Beyond the Rim - 'We ignore China's growing military and economic power at our peril.' (Dec 15 2004 01:59 GMT) - Excerpt: "With its new economic resources China has embarked upon a military traverse from reliance upon mass to devotion to quality, with stress upon war in space, the oceans, and the ether--three areas of unquestioned American superiority."Is this more old-Pentagon thinking of near-peer? Or is this a reality that we have to consider along with current terrorism reconfigurations? While some people would like to believe China is not a threat I think it's important to note the Chinese-Iranian connection in recent months. |

Resident Thinker Given Free Rein In White House (Dec 15 2004 01:59 GMT) - ] Wehner runs the White House Office of Strategic] Initiatives (or the Office of Strategery, as it is known] inside the building after a "Saturday Night Live" skit] spoofing the president's mangling of the English] language). The OSI was Rove's idea, created shortly after] President Bush was elected in 2000. It is the smallest] unit in the Rove empire, with six employees, and] represents the closest thing the White House has to an] in-house think tank.In this Bush whitehouse Peter Wehner one of those unheard of super powerful people. And yes the word is ``Strategery''. |

The Wonks' Loya Jirga (Dec 15 2004 01:59 GMT) - You have to remember that Republicans have a different relationship to ideas than Democrats. When Democrats open their mouths, they try to say something interesting. If the true thing is obvious and boring, the liberal person will go off and say something original, even if it is completely idiotic. This is how deconstructionism got started.Republicans are less concerned with displaying their own cleverness. |

Edgar Allen Poe's Account of the Mechanical Turk (Dec 15 2004 01:59 GMT) - ] But if these machines were ingenious, what shall we think] of the calculating machine of Mr. Babbage? What shall we] think of an engine of wood and metal which can not only] compute astronomical and navigation tables to any given] extent, but render the exactitude of its operations] mathematically certain through its power of correcting] its possible errors? What shall we think of a machine] which can not only accomplish all this, but actually] print off its elaborate results, when obtained, without] the slightest intervention of the intellect of man? It] will, perhaps, be said, in reply, that a machine such as] we have described is altogether above comparison with the] Chess-Player of Maelzel. |

More flickr.module-foo (Dec 15 2004 01:58 GMT) - Added the filter routine. I checked with the Flickr AUP and don’t think it’s a good idea to completely encapsulate all flickr technology into it.

have Arabs or Muslims always hated Jews? (Dec 15 2004 01:57 GMT) - Juan Cole looks at the question Have Arabs or Muslims always hated Jews?: These are the Orientalist premises of the Zionist Right and its American fellow travelers. The reason my comment was so challenging is that it didn't partake of these premises. The premise is that there is an "eternal Arab" or "eternal Muslim" that is defined as essentially fanatical and intolerant and full of hatred toward Jews. These are universal characteristics of this race, and unvarying over time. |
