Clinton Urges Punishment For Syria Mar 1, 2005 10:55 am US/Eastern
In lambasting Syria, Clinton joined a growing chorus of officials in Washington urging the United States to take a harsher stance against that country following a Feb. 14 bombing in Beirut that killed the former premier of Lebanon.
Speaking to the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Clinton branded Syria
and Iran bad neighbors bent on upsetting the fragile balance in the
region. |

Hillary wants UN resolution on anti-Semitism WASHINGTON: Sen Hillary Clinton has told the Jewish
Council for Public Affairs that she wants a UN resolution against
international anti-Semitism. “We can track the increase in
anti-Semitism around the world, and we need to get people on the record
once and for all on where they stand,” Clinton told the Council at its
meeting here on Tuesday. She also expressed the need for US pressure on
Iran and Syria, and for the United Nations to do more to fight genocide
in Darfur, Sudan. Mrs Clinton appears to be preparing ground for a
possibly shot at the presidency in 2008. Daily

Senate Democrats signaled yesterday that they would continue their extra-Constitutional practice of filibustering judicial nominees to the federal circuit whom they judged to be unacceptable for ay reason. To remind you, this practice has no precedent whatsoever, and is distinctly different from home-state prerogatives or majority party prerogatives that have bottled up circuit nominees under both Democrats and Republicans. The filibuster of appeals court nominees is an aberration from past Senate practice, and has no support in Constitutional history, and all the weighty speeches of Leahy, Kennedy, Schumer, Boxer and Byrd cannot obscure that fact that they and their colleagues are engaged in a great destructive campaign against the Constitution, and in particular against its prohibition on religious tests.
The newspaper accounts of the Democrats' decision to continue their obstruction in the face of successive defeats in 2002 and 2004 on this very issue are here, here, here and here. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that a collision is coming. The blogosphere has posted extensively on the subject, as compiled in this Vox Blogoli symposium. There is no evidence of a desire within the GOP base for anything except a showdown, so a showdown will come, and the sooner the better. Democrats had a majority in the United States Senate when they began their campaign against center-right nominees. They are now in the minority, outnumbered 55 to 45. If they want to refight the campaigns of the last two cycles in 2006, that's great news for the GOP. But even if it was lousy politics, the Republicans have no choice but to fight hard for the president's Constitutional right to have his nominees come to an up-or-down vote.
This will require a ruling from the Chair that a filbuster is out-of-order on a judicial nominee, and a confirming vote by a simple majority.
So Majority Leader Frist needs to announce the schedule for the confrontation, and do so soon. It would be best if he brought all previously filibustered nominees to the floor at the same time, and approved them all at the same time after securing the rules change that is necessary. Then let Harry Reid and the rest of the dead-end Democrats begin their salt-in-the-fields campaign. Their collective judgment about what the American people think about such obstructionism will prove to be as accurate as their collective judgment about Iraq, John Kerry, and lower taxes.
As this confrontation unfolds, the GOP base will want to be able to endorse the decision to confront the Democrats, especially on their religious bigotry. Congressman Mark Kennedy (www.markkennedy06.com) is already campaigning for Minnesota's open Senate seat and will be a beneficiary of the desire to increase the GOP majority in the face of the Leahy-led extremism of the Democrats. Washington State's Dino Rossi and other leading GOP potential candidates in 2006 should get their internet sites up and ready to receive support as Kennedy has.
The GOP used to be known as "the stupid party." The competition for that title is the only thing the Republicans have lost to the Democrats in a long, long time.

The ideal way is to stir the soil after each rain as soon as it is fit to work, and to maintain a loose, mellow surface. In the middle West, the cultivation is most commonly done with a two-horse cultivator that finishes one row at a time. Whenever possible, two-horse cultivators should be used. One-horse cultivators were all right when men worked for fifty cents a day, but they should not now be used except for small areas on smeall farms, or where labor is cheap and inefficient, as in the South.

Most frequently it is racism which serves in the capacity of an idea dividing the 'lordly' group from the rest of society. Nationalism too, although this is not obligatory, for there can also be other ideas; religious, party-political, in fact whatever idea, so long as it permits the raising of insuperable barriers and qualifications for entry into the elite. Such 'lordly' groups strive to secure their well-being through the maintenance and exploitation of the rest of society in serfdom.
Economic imperialism is international monopolism, a purely bourgeois phenomenon. It conducts its struggle, not in society, but in a given branch of production, suppressing and subordinating competitors by means of economic pressure. It prefers not to clash with society.
It is a widespread mistake to ascribe war to economic imperialism. As a matter of fact, economic empires conduct only economic struggle; though it is true that they do not shrink from bribery, economic espionage and the use of state influence.
To conduct a war, the more backward state imperialism is needed. This is a relic, a dying survival of the past; as evidence of this take the self-destruction of the colonial empires. Yet it continues to remain a danger, even, to be honest, on the basis of socialism. This is why it is absolutely essential to deal the death blow to its organizing ideas.

