...Howard doctrine. There is a sharp whiff of Shanghai exuberance around Labor. Just as in China's stock exchanges, the local political market will eventually turn to reflect fundamental laws. The Australian electorate is ultimately conservative. Issues such as the war in Iraq and the five-year Guant?namo incarceration of David Hicks may be hurting Howard now, but they're not potent enough to kill his government in a real election, expected in the spring. In any case, the almost pathologically cautious Howard will start executing more of his master plan to win election No. 5. Those news professionals...
...values that I hold dear as an American have been destroyed by this Republican-dominated government. Freedom of speech disappeared when Americans who spoke out against Bush's policies were labeled unpatriotic. The right to a fair trial exists only as long as we are not flown to Guant?namo Bay or a secret prison. I can no longer defend my country's policies.

Holding prisoners in secret and denying them recourse to judicial hearings in a timely fashion are more than appalling. The Bush Administration seems not to understand that if you want to "export" democracy, you need to act like a democracy, not a totalitarian state. Say all you want about the ends justifying the means, the reality...
...same time that this Pakistani, born and bred in Singapore and English-speaking, was caught by the Northern Alliance, another Pakistani born and bred in Bradford, U.K., was caught in Iraq and sent to Guant?namo Bay. I watched his father on the BBC, and thought to myself: two Pakistani families left Pakistan, one for Bradford, the other for Singapore, produced children, brought up in two totally different environments, quite distant from the Islam of Pakistan, and yet they both end up fighting in Afghanistan. This Islamist pull is more powerful than that of communism. The communists never fully trusted...
