 Military or Market-Driven Empire Building: 1950-2008

 By James Petras | 3 May 2008 | As the U.S. presidential campaign predictably displays a competition in militarism and allegiance to Zionist interests, the militaristic model of governance, which has largely prevailed so far in this century within the power circles, has nonetheless failed in terms of empire building. James Petras takes a historical look at the competition between this military powered empire building model, and the market powered one, to point out that eventually, while the inefficient military colonial policy crippled the U.S. economy, it was paving the way for economic competitors to reap the benefits of globalization.



Learning about the Past to Understand the Present
US secret services in between China and Tibet

 By Comandante Fidel Castro | La Havane (Cuba) | 2 April 2008 | The Tibet images published by the CNN are simplistic: on the one hand they show the Chinese as the bad guys because they are communist; on the other hand we have the Tibet people, the Buddhists. But Comandante Fidel Castro warns that all that is but mere propaganda. The history of that Asian region discloses the truth, the old causes and disputes between the United States and China: the adhesion of Tibet to the Kuomintang to fight Mao and the Buddhist guerrilla under the command of the CIA.



George Bush will play all he’s got
The resignation of Admiral Fallon will provoke renewed fighting in Iraq

 By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 15 March 2008 | Contrary to what has been written so far in the mainstream media, Admiral William Fallon was not removed because he was opposing President Bush on an attack against Iran. He resigned from his own initiative after the agreement he had negotiated and concluded with Tehran, Moscow and Peking was sabotaged by the White House. This decision by the Bush administration will provoke renewed fighting in Iraq and exposes gravely the GI’s to a new Resistance this time supported without restraints from the outside.
