    Bahasa Indonesia Nederlands English Español Português MN Service pages::  Updated 08 October 2001 The allied military operation against Afghanistan got under way on 7 October. As expected, one of the first targets was the Taliban regime's radio station, The Voice of Shariat. Within the first hour, journalists in Afghanistan reported that the station had gone off the air. Then the Foreign Minister of the opposition Northern Alliance said that 'Kabul Radio' had been one of the first targets to be attacked by the allies. However, the station returned to the air some hour later. It now appears that the ...

  • Chinaspeak: Talk Radio Will Spin for the ChiComs Again Today

    Why the United States has not demanded or even suggested an "expression of regret" from the PRC concerning the behavior of its "hot-dog" pilot who clipped our Naval EP-3, endangering the lives of our Airmen, is a mystery to me. However, based upon past performance, I am sure that the talk-radio airwaves today will buzz with spin in support of the latest sordid appeasement of the Butchers of Beijing and their criminal behavior -- namely, a one-way apology. Read for yourself how the Butchers are spinning our above-linked apology: Text of Letter from the Chinese Embassy. They admit no wrong, ...
  • Single-Mission Volunteerism: Or, Return of the Modern Minuteman

    April 9, 2001 | Ironword
    THE STANDING ARMY has been a staple of the modern state since Machiavelli advised such in The Prince. And yet, in the United States, our standing military has always remained relatively small -- until times of national crisis. The Minuteman was ready "in a minute" to grab his weapon and join his fellow townsmen in the defense of their homes, then return to their various employments following the battle, a cycle that repeated itself during the Revolutionary War. The ranks of the Blue and the Gray swelled at the onset of the Civil War, the columns disappearing into the mists ...

    Saturday March 31 12:50 AM ET Time To Set Clocks Ahead Again WASHINGTON (AP) - Daylight-saving time returns on Sunday to most of the nation. That means it's time to set the clocks ahead - spring forward - to gain an hour of light in the evening for summer recreation. The change occurs officially at 2 a.m. local time Sunday, but for most people it's easiest to make the change before retiring Saturday night. It's also a good time to replace batteries in smoke alarms, safety advocates say. Daylight-saving time lasts until Oct. 28. Some parts of the country don't ...

    March 19, 2001 A peace process in name only Ireland is moving closer to civil war John O'Sullivan Chicago Sun-Times At a low point in the fortunes of the first Nixon administration, a group of presidential aides were chewing the fat over what issue the president should campaign on in the 1972 election. The economy? With wage and price controls in place, maybe not. Educational vouchers? Too novel and hence risky. Vietnam? Nooooooooo.Eventually, one bright spark came up with the answer: "He kept us out of Ulster."Recent straws in the wind had suggested the Bush administration would like to give ...

    South China Morning Post Saturday, March 10, 2001 Beijing's Head Start by GLENDA KORPORAAL The 2008 Olympic Games is Beijing's to lose. Five months ahead of the crucial vote, this seems to be the general view in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as its members await the verdict of its Evaluation Commission, which began its tour of the five bidding cities in Beijing last week. Despite the efforts of human-rights activists opposed to the Beijing bid, many IOC insiders still see the Chinese capital as the city to beat for the 2008 Games - unless it makes a serious mistake ...

    According to reporting in the Irish Times, the White House will again host a St. Patrick's Day affair, with invitees including the Taoiseach (prime minister) of Ireland, Bertie Ahern (who will present shamrock to the President), Irish-American leaders, and Northern-Ireland leaders. The report, however, fails to mention whether Sinn Fein/IRA members Gerry Adams and Martin McGuiness will also be invited to attend -- as had been the case during the Clinton administration. That the Real IRA (RIRA, CIRA, PIRA, INLA, they're all Marxists anyway) is known to be responsible for the recent high-profile bombing of the BBC in London, and ...
