Centre of research on Globalization reports today that US imperialism and its jointly allied force is planning for a Naval Blockade and war against Iran. It says:
....This was the joint US/UK/French naval war games in the Atlantic Ocean preparing for a naval blockade of Iran and the likely resulting war in the Persian Gulf area. The massive war games included a US Navy supercarrier battle group, an US Navy expeditionary carrier battle group, a Royal Navy carrier battle group, a French nuclear hunter-killer submarine plus a large number of US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates playing the "enemy force"......They are joining two existing USN battle groups in the Gulf area: the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN72) with its Carrier Strike Group Nine (CCSG-9); and the USS Peleliu (LHA-5) with its expeditionary strike group........

World in War again
This week though olympic, the greatest sport event of our time had its way on in Beijing, the attention was drawn by the Georgian attack in South Ossetia followed by the clash between Russian and Georgia. Russia blames NATO and US for making Georgia to start the aggression, while the Georgians are saying, "the russian aggression must not go unanswered". Thousands of people are already killed, though Georgia are claiming less than that.
Chomsky says:
"What's happening seems to me obscure. In Russia, the Putin-Khodorkovsky affair
looks like a battle between two mafias, one state-centered, the other
oligarchy-centered. But information is too low credibility to be confident, at
least what I've seen. I don't see much of an issue of democracy. And when we
are told how Bush looks into Putin's soul and finds a comrade -- need anything
more be said? Undoubtedly the NSC is worried about "the investment and
business climate." And the "rule of law" insofar as it maintains that
properly. How about the "rule of law" in Chechnya? That's someone else's
department.
Have nothing useful to say about what's happening in Georgia."- link
One question that i can't answer: "Why USA are fearing Russia? the nationalism??" - it seems obscure to me. just joking.

The Politics of Cluster Bombs
Asia Times Online reports :
" .... Nang Wan lies in a hospital bed in this remote area's provincial hospital, her body covered in small black wounds. The 35-year-old woman was digging a shallow drainage ditch around her house on April 16 when her world exploded.
Her youngest, five-year-old, son was killed instantly in the blast. Her other two young children are in the room across the hall, with shrapnel wounds to their bodies and faces. Their injuries are tragically common in this northern province of Laos, a legacy of the country's war with the United States.
During the US's so-called "Secret War" in Laos, which spanned from 1964-1973, the US military dropped more than 2.4 million tons of bombs on the country, including around 270 million cluster bomb sub-munitions..."
