What America Stands For In Libya
 By Cynthia McKinney

http://www.countercurrents.org/mckinney010711.htm


While in Libya, I witnessed NATO's targeting of civilians: NATO bombs and missiles landed in residential neighborhoods, hit schools, exploded near hospitals, destroyed parts of the public broadcasting infrastructure, and narrowly missed killing students at Al Fateh University. When civilians are targeted in war, or "low kinetic" activities, crimes are committed


Libya: Unending American Hostility
 By William Blum

If I could publicly ask our beloved president one question, it would be this: "Mr. President, in your short time in office you've waged war against six countries — Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya. This makes me wonder something. With all due respect: What is wrong with you?"

In a speech to the Venezuelan nation broadcast last night, Mr Chavez assured his countrymen that he is doing well as he sought to cool growing questions about his health and ability to govern. He said the operation took out a growth in which there were "cancerous cells."

 By Subhankar Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/banerjee010711.htm

The Las Conchas Fire has woken us up. It is time we learn from this deadly fire and stop a proposed plutonium bomb factory at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). I'll tell you how your voice is crucial in this matter


United States Knesset Resolution 185 Reconsidered:To be or Not To Be American
 By William A. Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook010711.htm

This week the United States Senate unanimously adopted a resolution drafted by its masters, the State of Israel and AIPAC, to prevent the United Nations, of which the United States is a member, from exercising its constitutional rights to free speech to deliberate on the recognition of a Palestinian State . The resolution is an exercise in coercion


Thank-You For Not "Serving"
 By Katherine M. Acosta

http://www.countercurrents.org/acosta010711.htm

Before the parades begin, the flag-waving commences, and the fireworks explode this 4th of July, I want to recognize a large contingent of patriots who help to protect us from terrorism and defend what freedom and democracy we still enjoy. To the unemployed and under-employed who nevertheless reject military service as a way out of economic troubles. Thank-you for not "serving."


Lies, Damn Lies, And Safe Nuclear Power
 By Stephen Lendman

Governments, regulators, and power companies are suppressing vital truths, instead of shutting down inherently unsafe plants, making all of them ticking bombs


US Foreign Policy Invigorated
 At The Expense Of Gaza
 By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud010711.htm

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has made a series of stern and fiery statements recently, giving the impression that war is somehow upon us once again. Oddly, Clinton's sudden reappearance into the Middle East diplomacy scene was triggered by the brave attempts of peace activists to break the siege on Gaza

New York Times's Fairy Tale About Gaza
 By Shaik Zakeer Hussain

http://www.countercurrents.org/hussain010711.htm

Instead of telling the truth about the situation in the Gaza strip, New York Times' Ethan Bronner has brewed a fairy tale that only exists in his comatose world


Children Too Have A Right To Life With Dignity
 Petition Campaign

http://www.countercurrents.org/posco010711.htm

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned at the recent developments of accusing POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samiti (PPSS), the organization spearheading a peaceful, democratic movement for more than five years against forceful land acquisition for the proposed POSCO project in Odisha, for 'using' children as shields in the movement


A Certificate Course In Racism
 By Vidya Bhushan Rawat

http://www.countercurrents.org/rawat010711.htm

It is more than shocking to hear the circular of IIT Delhi for the Dalit-OBC students to learn etiquettes and manners. What does it mean? Do the students hailing from these categories suffer from cultural inadequacies? Can we really call it like that? What are the learned professors of our IITs going to teach to these students? Why are such classes necessary for the Dalits, tribal and OBCs only?


Lessons From India's Partition
 By Nasim Yousaf

http://www.countercurrents.org/yousaf010711.htm

 The people of Pakistan and India must learn from the errors of the past and stop endorsing partition, as it only leads to continuing hostility between the two nations; the concocted and exaggerated stories regarding the freedom movement must come to an end
