance. We stand up for the idea that all Americans deserve to be treated equal-regardless of their sexual orientation."

Air America

I have not posted on Air America, the liberal radio station based in New York city, because whats the point really to talk about a nonstarter? Yet, now I have reason to enlighten my readers to a real scandal at Air America.

I will start first with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, which is considering a formal staff recommendation that would expell its Bronx, New York, affiliate, the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club, for apparent involvement in -- and concealment of -- a scheme by which nearly $900,000 was improperly diverted to Air America bank accounts intended to fund social service programs for disadvantaged children and the elderly.

I guess liberals need the money more than disadvantaged children and the elderly. Maybe their thinking is that the federal government will just hand out some more money for social programs to replace the "lost" funds. Why this would be a public service! We the American public could indirectly fund a liberal radio network, but we already do that with NPR.
