If Iraq lets the arms inspectors back in, America's case for war will be exposed as fiction

The Guardian'ın ekonomi editörü Larry Elliot'a göre Amerikan Borsasının çöküşüyle, 1930'lardan bu yana dünya ekonomisi için en kritik an geliyor olabilir. "Bugün mesele, bu toplu piyasa çılgınlığının bedelinin ciddi bir küresel resesyon, hatta tam kapsamlı bir çöküş olup olmayacağı meselesi."

It is remarkable how easily one learns to live with occupation. When I was born, the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories was already three years old. When I became 18 the occupation was still in full force, only by then the Palestinians had had enough of it.

Back in December they were celebrating a resounding victory - and ridiculing the peaceniks. 'Well, ha ha ha, and yah, boo,' declared Christopher Hitchens memorably. But now 1,700 British soldiers are headed for the conflict, American troops are bogged down and Bin Laden is nowhere to be found.
