The neocon-xenophobe war by Harold Meyerson* laweekly.com <<...The upsurge of American unilateralism comes at a time when the accelerating integration of the world economy has led many nations to conclude that assuring the planet’s future depends on building stronger global bodies to regulate the economy, protect the environment, and minimize both state-sponsored and stateless violence. No part of the world is more wedded to that vision than Europe, where the construction of a continental supra-nation is well under way. The conflict between the U.S. and Europe, then, is over more than what to do in Iraq; it is really over the future of world governance...>> *Harold Meyerson is political editor and columnist for the L.A. Weekly, the nation's largest metropolitan weekly, where he served as executive editor from 1989 through 2001. His articles on politics, labor, the economy, foreign policy and American culture have also appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New Republic, The Nation, The New Statesman; the op-ed, commentary, and book review sections of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times, and in numerous other publications.

lurqer: IMO, you have done a great job capturing the essence of this thread... washingtonpost.com <<...I like the idea of a board where many things can be discussed. It’s not that focused boards are inappropriate, it’s just that insight into some matters can only obtained by examining the interrelationships. Few would argue that politics has no effect on the market, but for many market boards, politics is O.T. – and for a reason. Given that this board is a descendent of the ole Porch, and given that the ole Porch, at it’s best, accommodated a broad spectrum of opinion, I plan on continuing to discuss here not only politics, but stocks, bonds, gold and whatever else seems that it may be of interest. For many, I’m sure it will be just so much blah, blah. So be it...>> This is a dynamic thread and there are A LOT of bright folks out here...Sometimes we'll have to agree to disagree and if some folks attack others we may just have to ignore them all together. There are no rules on this thread and we can post on any topic that comes to mind -- and critique what we observe that may be going on in the world around us...We clearly can learn from each other and at times we can have a little fun too...;-) regards, -s2/Scott
