COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

  3. 5 Ministers Threaten to Leave Iraq’s Cabinet

    Mr. Allawi, a secular Shiite and former member of the Baath Party of Saddam Hussein, criticized the government last week for being “built on the philosophy of sectarianism.” In the past, he has faulted the government’s policies regarding former members of the Baath Party and hiring quotas based on sectarian groupings.

    Iyad Jamal al-Din, an Iraqiya lawmaker, denied that the suspension was related to the Consensus Front’s recent pullout. He maintained that it was a protest against Mr. Maliki’s failure to respond to Iraqiya’s demands for reform five months ago.

    Describing the move as a “first step,” he said Iraqiya would wait to see how the government reacts. “Everything is possible, all doors are open,” he said.

  5. An Islamic community leader from Tampa, Fla., who’s been in touch with the families of the two detained college students, told The Post and Courier that Megahed and Mohamed are not troublemakers and that they a were simply on a weekend trip to North Carolina.

    Ahmed Bedier, executive director of the Tampa chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil rights organization for Muslims, said family members have told him they think the materials were leftover fireworks Megahed kept in his trunk since July 4.

    “Both of them are really naïve kids,” Bedier said.

    He said Megahed is a permanent legal resident of the United States and Mohamed was the passenger. Mohamed’s legal status is not known.

  17. As Michael E. O'Hanlon and Kenneth M. Pollack put it in their New York Times op-ed on July 30:

    Viewed from Iraq, where we just spent eight days meeting with American and Iraqi military and civilian personnel, the political debate in Washington is surreal. . . . Here is the most important thing Americans need to understand;

    We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms. As two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration's miserable handling of Iraq, we were surprised by the gains we saw and the potential to produce not necessarily "victory" but a sustainable stability that both we and the Iraqis could live with.


    What's more, the public debate will move from a referendum on Bush's conduct of the war over the past four years to a discussion of the choices ahead, as Gen. Petraeus's testimony in September draws near. The public will finally have to consider seriously the implications of giving up on Iraq, as opposed to supporting the continued prosecution of a war we might well win.

  18. As projected last January, the US miltary could supply a higher level of security then they had.

    That keeping the force on the battlefield, instead of withdrawing to Base, after each raid would be tactically successful.

    But it is of little matter, if the majority of the factions in Iraq are merely reinforcing and waiting.
    Which they are. Both sides with US assistance. Those 100,000 weapons the US lost, in the hands of the Shia militias, more than likely.

    Arming the 1920's just evens out the local balance of terror.

  20. Pat Lang:

    Bernard Fall was perhaps the greatest historian of the era of counterinsurgency. He was French, a veteran of World War Two and acted as a consultant/professor for the US Army in the sixties. I had the privilege of listening to him lecture at the US Army Special Warfare Center at Ft. Bragg in 1964.

    I watched Fall write his formula for counterinsurgency on a pad or blackboard or something. I have written of this before, but repeat the message here for a purpose. Fall's formula was: CI (counterinsurgency) = PA (political action) + CO (counter-guerrilla operations) + CA (civic action).

    Today on Fox News Sunday (FNS) I watched O'Hanlon and Pollack seek to elaborate the perforce abbreviated message of their NY Times oped last week.

    What they said (again) was that during their recent trip to Iraq they saw a pronounced improvement in security in Anbar brought on by greatly improved CO (counter-guerrilla operations) in both Anbar and in parts of the big towns. In Anbar the tactic of helping the Sunni Arab tribals clear their zones (dirah) of AQinM interference has prospered thus far. It would be interesting to know who the Americans are who are "brokering" the deals. In the big towns the sheer military weight of increased US combat forces is "holding down" the level of visible warfare among the factions. Continued success in this "urban" effort will depend on the possibility of transferring responsibility for these newly quiescent neighborhoods to the Iraqi security forces. So far, that has not been possible in more than a few places.

    They both said that for them success in Iraq now amounts to enough stabilization to allow our orderly departure.

    Towards the end of the FNS interview both men said that in the part of Fall's formulation that concerns PA (political action) there has been NO, ZERO, NOTHING. In other words the Maliki government has not made any progress at all towards national reconciliation. They further say that they see no prospect for movement towards national reconciliation in Iraq under Malikis rule but that it would be folly for the United States to attempt to cause his removal.

    In other words, they and I have much the same opinion. People on the left who greeted the NY Times oped with great agitation were mistaken in their reaction. The piece and the FNS interview today should be seen as deserved praise for long awaited comprehension of "this kind of war" by the US military. At the same time the esoteric meaning (attention straussians) of their exposition is that without an Iraqi government that wants inter-communal reconciliation there will be no peace in Iraq. pl

    PS. Bernard Fall died in Vietnam, in the field with US troops in 1967. He stepped on a mine in the Street Without Joy.

  21. Assessing the causes of the problem, congressional investigators cited the Pentagon's inadequate accountability procedures and "the lack of a fully developed network to distribute the equipment."

    Deputy Assistant Defence Secretary Mark Kimmitt said in response that the Department of Defence was "reviewing policies and procedures to ensure US-funded equipment reaches the intended Iraqi security forces under the Iraq programme."

