Fatah: Exerting Genuine Effort for Peace
7 February 2009, Jamil Hamad contributed to this report.
Peace in an extensive conflict – ridden parts of the globe entail considerable efforts among those involved in the conflict. The participants in the conflict would most often need to set aside differences, compromise certain goals and try to get along with deeply rooted enemies. In the Israeli – Palestinian conflict the various factions representing the Palestinians would need to deal with Israel and in turn Israel need to deal with the Palestinians. This is not in terms of military action but rather in an effort to resolve the conflict without force of arms as the tool for resolution.
What is Fatah?
Recently a major faction in the Palestinian side of the conflict indicated its support for efforts to establish a lasting, stable and viable peace between the disputing sides. Fatah in fact seems to be taking initiative to show Israel that it is sincere in its attempt to build peace. What is Fatah? It is major Palestinian political party and the largest faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization. It is mainly nationalist, although not predominantly socialist. Its main goal is complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence. However, despite its political inclinations and orientation, it openly supports reaching out to Israel in an effort to broker a peace with it.
An Effort to End Conflict
Fatah is generally considered to have had a strong involvement in revolutionary struggles in the past and has maintained a number of militant/terrorist groups. Unlike its rival, Islamist faction Hamas, Fatah is not currently regarded as a terrorist organization by any government. This makes them a viable party to any international effort to end the Israel – Palestine Conflict. Organizations that collectively lead the Palestinians are part of why the conflict has not ended. They prove difficult to negotiate with and are usually keen on setting aside diplomacy for suicide – bombings and the like. If ever the fighting would stop, fundamentally, there should be an internal effort to shift efforts, from armed means to diplomatic means.
This would create a ripple effect that would reverberate among the various factions of the Palestinian Organization and at least make them consider making peace with Israel. Israel actually is able to turn to negotiations rather easily in comparison to the Palestinians. But as we said the idea is for genuine attempts to attain peace to come from, and be pursued simultaneously by, all parties in the conflict.
Fatah’s Example to Pursue Peace
If differences will not be set aside over the course of the conflict the opportunity for peace will dissolve little by little until none is left to build peace on. Moreover conflicts like that of Israel and Palestine would likely spill out of and involve and entangle other countries. Notable in all of this is that Fatah, despite its inclinations, has put out an effort to set that aside and support the pursuit of peace. This not only assures Israel that negotiations are possible but also that not all Palestinian factions are in favor of resolving the conflict via force.
Sectarian Violence in Indonesia
Saturday, 18 August, 2009, 17:10 GMT 18:10 UK
In the news in Indonesia, a minority Islamic sect has been subjected to a series of attacks by the majority and is itself preparing for war. Sectarian violence and/or sectarian strife is violence inspired by sectarianism, that is, between different sects of one particular mode of thought/ideology or within a nation/community, with the division not necessarily based upon religion. Religious segregation often plays a role in sectarian violence. Sectarian violence differs from the concept of race riot. It may involve the dynamics of social polarization, the balkanization of a geographic area along the lines of self identifying groups, and protracted social conflict. The sectarian conflagration witnessed in the Islamic world today confirms the fact that there is nothing worse than the clash of civilizations, save for the clash between Islamic sects.
Sectarian Unrest is Spreading
These clashes receded partially, and wise people from both the Islamic and Christian Western civilizations were successful in containing it, especially after the successful visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Turkey recently, where he offered prayers while facing towards the Ka’aba in Makkah, side by side with Muslim worshipers. However, the sectarian unrest is spreading through a wide landmass stretching from Indonesia in the east to Algeria in the west, passing through Pakistan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Sudan, Iraq and the holiest land in Islam as well. The clashes between various Islamic sects are deadlier, bloodier and more dangerous than the clash of civilizations. And despite the existence of one God, one Prophet and one Quran, we find Muslims divided into various sects, groups and movements. Their animosities and division have increased with the blatant use of arms and ammunition.
The Clash of Civilizations
The clash of civilizations was a mere notion, a theory that was open for debate and academic discussions. The clash of Islamic sects, on the other hand, is more than a clash of words; it is a real clash and not a theoretical one, which can be dismissed easily. As Robert Kennedy once said: “When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies, to be met not with cooperation but with conquest; to be subjugated and mastered. We learn, at the last, to look at our brothers as aliens, men with whom we share a city, but not a community; men bound to us in common dwelling, but not in common effort.
We learn to share only a common fear, only a common desire to retreat from each other, only a common impulse to meet disagreement with force. For all this, there are no final answers.” This is Indonesia’s challenge, for an Islamic community to come to terms with its Islamic sectarian differences that lead to violence.
