Militarism: Empire and resistance Today
Over the last year, I have been preoccupied, as so many of us have, with one thing, Iraq. Iraq, as Bob Woodward puts it in his book Plan of Attack, has "sucked all the oxygen out of the system." It is the central event of our time, our Spanish Civil War, our Vietnam, and everything else seems to be put on hold both here and in other parts of the world until there is a just and decisive resolution to the terrible situation created by the US invasion and occupation of that country.

Globalization of the Environment
The effect of the New World Order, currently known as globalization, on the different aspects of human life and the future of earth has expanded. The environment of the planet has not been an exception: this vital determinant of the future of life on earth has become dependant, like all other aspects of life, on the will of the big powers, especially the advanced industrial ones that have been able to turn this issue from a scientific to a political one. The environmental future of earth seems to become in the interest of those countries, as an expression of their domination over the different aspects of life at the international level and forcing all other countries, small or big, to face this challenge related to the cleanliness of the earth's atmosphere and human health.