    But both the GAO and the Pentagon have sidestepped the larger question of what has happened to the unaccounted weapons-and whether some of them could have found their way into the hands of anti-American insurgents.

  30. Let's keep prosecuting our own. See how long we get applicants for the job.

    "Judge rules Border Patrol agent to stand trial on lesser homicide charge
    ARTHUR H. ROTSTEIN

    BISBEE, Ariz. — A Border Patrol agent accused of fatally shooting a Mexican who sneaked into the U.S. will stand trial on a second-degree murder charge, a judge ruled Monday as he dropped a more serious count.

    Agent Nicholas Corbett was booked on first-degree murder in March, but the prosecutor took an unusual route when he asked a judge, rather than a secretive grand jury, to rule on the charge to keep the high-profile case open to the public.

    Cochise County Justice Court Judge David Morales' ruling came after a hearing involving testimony from 10 witnesses, including two brothers of the victim.

    Morales said prosecutors had not proven premeditation in the shooting death of Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera.

    "We just put the evidence on and let the judge decide," Gerald Till, a deputy prosecutor, said of the charge.

    Corbett, 41, who claims he shot Dominguez because he was threatening to throw a rock at him, declined to comment on the ruling. One of his lawyers, Sean Chapman, said "This is what was expected."

    Dominguez, his two brothers and a friend crossed the border near Naco but spotted the Border Patrol agent on Jan. 12. They attempted to evade capture as they ran toward the Mexican border a few hundred yards away but were stopped by Corbett.

    Corbett drove his Border Patrol vehicle in a circle around them to cut them off.

    Rene Dominguez Rivera, 21; Jorge Dominguez Rivera, 24; his girlfriend Sandra Vidal Guzman, 20, each testified Corbett had jumped out of his vehicle ordered the four to the ground.

    Francisco Dominguez did not immediately comply but as he started to kneel, Corbett hit him on the side of his neck, pushed him downward and his handgun discharged.

    Defense attorneys tried to expose inconsistencies in the witnesses' accounts, but each held firm that Francisco Dominguez did not try to throw a rock or make any threatening gestures when he was shot.

    Corbett will be arraigned on the new charge later, but remains free on his own recognizance."

    Nothing public has been heard from Beauchamp since his statement standing by his stories, which was posted on the New Republic website at 6:30 a.m. on July 26.

  35. Apropos Doug and Sam, Above:

    Foreign student numbers increase in US

    The number of foreign students accepted by US graduate schools has risen for a third consecutive year, according to a survey to be released on Tuesday.

    Many in academia say the 8 per cent rise is a clear sign that US government efforts to improve the tedious student visa process are working.

    The number of foreign students applying to US graduate schools dropped in 2004 and 2005 after the state department imposed restrictions on students seeking visas in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11 2001.

    The drops fed fears in industry and academia that US competitiveness would eventually be harmed.

    The US State Department responded by revamping its policy, extending visas for science and engineering students and increasing staff levels to shorten visa processing times.

    The survey found that nearly a third of US graduate schools have established joint or dual-degree programmes with international universities
    – an indication of the growing globalisation of higher education.

  48. MIAMI (Associated Press) -- Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega is a step closer to facing money-laundering charges in France after a federal judge approved his extradition Tuesday, less than two weeks before the end of his U.S. prison sentence for drug racketeering.

    Attorneys for the 73-year-old Noriega vowed to continue fighting for his return home to Panama, but they have now lost before two judges. Noriega is scheduled to be released Sept. 9 from a federal prison outside Miami where he has been held since his 1992 conviction.

    "I can assure this court and everyone else: You haven't heard the end of this," Noriega attorney Frank Rubino said Tuesday at a hearing.

    Noriega was captured after a 1989 U.S. military invasion of Panama designed in part to drive him from power because of his links to Colombian drug lords.

    The extradition approval by U.S. Magistrate Judge William Turnoff came four days after a higher-ranking judge rejected Noriega's claim that his status as a prisoner of war entitled him under Geneva Conventions rules to immediate repatriation to Panama after his release.


    Gotta figure, if he gets to Panama, he's gonna die. Young Torrijos has a blood debt to collect. The thinking there was that Noriega killed his father, Omar, "The Bull". Taking down his plane with some surface to air capacity. Just like the two O-2s that fell from the sky in the months immediately prior to Omar's death.

    The government of Panamanian President Martin Torrijos issued a statement saying that if Noriega is extradited to France, it will send an immediate request to the French government for his extradition to Panama.

  49. Can We Win the Ideological War?
    ...
    Here we come to our dilemma. Devout Muslims in Islamic lands do not believe people should be free to blaspheme or insult the Prophet. They do not believe all religions are equal or should be treated equally. They do not believe Christians should be free to preach in their lands. The punishment for those who do, and for those who convert from Islam in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia as well as Iran, is death.

    Moreover, in every Middle East country, Islamic parties have broadening support. In free elections in Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, and Iran, Islamists made gains or racked up victories. In Turkey, a moderate Islamic party just won national power.

    It is Western secularism that is in retreat. It is our friends in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, the Gulf states, and Israel who seem most apprehensive about any more elections among the Arab masses. The Islamists seem to welcome them—and to succeed in them.