Plans for Comprehensive Development of the Millennium Declaration of 2000 is Meeting Obstacles
Photo by Pavel Rahman
In the Millennium Declaration of 2000, world leaders set forth a new vision for humanity. Leaders committed themselves ‘to spare no effort to free our fellow-men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty’ in accordance with the plans for comprehensive development of the Millennium Declaration of 2000. We must recognize the nature of the global trust at stake and the danger that many developing countries’ hopes could be irredeemably pierced if even the greatest anti-poverty movement in history is insufficient to break from ‘business as usual’. Are we on course to look back, in 2015, and say that no effort was spared?” The same goals and planned efforts are supposed to be the goals as well as long-term objectives for countries as well as the regional organizations. But are these goals slowly being met? Is there any significant change as to the low quality of life of the bulk of mankind?
Long-term Alleviation of Hunger
Meaningful long-term alleviation of hunger is rooted in the alleviation of poverty, as poverty leads to hunger. World hunger is a terrible symptom of world poverty. If efforts are only directed at providing food, or improving food production or distribution, then the structural root causes that create hunger, poverty and dependency would still remain. While resources and energies are deployed to relieve hunger through technical measures such as improving agriculture, and as important as these are, inter-related issues such as poverty mean that political solutions are likely required as well for meaningful and long-term hunger alleviation.
Interconnectedness of Globalization
Behind the increasing interconnectedness promised by globalization are global decisions, policies, and practices. These are typically influenced, driven, or formulated by the rich and powerful. These can be leaders of rich countries or other global actors such as multinational corporations, institutions, and influential people. In the face of such enormous external influence, the governments of poor nations and their people are often powerless. As a result, in the global context, a few get wealthy while the majority struggle.
Lapses in the Development Goals of the Asia – Pacific Region
The latest estimates on poverty 93 per cent of the population of the developing world are impoverished. Estimated 72 million children of primary school age are not in school, 57 percent of them are girls. Changes in the levels of child mortality also show wide differentials according to social-economic status. In most countries that have made substantial reductions in child mortality in recent years, the largest changes were observed among children living in the richest 40 per cent of those living in urban areas, or whose mothers have some education. Recently, UN discovered that there are significant lapses in the development goals of the Asia – Pacific Region, particularly in the country of Bangladesh. After all no comprehensive program can address the complex nature of under development and socio – economic poverty. Moreover, the goals set for the region merely adopted in part the Millennium development goals but also has lapses in terms of how it comprehensively approaches the problem. These lapses though they may be solvable that does not make the goals more attainable.

De Lima the New Vanguard of Justice
Uploaded on April 26, 2009, by Roebot
Too much and for too long in the aspect of Justice, Public Accountability and sense of duty to the people are sacrificed for personal interest, material things and mediocrity in public service. There is the culture of impunity in the government. Self – interests pervades all levels to the point that the public good is sacrificed. Atrocity to the state and crime against its people are allowed to proliferate. At the center of this are the values of those in government; our so called leaders and officials. They lack of the necessary attributes has undermined the government and made it incapacitated in dealing with the most pressing concerns of the people it serves.
Government and Country Are At a Cross-Road
Our government and country are at a cross – roads. The government stands at a nexus. This the ultimate test of our government. This is the moment of absolute crisis. It is in this moment that the moral fiber, political will and social transcendence of government will be tested. It is said that when conditions and circumstances when they are at the worst the socio – psychological forces that have governed human society for millennial would ultimately create the conditions wherein a select few individuals excel, transcend personal limits and rise to undo all the evil that consumes the society they are in. Solon rescued Athens from the chaos of lawlessness, Caesar reformed Rome, Miyamoto Musashi attained a level of self focus unlike any other and many others of the same prominence occur in history. Each thrust upon the center stage of their time. Each called to set aside the realities of their age to bring forth the values that were on the verge of being lost.
Justice Secretary Leila M. DeLima Reverses Decision
It is said that the overwhelming tide of chaos, decay and degradation are undone at the moment of their strongest. Recently Justice Secretary Leila M. de Lima reversed the decision of her predecessor clearing officials involved in human trafficking. This may be a small matter when viewed from the broadness of the entire government. But like the stone dropped into a pond the ripples it makes far exceed the actual size of such stone.
