...feel as though we can make a difference.” Participants launched a three-pronged calling campaign. Some students called the office of U.S. Ambassador to the UN John Bolton; HDAG hopes that Bolton will use his remaining time as president of the UN Security Council to deploy peacekeeping forces into Darfur. Others dialed up Massachusetts state politicians to voice their support for Massachusetts Senate Bill 2166. The bill would divest all state funds from businesses with financial ties to Sudan. Students also urged their respective U.S. Representatives to vote in favor of the Darfur Peace and Accountability...
...substantial extent, the prospects of averting a full-blown civil war will depend on how al-Sadr chooses to deploy his militia--as a revenge-seeking lynch mob or as enforcers of Shi'ite restraint. Because of his popularity with the Shi'ite masses, any effort to broker a cease-fire between the sects and form a durable Iraqi government that can contain the violence will require his active cooperation. It's an indication of how badly things are going for the Bush Administration that its hopes are pinned to a man implacably hostile toward the U.S.--and whose supporters...
White House officials, recognizing the likelihood that Republicans on Capitol Hill will go their own way, say they have designed an agenda that relies on Congress for very little in this election year.

...recommendations of the HCCR cannot faithfully be implemented until CGE’s are fully formed and ready to deploy. To hasten this process, the “Gang of Five,” or whoever chooses to be in charge, can begin by making CGE’s unambiguously central to general education. In a pedagogy which celebrates student choice, this means they must be incentivized. If students take a year-long CGE, it should count for a full distribution requirement—the equivalent of three courses, not just two. Students won’t really be cheating...
...there very seriously." Who could argue with the Dutchman, installed in January 2004 as head of the 26-country alliance? Well, for starters, his own country. The Netherlands, a founding Nato member, faces a crucial parliamentary debate and vote Thursday on whether to honor a commitment to deploy some 1,200 soldiers to Uruzgan province in south central Afghanistan. It was De Hoop Scheffer himself, as the Dutch Foreign Minister for 16 months from 2002, who charted the Netherlands' careful course through the Iraq crisis, supporting Washington's coalition of the willing without alienating France and Germany...
