San Franciscans Oppose the War. Why Don't Their Representatives?
On the war, it seems, Pelosi is leading from the rear – her national antiwar image notwithstanding. Oh, she does berate the Bush Administration for its conduct of the war, certainly. Her statement on the May 5 $82 billion supplemental appropriation referred to "repeated failures in judgment that first put our troops in harm's way." But when 58 Democrats voted against the increased war funding, their ranks did not include her – or Lantos. Critic of the war? Yes. Opponent of th...

Meanwhile, In The West Bank
Those who are interested in peace in the Middle East should not be fooled by the idea of a new dawn. If Sharon's decision to leave Gaza means that life in the Strip will improve, then this is very welcome. But if, as I suspect, the disengagement is a sleight of hand to strengthen Israel's occupation of the West Bank, then lasting peace is further off than ever....

Democracy, imperialism and terrorism in the West
Nothing justifies the bombings in London on July 7. British Muslims are as appalled by them as other British people. But the explanations are not hard to find, and must be confronted if such atrocities are to be averted in future. But Blair’s determination to ignore the explanations for the bombings, and instead use them to justify his foreign policy, makes virtually inevitable more such tragedies in the future....

Record Number of Ellis Act Evictions in May
A warning to short-term real estate speculators and tenancy in-common (TIC) buyers: Your housing bubble is due to burst. So predicts Ted Gullickson of the San Francisco Tenants Union. According to Gullickson, the current boom of low interest rates coupled with the inflated real estate market is not going to last much longer. In fact, it soon will crash in the way that the stock market did in 1929. His caution comes after the San Francisco Rent Board reported for May of this year 80 Ellis Act ...
