is for Failure: The Bush Doctrine in ruins

By Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch.com
Once upon a time, George W. Bush, along with his top officials and
advisors, hoped to preside over a global Pax Americana and a domestic
Pax Republicana - a legacy for the generations. More recently, their
highest hope seems to have been to slip out of town in January before
the you-know-what hits the fan. No such luck.

The
U.S. Financial Crisis and the Philippines’ Economic Debacle
Having
produced only disastrous results, economic management can no longer
be left in the hands of an elite corps of bureaucrats and technocrats
who ape lock, stock and barrel models purposely to make corporate

Peace in Mindanao –

The

on Ancestral Domain: It’s Not Over, Yet
The
Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) on Ancestral Domain between the Philippine
government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) does not
automatically bind the Arroyo government to honor the territorial
claim of the Bangsamoro people in Mindanao, Palawan, and Sulu.
