Former President Carter Blasts Bush
AP
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (May 19) – Former President Carter says President Bush’s administration is “the worst in history” in international relations, taking aim at the White House’s policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.
The criticism from Carter, which a biographer says is unprecedented for the 39th president, also took aim at Bush’s environmental policies and the administration’s “quite disturbing” faith-based initiative funding.
“I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history,” Carter told the Arkansas Democrat -Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper’s Saturday editions. “The overt reversal of America’s basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me.”

Hell, No – I Won’t Go!!!
by Edgar J. Steele
My name is Edgar J. Steele.
“Leave there. Leave there now. You don’t have a lot more time…” Thus went a recent email from an expatriate American correspondent, writing from his new home of many years in Moscow, Russia.
I think he is right. I – we, that is – don’t have much time left before the final crackdown comes. You know – the ultimate American police state. And, yes, it can get much worse. You have no idea.
Thus far, we have been complaining about the procedures, laws and bureaucracies being set into place. Just wait until they start to use them.

*Italian campus denies denier*
An Italian university shut down to prevent a lecture by a Holocaust denier.
The head of the University of Teramo, in central Italy, ordered the
shutdown Friday after it failed to dissuade Robert Faurisson from
appearing. Faurisson, who has been prosecuted in his native France for
arguing that the Nazi gas chambers were a myth, had been invited by a
history professor at the university.
Jewish groups said the invitation was unbecoming of a serious academic
institution.

Canada may supply Afghan military with Leopard tanks
KABUL, Afghanistan — Canada is in discussions with NATO to provide
Afghanistan’s fledgling army with Leopard tanks so it can better fight
insurgents.
Military officials say future plans call for the Afghan National Army
(ANA) to switch from its Soviet-designed equipment to gear that is more
compatible with the NATO nations fighting in this south Asia country.
Defence sources here confirm that Canada is interested in supplying some
of its older Leopard tanks to the Afghans and initial discussions have
begun on that potential deal.

VICTORIA — The B.C. representative for the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada has filed a human-rights complaint alleging a Victoria-based website and its editors, manager and directors “contrive to promote ongoing hatred affecting persons identifiable as Jews and/or as citizens of Israel.”
Eighteen articles allegedly containing anti-Semitic material have been removed by publisher Alan Rycroft from Peace, Earth and Justice News pending the outcome of an inquiry by the Canadian Human Rights Commission, and after the receipt of a letter from the commission detailing a complaint from B’nai Brith’s Harry Abrams.
“There are a number of calumnies that need to be exposed,” Mr. Abrams, a Victoria businessman, said in an interview. “The idea that Israel has no right to exist or that Israel is an apartheid state,” he cited as examples.
Mr. Rycroft said Mr. Abrams has quoted some of the articles out of context and that they are critical of the policies of the Israeli government and do not express hatred toward Jews.
A letter from the Canadian Human Rights Commission to Mr. Rycroft signed by Richard Tardif, deputy secretary-general, says the commission is required to address any complaint that alleges a violation of the Canadian Human Rights Act.

Immigration has tended to lower wages in both Canada and U.S.: study
Published: Friday, May 25, 2007 | 9:12 AM ET
Canadian Press
OTTAWA (CP) – A new study says immigration has tended to lower wages in both Canada and the United States, but it found the impact of immigrants on the wages of domestic workers depends to a large extent on the newcomers’ skills.
In 2001, about four in 10 people with more than an undergraduate degree were immigrants in Canada compared to about one in five in the United States.
That’s curtailed the earnings growth of the most-educated Canadians relative to the least-educated, while the opposite has happened in the United States.
A significantly higher proportion of immigrants to the United States have been much less skilled so these newcomers have depressed the earnings of low-paid Americans and increased the gap relative to the highest paid.
In Canada, immigration has tempered the gap between rich and poor but in the United States, it has exacerbated it.
Between 1980 and 2000, immigration increased the male labour force by 13.2 per cent in Canada and 11.1 per cent in the United States, while in Mexico the male workforce shrunk by 14.6 per cent.

Canada’s Unexplained Military Presence in Afghanistan
Disinformation Distorts Public Opinion Surrounding the Occupation
by Shane Ruttle Martinez / May 26th, 2007
Since Ottawa sent military support to the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan, Canadian public opinion has generally hovered in a state of confusion, with many people unsure of exactly why troops have been sent there in the first place.
Now, however, that befuddlement is steadily being combined, if not replaced, with a sense of distrust and agitation.
And understandably so. Canadians largely remain perplexed as to why Ottawa has sent troops to a war which many see as unjustified, and even more seem to feel is still unexplained. No solid reasoning has come from Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to elaborate on the very general statements released this far, which have simply declared that Canada is now “committed” to the war. Despite the rising military and civilian death toll overseas, he claims that Canada now has a “better military” from the experience.
