...marine monuments will comprise the ocean waters within a 50-nautical-mile radius of the protected islands and will safeguard virtually the whole of the Mariana Trench. Commercial fishing will be banned within the monuments, and mining, oil exploration and other commercial activity will be limited. (Sportfishing and other boating may be allowed within the region, but only on a permitted basis.) Those protections will shield the rich, pristine marine life found among the coral reefs of the central Pacific, which includes hundreds of species of rare birds and fish. Though most of the monument areas are so remote that...
...this opinion offers no solutions, no alternatives, no suggestions for how a sovereign nation ought to respond when missiles are launched at its citizens. In fact, there were seven years of missiles before Israel’s operation began; 8,250 missiles and mortar rounds had fallen on communities within a 20 kilometer range of Gaza. While some might say that firing 8,250 rockets and mortars at civilians is acceptable “resistance” to the “occupation” of Gaza, almost 2,000 of these rockets were fired in the period between Israel?...

...recommendation. This is a plan. And it has been approved.” Such an open admission of the intent to inflict maximum damage, no matter the severity of the initial threat, wholly invalidates the popular claim that Israel is targeting only Hamas.

Collective punishment is a far too diplomatic term for such a ruthless strategy. Ali Abunimah, a prolific Arab-American author and blogger, perhaps put it best when he asked, is this a taste...
...million complex within the Green Zone is a significant step away from the U.S. government's former headquarters in Saddam Hussein's ornate, marble-filled republican palace, which was handed back to the Iraqis when the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve. The new place is stark and practical - like a "straightforward business office," except with heavy security, says Master Sergeant Patrick McDonald, who heads the embassy's work on the upcoming Iraqi elections. He adds, "In a way, you sort of miss the touch of Saddam...