Her effort is the first signs that despite the corruption, insensitivity to the genuine public good and irresponsibility towards the people there are those who are prepared to defy such. This sends the message that not all will stand by and allow the forces of discord and strife to sweep away everything in government. Her actions, despite its simplicity, would send ripples throughout government. This in turn would serve as the necessary catalyst for reform and change. This is the key to renewing government. When a lone public official chooses to rise to the call of the times as a new vanguard of justice then inspires others and with a social ripple effect the government’s decadence, corruption and incapacity is bit by bit undone. This sets the stage for renewing government and restoring it to its true self.
California’s New Justice: Does the Title Fit the Holder
Judicial Council of California
The role of the judiciary is to decide cases and controversies between adversarial parties, including the government. Through the concept of stare decisis judicial decisions in U.S. jurisdictions can act as binding precedent for subsequent decisions. In most cases, when an appellate court makes a decision it not only decides who wins the specific case, but also provides a detailed written opinion that explains the basis for the court’s decision to guide lower courts in handling future cases. Every level of the federal courts has the power to interpret the federal Constitution, and federal laws and regulations. The courts also exercise judicial review over federal statutes and agency actions, and determine the constitutionality of federal and state laws. To the extent any statute or agency action is found to be unconstitutional, it is invalid. Federal courts also interpret federal legislation and federal agency rules and decisions. This is the administration of justice. And those who head this and govern this arena are said the intellectual and moral vanguards of the justice system. This refers to the head of the judiciary – the justices.
Tani Cantil-Sakauye as the Head of the California Judiciary
Each state has its own judiciary that would do the same role as the national judiciary. Recently in the State of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declares Tani Cantil-Sakauye as the head of the California judiciary and the California Supreme Court. She is said to be a moderate Republican better known within judicial circles for her skills as an administrator than for legal scholarship or any particular ideological leanings. The question on everyone’s mind is that is she qualified, is she an effective response to the call of the times and is she fit to head the judiciary? To better answer these queries let us look into the current state of the U. S. Justice system.
The US justice system so racked by change and descent, it is consumed by debilitating issues and burdened by grave national issues and is unraveling at the edges. What would be the most potent response to these realities? The answer is a background sensitive to all these and yet with an intellectual and moral core that would enable the person to act sensitively, justly and reasonably. The question should be, is she such a person?
Character, Background and Work Establishes the Choice
Her character, background and work in the judiciary are a testament to all of these. This establishes that the choice making her the head of the judiciary is an answer to the call of the times and a move to address the adversities of the American Legal System and by extension the American government. A justice is torn between the demand to must work with the reality of his or her time while struggling to defend the established legal ideals and doctrines of the law and its foundations. A justice is to balance the ever shifting social climate with the precepts that preserves law, the state and government. These are all superhuman demands but attainable by human character.
New Strategy for North Korea: Striking at the Snake’s Head
AP Photo/Paul J. Richards / Jul 21, 2010 / Seoul, South Korea
By reviewing the entire history as to the international effort to contain the belligerence of North Korea we see that almost everything has been tried. Many strategies and approaches have been employed and yet North Korea remains adamant in its policies and impervious to foreign pressure. The concern of the international committee is growing due to the continuous development of North Korea of nuclear weapons and it’s outrageous repression of its people. In fact most if not all major nations on earth pursue the improvement of North Korea’s compliance with the former’s call for dismantlement of the nuclear program and the government undergoing significant reform.
The Regime of Kim Jung II
The regime of Kim Jung II have remain unbowed and still in power. The question is what has been ignored in previous strategy towards it? What should be the goal or objective of any and all effort to deal with North Korea? By looking at how the regime in North Korea operates it is a fact that the said regime works or is propelled forward by the very will and capability of its elite. In the past sanctions have been imposed on North Korea to the detriment of the people even though it was not them that are at fault. The logic was they allowed their government to develop into such a monstrosity so it was they we sanction. But the question is does their government even care?
The most viable way of looking at the social setup of North Korea is that though there are the people that support the base of the regime of Kim Jung II, there are the North Korean elite, the rich and wealthy who in fact support his regime. In recent news, the United States, through Hilary Clinton when she recently traveled to South Korea, suggested a new approach. To undermine the regime in North Korea you move against and sanction the elite. You freeze their assets and the like. By sanctioning them you undermine the support base which keeps the regime of Kim Jung II in power.
Targeting the Snake’s Head
This is a very viable move. Since this has never been tried in the past this could in effect soften North Korea and make it pliable to international pressure. Efforts in the past hurt all of Korea’s people to the point that it would suffer almost severe humanitarian difficulties. But by targeting the snake’s head, the elite which are known to support the unruly regime in North Korea you minimize the damage to the people.
