Ancient memories (Part I)

In April 1951, Harry Truman grew concerned that escalation of U.S. military operations in Korea could draw in Soviet armed forces. Moscow already supplied weapons and fighter planes to North Korea with Soviet pilots. General Douglas MacArthur publicly proposed sending U.S. troops across the Yalu River (dividing North Korea and China) to pursue North Korean and Chinese forces. On April 11, Truman fired MacArthur from his commands in Korea and Japan -- arguably the most politically unpopular decision in U.S. presidential history.

I attended MacArthur’s homecoming welcome in New York City.

Carbon Trading: flaw at the heart of Democrats’ climate bill

The oil, gas and coal industry lobbyists who have spent almost $45 million on President Obama´s clean energy plan in recent months need not worry: it is so full of holes that US industry could avoid making any reductions at home until at least 2026, rendering talk of a 17 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 largely meaningless.

Why Has Cuba Become a Difficult Problem for the Left?

Both Cuba and the left have evolved during half a century along different paths, but now is the hour for the left worldwide to give back what it owes Cuba for being what it is.

Now to complete the democratic revolution

The current anger in Britain over MPs' misuse of public money is more than outrage at the pathetic greed of public representatives. It is a fury over a deep-seated failure of public control of public money, that should now be the basis of a movement to complete the unfinished struggle for popular sovereignty

Carbon trading and cash values on forests cannot curb carbon emissions

The commitment to carrying on with business as usual at the recent World Business Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen took an almost surreal form at times.

The illusion of stabilization

en

There has been a distinct deficit of good news lately. News influences financial markets, and that is why leaders try to organize, distribute and manipulate the news in such a way as to convert today's headlines into tomorrow's quick profits.

The trillions that governments around the world have spent since the crisis broke out have been spent more on producing positive headlines than in instituting measures to halt the crisis.

VENUE: BASH, 65-71 Scrutton Street, London EC2

When world leaders negotiate a new climate agreement this December, they will promote one solution above all others: carbon trading. The EU already has its own carbon trading system; in the US, Obama is working hard to push a ‘cap-and-trade’ system through Congress. But what is carbon trading? What is the theory behind it? How does it work in practice?

Las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) cumplen mañana 45 años sumidas en una crisis sin precedentes por los golpes recibidos, especialmente en los últimos 18 meses, debido a la ofensiva militar del Gobierno y a la deserción de muchos de sus combatientes.

Aun así, el Gobierno del presidente Álvaro Uribe no ha podido aniquilar a este grupo guerrillero, el más antiguo de América y que tiene en su poder a cientos de secuestrados, gracias a su capacidad de adaptación y resistencia.

Los ingentes recursos gastados en los últimos años para
