In Groundhog Day, political left act as if humanity is stuck in a time trap
By Edward Turner
Posted: October, 2007
"Groundhog Day," the 1993 film, is an allegory for the political left. Egotistical television meteorologist (Bill
Murray) wakes up every morning to find it's a repeat of the same day. Its relevance: Under Hitler, Stalin, Idi
Amin, Pol Pot and Mao (among others) millions died because scholars lied. Today the oxygen of politics –
socialism – binds anew to Islamism, environmentalism, and trans-nationalism.

state of affairs in the world body
By Molly Nixon
Posted: Sep 17, 2006
In The Parliament of Man, Paul Kennedy helps his
reader understand the mindset of the UN Charter

always sudden and violent
By Antonio Fabrizio
Posted: Oct 22, 2006
The movie Walk on water , by Israeli Eytan Fox, is a
story of friendship, differences and tolerance. By
connecting people across nationalities, gender and
histories, it gives a key message to our era: moral
revolutions are not always sudden and violent; they
may take years.

another story waiting to be written
By Krzys Wasilewski
Posted: Sep 5, 2006
Somalia: a fallen state, a terrorist haven, a hell on
earth. But behind all these slogans, what do we really
know about this country in the Horn of Africa? Very
little, one could answer after reading Jonathan
Stevenson's Losing Mogadishu: Testing U.S. Policy in
Somalia.

Confrontational ideologies take root
amongst the marginalized
By Hania Mourtada
Posted: Aug 15, 2006
Most residents of the Middle East look at Israel as an
offensive state, not a self-protective one. They have
their suspicions concerning its long-term plans and
these suspicions are especially heightened with
talks of ''Islamic fascism'' a “new Middle East”
circulating around.
