Rightwing Smearers of Obama Don't know a School from a Madrasa
Very few Americans can dispel that kind of rumor but few listeners can be found. Who ever heard of Juan Cole? Americans don’t like experts. They have ugly tradition of blaming one religion, hating because one has darker skin or supporting their leaders knowing they are committing ugly crimes. Barack Obama lived few years in Indonesia predominantly a Muslim country and went to school there, Obama’s attending a school (Madrasa in Arabic) in a foreign country was a ground for white people to dismiss him as a legitimate American who could run for the presidency! America is way, way behind this kind of stuff: first they said his middle name (Hussein) might discourage people from voting for him now this. To be a friend of a Whiteman will cause you nothing but pain. But on the other hand being critical of the criminality of the establishment of the United State of America and how it came about will free you.

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.

Scoop: Ethiopia: Gov't Prepares Assault On Civil Society (New York, July 1, 2008) - Ethiopia's government should immediately abandon plans to impose strict government controls and draconian criminal penalties on nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International said today. The two groups called on donor governments, whose behind-the-scenes efforts to see the bill reformed appear to have failed, to speak out publicly against the de facto criminalization of most of the human rights, rule of law and peace-building work currently being carried out in Ethiopia.
