by Jon Faulkner
Americans seem to have accepted dysfunctional government as unavoidable. Another president, another congress will soon come to power. Amid the noise, the blaring trumpets, the delirium that ushers another president into office, is the quiet acceptance that whatever the new guy does it won’t be done for ordinary Americans. During the Bush Administration, many Americans have been innocently unaware of the quiet, insidious changes that were calculated into their lives. Some like to think the next president will restore the Constitutional Rights that were taken from them. They are fully aware that the Bush Administration has taken an ax to the foundations of democracy. They’ll look hopefully to the new president to restore those rights, and put things back. But there are some things that once they are gone can’t be brought back. | Police Arrest Anti-War Protester, 80, At Mall

by Ellen Tumpasky
Prince Philip is in the clear - and butler Paul Burrell's a liar.The coroner heading up the inquest into Princess Diana's death 10 years ago rejected Monday a conspiracy theory that her father-in-law - the Queen's husband - ordered she be killed."There is no evidence that the Duke of Edinburgh ordered Diana's execution and there is no evidence that the Secret Intelligence Service or any other government agency organized it," Lord Scott Baker told the jury. | Those Who Control Oil and Water Will Control The World
by John Gray
History may not repeat itself, but, as Mark Twain observed, it can sometimes rhyme. The crises and conflicts of the past recur, recognisably similar even when altered by new conditions. At present, a race for the world’s resources is underway that resembles the Great Game that was played in the decades leading up to the First World War. Now, as then, the most coveted prize is oil and the risk is that as the contest heats up it will not always be peaceful. But this is no simple rerun of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, there are powerful new players and it is not only oil that is at stake. | Civilians Killed In Air Strike, say Iraqi Police

by Martha Rafffaele
