Chavez, The Communist, The Drug King, The Warlord?
2008-03-03 15:35:00
Pal of Communist ic Cuba, the president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez seems to be eager to strart a conflict in South America. Mr. Chavez and his fellow comrade from Ecuador Rafael Correa are using a Colombia's legitimate fight against Farc against Colombia. For those who do not know Colombian forces managed to track and eliminate Colombian rebel leader Raul Reyes. It is well known fact that Mr. Chavez is a close buddy for Farc querillas and that both countries Venezuela and Ecuador are providing shelter for Farc querillas, so based on this background it is not suprise that Mr. Chavez was so eager to march his troops to the Colombian border line. It seems that Mr. Chavez and Correa are very much afraid that they would loose some major drug income if Colombia succeed to eliminate major Farc leaders. Venezuela's accusation that Colombia has violated Ecuador's sovereignty is just a lousy attempt to find out some kind of excuse to start war. Hopefully these communist boys don't start a co...

Assassination of Benazir Bhutto
2007-12-27 23:05:00
Unfortunately it was not any suprise news that Bhutto who was the leading Prime Ministerial contender in Pakistan was killed today. Her assassination is very bad news for Pakistan and its democratic development, but it can be also extremely bad news for Pakistan's surrounding countries.Everybody are asking right now one question: Who was behind the murder? It is easy to blame Al Qaeda or its supporters of this political murder. It would not be suprise if AQ is behind the murder, but anyone who understand something about Pakistan's political situation can understand that there are also other parties who are at least glad that Bhutto is now gone. Regardless of is AQ, its supporters or someone else behind the Bhutto's murder, the situation is that Pakistan's political development is going backwards and so does the battle on terror.

Professor Pillar, let me first thank you for this opportunity to conduct this interview. Professor Pillar, you are widely know as one of the leading experts of counterterrorism issues in the world, but lets rewind to your early career. Tell us about your early adult years; you served in the U.S. Army first. When did you decided to join the army and what kind of memories do you have from those army days?I was commissioned as an army officer through the Reserve Officer Training Corps when I graduated from college. Conscription was in effect at the time, although as it turned out I probably would not have been drafted. I served almost a year in Vietnam during the last part of the U.S. war there, and the rest of two years of active duty at posts in the United States. Probably the strongest memories are from the last few days I was in Vietnam. This was at the conclusion of the 60-day period for withdrawing the remainder of U.S. troops in 1973 under the terms of the peace agreement re...