In conditions of commodity-money relations, social position is wholely and completely defined by economic circumstances, that is the share of social wealth appropriated and distributed by the given class. The classes struggle amongst themselves over this.
The productive forces include three fundamental elements; the earth and all its natural wealth, the means of production, which are congealed, dead labour, and labour power. Historical changes in production methods and the corresponding changes in socio-economic formations are constrained by the level of organization and the organizing influence of these elements on society.
Apart from the classes in society, there are people who do not enter the production process in the capacity of owners, who do not contribute any of their property to social production. These can be divided into groups according to their social role; intelligentsia, army, lumpen proletariat and so forth. All of them, in one way or another, necessarily serve such classes as are able to allot to them the share of goods essential for their existence, i.e. chiefly such classes as are, at the current moment, in a commanding position. Despite the fact that their indirect influence on production can have colossal significance for society, despite the definite internal organization of such social groups, these groups do not play a decisive role in the development of society since they lack the organic unity of interests which is distinctive of a class. Historically, all attempts of such social groups to influence the development of society led, after the appropriation of some part of the productive forces, to their becoming a class or rising into the class which they were, perhaps unconsciously, serving. This is precisely why the social interests of such groups are always vague and do not form a socially significant unity.
The class policy of the victorious proletariat is defined, in the first place, by the circumstances under which they achieved victory. In other words, it is essential that the level of development of the productive forces and the corresponding class composition of society be taken into account.
As a rule, it is joint action of the proletariat and the peasants and petty bourgeois which result in the achievement of power. However, if in this union the proletariat does not have decisive supremacy, then the revolution will not have a socialist character, it will remain bourgeois-democratic.
The authentic victory of the proletariat, the socialist revolution, always means the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat. The union of the proletariat with the peasants and other layers of society can have no other content, for the term of this dictatorship, than the requirement of the proletariat for the functioning of these layers. This requirement lasts only for the period in which the wholeness of this complex of functions remains essential for the existence of society.
The policy of the proletariat in relation to other classes and layers is entirely dictated by the necessity of stimulating socially necessary activity in them; it is linked with the organizational forms borrowed from the capitalists of old, to the extent that this is necessary to secure the clarity and effectiveness of these stimuli. But simultaneously, the proletariat and its state must nurture those stimuli contradicting the obsolete forms; thus smashing them and directing the development of all layers into socialist channels.
Here the complete expropriation of the exploiters has a decisive significance; it destroys the psychological dependency of the individual's social position on capital, on his private property. But, having been once carried through to completion, the process of expropriation must not cease. Commodity-money relations inevitably give rise to a tendency to enrichment; and this means that the struggle against these tendencies, in all their modes of existence, is unavoidable. One of the most important tasks is the inculcation of the idea that personal wealth, however it is constituted, does not guarantee the consolidation of social position, but on the contrary, its instability. This objective, naturally, contradicts the construction of socialist society's most important relations on a purely bourgeois basis. For in retaining bourgeois relation, socialist society has no intention of increasing their stability; just as capitalism itself gives no guarantee against destruction or capitalist competition and so forth. At the same time, the retention of bourgeois relations demands of socialist society the drawing-up of the plan of attack against them.
These are the most complicated questions of the internal policy of the dictatorship of the proletariat. The movement of the whole of socialist society toward communism depends, to a very significant extent, on the correctness of their resolution at each historical step. And, in the first place, this is linked to the construction of relations with such classes as the peasants and such strata as the intelligentsia.

You see fellow Americans, unfortunate people like you have been brought up in a system where they have systematically been brainwashed. Brainwashed to believe that the U.S. is the best country in the world, although the U.S. is the ONLY industrialized country that does not have national health insurance. Americans are also by far the most heavily debted people in the world. The extremely high prices you pay for medical drugs cannot be matched by any other country that I know of. All this and much, much more, just so that the few filthy rich who run the U.S. can become even richer.
They brainwash you to believe that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction only so that they can invade that country, cut into pieces (Which will happen - you just wait and see) and rob them dry of their national resources to once again, become even wealthier! They brainwash you to believe that Afghanistan has to be "liberated" from the Talibans so that the "Good and humane" Americans can bring their "freedom and democracy" - But what they do not tell you is that for years they have wanted access to the biggest natural gas deposits in the world, located in Central Asia. The problem was that they couldn't build the pipes through "hostile" Iran... No, because then the Iranians would benefit from getting paid.... Why should the Iranians get paid when they have DARED to stand up against U.S. bullying, manipulation and war-mongering? The next best route to Iran was Afghanistan, but the Taleban were in power there, so they had to get rid of them and put a puppet regime which they could control and use in place of the Talibans.
Now they're brainwashing you to believe that Iran is a threat to the U.S. and world peace - they're heating the pan for the next slaughter.... And so little people like you really know of what is really happening! But Andrew, I pity you! Because things will not always continue this way. What goes around comes around.

