if you don't want to read the book "The seven decade - the new shape of nuclear danger", you can watch the interview. it is very informative and fulfilling
while reading the Book of Jonathan Schell, the Seventh Decade, the New Shape of Nuclear Danger, numerous cross cutting observations, in relation to General Wesley Clark, were made. the below is a small sample of these observations: "This new ambition was crystallized in a document that won brief notoriety and then, when Bush Sr. lost his bid for a second term, was forgotten. Its importance for the present is that it outlined a scheme for global dominance a decade before September 11, 2011. its sponsor was Cheney and its draftsman was Zalmay Khalilzad, who would become ambassador to Afghanistan in 2003 and of Iraq in 2005. The draft stated, "the number one objective of U.S.'s post-cold war political and military strategy should be preventing the emergence of a rival superpower. Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival." even strong regional powers should be suppressed, especially in areas "whose resources would, under consolida...
اعتدت منذ فترة طويلة على تقليد صباحيّ روتينيّ بسيط غير انه أصبح بغاية الأهمية بالنسبة إليّ. أحضّر قهوتي، أتربّع عرشي وراء المكتب، واتصفح جريدة النهار لثلاثين دقيقة. هذه العادة جعلتني من أشدّ المعجبين بالصحافي راجح الخوري. ثقافته السياسية واسعة وهو قارئ نهم متابع للأخبار العالمية والإقليميّة ويترجم بمنطق حاد مفهومه للأوضاع بشكل حازم ولازع. في جريدة اليوم عدد 25462 في تاريخ 21/8/2014 تحدّث راجح في عموده اليوميّ صفحة 12، عن اللبنانيين الذين أصبحوا حفنة من الاجئين في وطنهم الأم. وقد توجه بهذا المقال بالرد أو بإنتقاد ما جاء على لسان روس ماونتن منسق الأمم المتحدة للشؤون الإنسانية في لبنان، في مقابلة صحافية مع ريتا صفير، زميلة راجح في النهار. وقد اختتم المقال بتلخيص ممتاز للمحتوى وقد جاء فيه: "مستر ماونتن، تقول انكم تعملون بموجب الحياد والإنسانية. ولكن الإنسانية تفرض على الأقل سلوكاً أكثر جديّة ومسؤوليّة وأخلاقيّة حيال بلد يجعل طوفان الاجئين إليه من أهله حفنة من الاجئين والمهاجرين". ولقد لفتني جداً هذا القول. فان افتراض راجح تحرّك الأمم المتحدة تجاه أزمة النزوح مصدره م...
The following Parable is an actual simulation of the Lebanese society layers. Parable of a lioness, a cheetah and an Oryx, who had come together on a long journey, decided one day to confess their sins to each other. As queen of the forest, the lioness was the first. "she told the others that, once, after she had finished off a big buck, a zebra came by. "it looked so sleek and tender," she said, "I had wantonly dispatched a fellow beast for no purpose," she said regretfully. The remorseful cheetah reassured her. "why should you, queen of the forest, be remorseful about the skill that has made you the greatest hunter of us all? You are to be forgiven." Then the cheetah told how, one day, he had spied a fat ewe and her two lambs. Hungrily he had pounced on the nearest lamb, but the mother had begged him to spare the remaining lamb and eat her instead. "I agreed", the cheetah said, "but I was so hungry I the...
