Crony capitalism pushed to the extreme My full-time job for the past three years was being an entrepreneur looking for funding of my tech projects. It may seem awkward and irrelevant. But the story is a lot darker, more sophisticated and far-reaching than that. It is my firm belief that I have been targeted and the market is rigged to an impossible extent that plenty of VCs, media and influential businessmen are involved. The conspiracy is to isolate me so that assigned people can profit from those lucrative opportunities. This is...

Blair faces Iraq grilling from MPs The angry mood comes as Downing Street confirmed that Mr Blair hopes to reward those at the "sharp end" of the Iraq conflict in a special Iraq honours list.
According to a leaked Whitehall memo, the prime minister is planning to honour civil servants among 50 non-military officials recommended for knighthoods, OBEs, MBEs and other awards.
Anti-war MPs are likely to be further inflamed by yesterday's suicide car bombings in Baghdad that killed up to 18 people. Responsibility fo...

Iraqi Democracy? Thoughts From Baghdad Why wouldn't America solve matters in a rational, quiet, diplomatic way??
Why does she hold the heavy stick, and hit whoever stands in opposition against her, accusing them with false charges?? Isn't that a weakness, and lack of wisdom in running things??
Is the manner of hitting and violence a civilized manner, in facing the ""other""??
The lady in the lecture said about Democracy: It teaches us how to respect the other opinion… yes, this is the theory, but the reality...

Afghans Admit Voting Multiple Times I went to Zone Five (in Kabul) for voting, but I noticed some chaos there, mainly related to the ink they used to mark the voters' fingers. I saw that some people came out of the polling station, got another voters' card and voted again. I reported what I saw to the monitoring bodies. I think holding such elections was good, but the results would not be legitimate because of the failings on the part of the Joint Elections Commission.

Reporting From Iraq: Why The Quality Of News Is Going Downhill First-hand accounts from the war zone are the raw material of journalism, but context and analysis are just as important for those of us at home trying to make sense of the situation. And with correspondents on the ground in Iraq increasingly hampered by the risk to their own skins, there's less and less for experts here to work with. Brooke speaks with one of the Internet's most widely-read Iraq analysts, University of Michigan Professor Juan Cole....

Afghan Elections:
U.S. Solution to a U.S. Problem Afghanistan will undergo the first presidential elections in the country’s history on October 9, 2004. As if surprised by the fact that Afghans could want a voice in their country’s future, President George W. Bush touted the over 10 million Afghans registered to vote as “a resounding endorsement for democracy.” The real surprise is that, despite rampant anti-election violence and threats of violence, so many people were brave enough to register. This certainly indicates that Afghans are desp...
