Historic summit Korea
There is only one Korea. The ideological clash between Socialism and Capitalism split up the country some 50 years ago. Now, at the end of August 2007, leaders from North and South Korea are to hold their second-ever summit. President Roh Moo-hyun will meet North Korea's Kim Jong-il in the North's ...
Human Rights in the Caribbean
Seen our history, we should be the world champions of human rights. But we’re not. Far form it. Of course, we can blame slavery. We can claim that slavery has blunted our humanity, therefore we cannot be human anymore. Those who argue this way never fail to blame the white people for all our ...
Perspective
‘In 1492 America discovered Columbus and colonialism'. This phrase was very popular during the sixties to give history a different perspective. Instead of a hero, Columbus is depicted as a villain. Even his Spanish surname (‘Colón') begins with the first 5 letters of ‘colonialism'. America could ...
Madness US style and Cuba style
Last Sunday (29 July 2007) it was reported that the US will sell $20 billion worth of arms to Saudi-Arabia. At the same time, an arms deal is in the making with Israel.

One wonders whether the US will survive the assault on democracy from the Bush administration. We need drastic solutions, if we are to get out of this mess. The ...
The battle for democracy is on.
The socialist vision came crashing down in 1989. But in many Latin American countries Fidel Castro still commands respect, the frontrunners being Venezuela and Bolivia. And it is easily understood why: Socialism gives the poor hope. The US gives the poor hate.
What a pity. The US revolution has ...

Maneho di imigrashon hustu i humano
Maneho di migrashon mester ta basá riba derecho humano. Kualkier persona ku ta pensa otro, realmente no tin derecho di biba den un demokrasia. Si un polítiko òf gezaghebber no ta rekonosé derecho fundamental di hende, pueblo mester dun’é su retiro. Awe e ta trapa derecho di migrante, mayan e ta ...
