A couple of months ago Salon offered a free subscription to Rolling Stone magazine. Though I’m completely not into music, I figured it was worth a try – and Mike could like it. I ended up becoming a fan.
I still skip all the music stuff – but each issue has one or two serious articles that are very well researched and written. Some recent ones have included an expose of Scientology, Duke’s mysogenist culture, Neocons attempts to start a war with Iran and the Pentagon spy complex. I don’t know that the magazine is worth buying just for these articles, but if you like music you might want to subscribe to it.

The government of Israel has recently purchased from the United States bunker-busting bombs (GBU-28), for use in its war in Lebanon. These bombs contain depleted uranium – a carcinogenic substance that spreads in the form of a toxic and radioactive dust, which enters the lungs and bones and is especially harmful to babies and young children.
We call on the government of Israel not to make use of these bombs.
Professor tony D’Amato of Northwestern University has written a quick and clear analysis of the UN ceasefire plan, and its legal and practical implications. It’s worth a read.
What does Hizbullah want? Professor Haykel asserts that it’s fighting “the generalized Arab and Muslim feeling of defeat, humiliation and genuine incompetence.” Victory has been redefined as bleeding Israel, rather than defeating it militarily. It is, in another words, a psychological victory. But is that victory?
