Considering a war with Iran: By Dr. Plesch and Martin Butcher

August 29th, 2007 by CD

Guys and gals, this is a very interesting paper.  It’s 80 pages but well worth the read on the possibility of the rouge nation called the U.S. and its war against anyone it dislikes.  The paper is written by Dr. Plesch and Martin Butcher, you can find more about them below. 

Some highlights of the paper:

The study concludes that the US has made military preparations to
destroy Iran’s WMD, nuclear energy, regime, armed forces, state apparatus and
economic infrastructure within days if not hours of President George W. Bush
giving the order. The US is not publicising the scale of these preparations to
deter Iran, tending to make confrontation more likely. The US retains the option
of avoiding war, but using its forces as part of an overall strategy of shaping
Iran’s actions.

Dr. Plesch is Director of the School of Oriental and African Studies’ Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy. Martin Butcher is an international consultant on security politics. This paper presents the views of the authors and not of CISD/SOAS.

No End in Sight

August 28th, 2007 by CD

I plan on seeing this one and hope all of you will do the same, if you have a chance.

NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy – the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government, and the disbanding of the Iraqi military – largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today. How did a group of men with little or no military experience, knowledge of the Arab world or personal experience in Iraq come to make such flagrantly debilitating decisions?

American government: We answer to only ourselves

August 28th, 2007 by CD

Well, seems like the American goverment has been sticking it nose where it doesn’t belong for quite some time now.  Surprise, right?!  I’m saying this right now that Bush and Cheney are going to do something about Iran.  Although they really have nothing they should do with Iran except for expanding diplomatic relations.   Take a look at the below video…!

Another gay congressmen in the closet

August 28th, 2007 by CD

craig.jpgI really find this funny.   Leave it for a guy’s hormones to get himself into trouble.  You would think a senator would think twice about jerking off/oral sex with another guy in an airport…but opps I guess at his old age his hormones are just as high as they were when he was 21!  So here is to the coming out party of Sen. Larry Craig.  Another gay congressmen! 

P.S. Guys heads up…if you horny please refrain from doing it an airport.  The smell alone in an airport would be enough to turn me away! Hahaha

Gwangju massacre 1980

August 26th, 2007 by CD

Since, I will be taking my vacation to S. Korea in two months, I thought I would clubbing.jpgpresent some Korean history.  Many of us have heard of the Tian’anmen protest, but I am sure most people have never heard of the Gwangju massacre that happened in 1980.   Hundreds were killed…

 

Events in Kwangju unfolded after the dictator of South Korea; Park Chung-Hee was assassinated by his own chief of intelligence. In the euphoria after Park’s demise, students led a huge movement for democracy, but General Chun Doo-Hwan seized power and threatened violence if the protests continued. All over Korea, with the sole exception of Kwangju, people stayed indoors. With the approval of the United States, the new military government then released from the frontlines of the DMZ some of the most seasoned paratroopers to teach Kwangju a lesson. Once these troops reached Kwangju, they terrorised the population in unimaginable ways. In the first confrontations on the morning of May 18, specially designed clubs broke heads of defenceless students. As demonstrators scrambled for safety and regrouped, the paratroopers viciously attacked: “A cluster of troops attacked each student individually. They would crack his head, stomp his back, and kick him in the face. When the soldiers were done, he looked like a pile of clothes in meat sauce.” [Lee Jae-Eui, Kwangju Diary: Beyond Death, Beyond the Darkness of the Age, p. 46] Bodies were piled into trucks, where soldiers continued to beat and kick them. By night the paratroopers had set up camp at several universities.

As students fought back, soldiers used bayonets on them and arrested dozens more people, many of whom were stripped naked, raped and further brutalised. One soldier brandished his bayonet at captured students and screamed at them, “This is the bayonet I used to cut forty Viet Cong women’s breasts [in Vietnam]!” The entire population was in shock from the paratroopers’ over-reaction. The paratroopers were so out of control that they even stabbed to death the director of information of the police station who tried to get them to stop brutalising people. [Kwangju Diary, p. 79]