This is a good strategy in the sense that it minimizes the negative effect on the people who are in no way responsible in keeping their repressive government in power yet they pay for such when you have sanctions in the past. Now you actually and directly target those who are the real lifeline of the regime and the source of its continuity.
Cambodia’s Closure as to its Past of Atrocities
Feb 23, 2009 at 12:42 PM
In the news U.N.-backed war crimes tribunal would have to hand down a verdict in the first trial of a senior member of the Khmer Rouge regime that turned Cambodia into a vast killing field three decades ago. The said court finds Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch guilty of the atrocities he was a part of in the past. In revisiting the tribunal that handed down the decision Jurisdiction for such crimes can be explicitly ceded to these tribunals. They are trying to achieve a justice and closure that will benefit that entire nation after such awful crimes have been committed. However, it is also argued that closure is the last thing brought by tribunals. They alienate large swathes of the nation, and turn people against the new government who are seen as “collaborators” with foreign imperialists. They exacerbate tension.
The Need for Closure
The decision reflects the idea that if you commit serious crimes you will be punished. If action is not taken against war criminals that gives a green light for more crimes to be perpetrated. In Cambodia we are certain that atrocities have grave consequences. Closure comes with the decision. But what is closure? It refers to a conclusion to a traumatic event or experience in the past. Need for closure is a phrase used by psychologists to describe an individual’s desire for a firm solution as opposed to enduring ambiguity. A nation is no different. For Cambodia the horror of its past has troubled it too long. And has hung like a great cloud barring its progress and the healing of the wounds inflicted upon its culture and national psyche.
Reaction to the Decision is Mixed
Reaction to the decision is mixed since the 35-year sentence given to Kaing Guek Eav – also known as Duch – had been whittled down to just 19 after taking into account time already served and other factors. That effectively means the 67-year-old could one day walk free. This validates the difficulty faced by war crimes tribunals that they are always torn between humanism for the accused and the cry for vengeance of the victims. A tribunal like this have to balance all concerned to genuinely attain justice. No one can dispute the enormity of such crimes. Fetishising and symbolizing disapproval is damaging and will most likely reopen old wounds in societies. This is the consequence for all that have used Tribunals to deal with the atrocities in the past, including Cambodia. There is always a trade-off before justice and security; where peace can be secured by reconciliation rather than recrimination it should be.
There is always a backlash since some who have been more maligned would want harsher punishment but the court has to give a judgment that caters to all. An understanding of this fact would in effect make the decision more acceptable. This would of course necessitate that the emotions of victims that demand vengeance be first quelled.
Privatization of Water: An Unsound Policy
Contractor: Development Alternatives Inc. Alma D. Porciuncula, Chief of Party Unit 2401, Prestige Tower F. Ortigas Jr. Road Ortigas Center, Pasig City
In third world countries where the population has poor access to certain needs such as to potable water such is no longer just a resource rather it becomes a strategic asset or resource.
Resource or an Asset?
True that the definition of strategic assets pertain to resources that are essential to and are the cornerstone of the economy but for developing nations this pertains to resource essential for the survival of the people and of the well being of the nation. Such is potable water that it is in the context of the Philippines treated as a strategic resource or asset.
In a recent report it is said that the water supplying system that has been privatized will be taken under government control. This is in fact a main agenda of the new administration to correct the error of the policy that has access to, distribution of and maintenance of water systems be run by the care of the private sector.
Unburden the Government of Managing Various Utilities
Privatization was the move of the previous administration to unburden the government as to managing various utilities – water works included. This is a common trend in developing countries where the private sector is made steward of various public assets such as utilities. But is this something that should be continued in the Philippine context? This does mean that the private sector in the Philippines is not reliable or capacitated to manage these utilities. In this specific situation water is so vital and the people so dependent on it that it is paramount that government be the one to manage water systems in the Philippines.
The Government’s Role for the Welfare of the People
It must be noted that utilities are not just services, but they are also establishments that are impressed with a public character. This means that since the public’s welfare is tied into these establishments the government’s role in this is to directly manage, oversee and control utilities so as to protect public interest in utilities. This is comparable to the stewardship of the government of strategic assets that are essential to the economy. This is more than that since this involves a resource that is directly related to the well – being of the people.
U. S. Security: A Problem of Information of Dissonance
Author Paul Morse, This image is a work of an employee of the Executive Office of the President of the United States, taken or made during the course of the person's official duties. As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image is in the public domain.
