The fact that Israel is winning the conflict with the Arabs is due to many factors, mainly the US/EU political and military alliance.

Betrayal

There is an old Arab verse that says (in effect): ‘The oppression inflicted on me by my relatives is more painful than to be fiercely stabbed by my enemy.’

(LONDON) - The last 48 hours were the most grim, the most bitter of my entire life.

I could never have imagined in my darkest hour of despair that my own people would sell us and our just cause down the drain for the sake of convenience and pragmatism. Yet sell us they did, and very cheaply.

Eliminating Pre-Dispute Arbitration Clauses in Consumer Contracts

While arbitration may be a faster, cheaper way to resolve a dispute, they are generally unfair to consumers because it eliminates the right to appeal and access to discovery, and arbitration clauses often prohibit class actions.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Over the years, arbitration has become a take-it-or-leave contract provision in many consumer contracts.

And available evidence suggests that the arbitration playing field has tilted against consumers.

The Stillbirth of the New Libya

A Frankenstein’s monster has been created and it may not be possible to bring it under control quickly enough.

(LONDON) - Britain’s Guardian newspaper has an excellent editorial on the unfolding crisis in Libya – or perhaps it would be more accurate to describe it as the unravelling of Libya as a state.

The hard truth is that power in Libya has been captured by armed militias, who control much of what goes on in each region.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - There appears to be a great controversy about whether Marijuana/Cannabis is beneficial for mental disease or if it is really harmful.
