of the Day
|
| Just because the amount of fat in a hot dog is more than a bag of prezels doesn't
mean you should eat a bag of prezels. |

by: Timothy W. Shire

 Exporting the
American democracy in Iraq: The Free Market of Deregulation and Privatization- Friday
September 26, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Mr. deSantis has spotted an interesting inversion
both criminals being placed in power and dogmatic imposition of economic formats
that are site specific. What works in America is not necessarily what will work in
Iraq, Afghanistan to Venezuela. The references on this story are exceptional and
give you an opportunity to explore this topicmuch more fully than an interpretive
summary.

 Washington Pursues
Dangerous Policy in Vernezuela- Friday
September 26, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The actions of the American government attempting
to desabilise and over throw a democratically elected government is setting a bad
example and could seriously undermine the international relations around the world
including the way countries relate to the United States.

by: Timothy W. Shire

AirVenture.

 Only the Progressive
Conservatives are facing the issues- Wednesday
September 24, 2003
by: Jason Inness
Calgary: As the Progressive Conservative and Canadian
Alliance negotiate some sort of agreement Jason Inness points out that the federal
Liberal party has been pretty well absent from responding to the series of crisis
facing the country and the Alliance has been wasting time on emotional issues. He
feels only the Progressive Conservatives are dealling with things that really matter.

 Beriev Be-103- Tuesday
September 23, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Oshkosh, Wisconsin: Though the OshKosh AirVenture is
an amateur/homebuilt convention the star of the show this year was a commercial aircraft
designed and build in Russia. This remarkable, low wing, twin engined, amphibian
is simply off the scale in innovation and outstanding engineering. For me this was
the most exceptional aircraft of the thousands to be seen at this incredible event.

international business of privatisation- September 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis

of the goals of these American dominated institutions. Check out the references as
we have included some actual news stories from Dubia with a viewpoint from that part
of the world.

All this and more.