The United States have prided itself to possess one of the most if not the most significant security establishments in existence. It is said to be so secure that it is virtually invulnerable to any and all forms of attack. It has many structures and mechanisms for national, domestic and external security. However, the lesson taken from the September 11 attacks were that the weakness of the U. S. system was not in its structures but it is in its receptivity to the information it had access to.
What is Dissonance?
It is not clear as to whether clues as to the pending 9-11 attack were ignored due to the lack of substantial material to back it. Perhaps it is that the myth of U. S. invincibility that has distorted the point of view of the U.S. including its own security agencies they are deluded to think that such an attack is unlikely. This phenomenon is known as information dissonance. When one is insensitive to the information despite its obvious merit and reliability is acted upon or worse no precaution is taken to at least objectively deal with it. This information is dissonance. The 9 – 11 commission cited that the U. S. had already tall – tell signs of such an attack but did nothing. What followed was a rude awakening much like the U. S. got when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
U.S Has Added New Features to their Security
In a world which is built around the improbable, impossible and unthinkable the healthy and sane attitude would be to treat most if not all pieces of information as to national security as alarming and reliable. Not just set it aside and say it is nothing. Recently it was reported that the United States have currently a significant number of additional features as to their security including a new secondary system to support and backup the main system. But the question is will this system be a breakthrough and deviation from the flawed system that failed to respond to the 9 – 11 threat before it was actualized.
No Country is Invincible or Immune to Attack
The answer to this run as part of the United States background its cultural and social setup which indirectly propagate and make even as part of policy. Culture and Social circumstanced of a country is dynamic and the latter’s efforts and processes must adapt and shift to meet the demands of the 21st century. The inability to recognize and come to terms with reality will often result to catastrophe. The rule is this no country is invincible and immune to attack. The threats are real and if they are not then at least you erred on the side of caution.
Matters of national security must always be a thing of concern and to an extent a subject of paranoia. New or old security system so long as there is information dissonance for whatever reasons the threat will always be actualized.
Iran’s Critical Unveiling of New Type of Missile
Reuters and other foreign media are subject to Iranian restrictions on leaving the office to report, film or take pictures in Tehran. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (R), Iranian army's joint chief of staff, General Hassan Firoozabadi (2nd R) and Iran's Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi (3rd R) attend the unveiling ceremony of a long-range drone, the Karrar, in Tehran August 22, 2010.
Nuclear power is the world’s largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants produce no controlled air pollutants, such as sulfur and particulates, or greenhouse gases. The use of nuclear power in place of other energy sources helps to keep the air clean, preserve the Earth’s climate, avoid ground-level ozone formation and prevent acid rain. Nuclear power has important implications for our national security. Inexpensive nuclear power, in combination with fuel cell technology, could significantly reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Today the rhetoric is more muted, but nuclear power is still touted as a savior of sorts: it will save us from global warming, help us eliminate nuclear weapons and meet the world’s burgeoning energy needs.
Nuclear Power Generation
Nuclear power generation does emit relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). The emissions of green house gases and therefore, the contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is therefore, relatively little. This technology is readily available, it does not have to be developed first. Lastly, it is possible to generate a high amount of electrical energy in one single plant. On the other hand, the problem of radioactive waste is still an unsolved one. The waste from nuclear energy is extremely dangerous, and it has to be carefully looked after for several thousand years. There are high risks involved. Despite a generally high security standard, accidents can still happen. It is technically impossible to build a plant with 100% security. A small probability of failure will always last. The consequences of an accident would be absolutely devastating both for a human being as for the nature.
The energy source for nuclear energy is Uranium. Uranium is a scarce resource, its supply is estimated to last only for the next 30 to 60 years depending on the actual demand. The time frame needed for formalities, planning and building of a new nuclear power generation plant is in the range of 20 to 30 years in the western democracies. In other words: It is an illusion to build new nuclear power plants in a short time. Lastly, during the operation of nuclear power plants, radioactive waste is produced, which in turn can be used for the production of nuclear weapons. In addition, the same know-how used to design nuclear power plants can, to a certain extent, be used to build nuclear weapons.
Negative Aspect of Nuclear Technology
In the context of Iran the last negative aspect of nuclear technology is most controversial. Given Iran’s policies and stance in the realm of international politics most states are very concerned about Iran developing nuclear technology. This concern is heightened even further as Iran recently unveils and starts to operate its own nuclear power plant. The fear of states around the world of Iran’s pursuit of nuclear technology is made reality. Iran claims it is for energy purposes, but you cannot discount the weapon, military and political value of possessing nuclear technology. All that can be done is to wait and see where Iran’s nuclear capability will lead to.
