In the News III

The Problem with Human Rights Watch aka (Hypocrisy Forum)
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=24244
Interesting points here on the biased nature of the Human Rights Watch Report.

Conservatives lead Labour in the Polls

My only fear is that Labour will ditch Blair and lean left to pick up Lib-Dem voters. This will signal a return to the Politics of the 80s. Not sure I trust Gordon Brown in the War against Terror.

South Africa: The Zuma Trial

If Zuma falls will the ANC divide as well?
Zuma's supporters could join forces with Inkatha (both Zulu).
These are not easy days for Mebeki. His reactionary poilicy on AIDS is under more criticism now than ever (and rightfully so).

It seems that no election in Mexico ever goes smoothly. When Carlos Salinas took power in 1988 he too faced charges of winning through a rigged elections.

France 3 Italy 1
French finally have something to cheer about.