The cotton crop is harvested by hand. Various attempts have been made, from time to time, to build a mechanical cotton-picker, and some very creditable machines have been produced, but they have not come into general use. The problem is a difficult one because of the leaves and trash that are more or less mixed with the cotton by the machine. Cotton-picking is the Negroe's holiday vacation, and where there is a large percentage of Colored people, there is usually little difficulty in getting sufficient labor to harvest the crop. They pass rapidly through the fields deftly picking the locks from the open bolls, and placing them in a long sack which they drag behind them. The cotton is usually picked by the hundredweight. An average worker can easily pick 200 pounds of cotton per day.

The IRA got $50 million, Arafat got $50 million and the American taxpayer got lots of Vasiline.

Sunday, February 20 brought a stunning convergence of stage-setting for things to come, in my view. The first and most profound of these developments to come on a single day was the thrust forward in the “Roadmap to Peace” efforts by the US and the EU.
President Bush spoke at Brussels, Belgium, the heart of European Union geopolitics and diplomacy. He minced no words in putting forward what should be the international community’s aim for the troubled Mid-East region, especially that involving Israel and the Palestinians.
A report from Prophecy Update, Monday February 21, 2005 gave a quick sketch of the president’s words to those gathered in the Brussels EU headquarters:
"Bush Says Mideast Peace Is Within Reach
US President George W. Bush says making peace between Israelis and Palestinians is a priority. ‘Our greatest opportunity, and our immediate goal, is peace in the Middle East,’ Bush said in a speech in Brussels, during a fence-mending trip to Europe. He called for a Palestinian state with enough "contiguous" territory to make it viable. ‘A state of scattered territories will not work,’ Bush said, vowing to ‘ raise the flag of a free Palestine.’ ‘The world must not rest until there is a just and lasting resolution to this conflict,’ he said.”
Another powerful prophetic dynamic was taking place in the same basic time frame. Preparations began in earnest for Israel to pull out of territories that have long been in contention, in the view of many world diplomats, holding up the peace process between Israel and her neighbors.
The Israeli Cabinet approved the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. The vote was 17 to 5. Under the plan, Israel will dismantle 25 Jewish settlements in disputed territories.
Again, from Prophecy Update, Monday February 21:
“Timetable for Expulsion of Gaza Settlers
Yesterday's Cabinet decision to pull out of the Gaza Strip has set the timetable in motion for the expulsion of 9,000 Jewish settlers. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz signed evacuation orders that will clear the way for dismantling 21 Jewish settlements in Gaza and four more in Samaria. The evacuation is expected to begin around July 24th and will take from seven to nine weeks. A week or two before it starts, the army will seal off the area to prevent settlers from Judea and Samaria from arriving for mass protests. Gaza settlers who refuse to leave, will be removed by force.”
The action by the Israelis, in concert with other concessions in the making, will give the Palestinian leaders basically the same thing President Bill Clinton got Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to offer PLO President Yasser Arafat in 2001. That deal would have given the PLO leader 98 percent of what they had been demanding from Israel, in order to agree to a peace settlement.
Arafat got up and walked out on the deal at that time.
Although attacks continue from the Palestinian terrorists, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon seems determined to go through with the new offer. Newly elected Palestinian leader Abu Abbas almost certainly will accept the offer, although he has paid only lip service and has taken very little action to put a damper on the terrorists.
The drive by the whole diplomatic world to ink some sort of peace pact seems so strong, some believe, that Sharon is caught in a rush of history he can’t resist.
The second factor to make this week’s time frame a stunning convergence of Bible prophecy is the EU’s relentless movement toward approving a constitution, which will cement its position as, in effect, revived Rome. On the same day as President Bush was making his statement and the Israeli Cabinet was laying out pull-out plans in order to “give peace a chance,” Spain moved the EU one step closer to giving that prophesied end-time geopolitical behemoth its constitutional legs.
A BBC report on February 21, 2005 presented the story of the first steps of ratifying the EU’s historical document:
“Spain Voters Approve EU Charter
With almost all the votes counted, officials’ figures showed 77 percent of voters backed the charter. The Spanish PM welcomed the result, but with turnout at about 42%, opposition leaders said the vote was a failure.”
It was the first of a series of European polls on the constitutional treaty, which must be ratified by all 25 EU member states to go into effect.
The deadline for ratification is November 2006.
These issues and events coming in one day is a stunning testament to how swiftly prophecy stage-setting is shaping up. Israel clearly must be back in its historical land in order for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. Many passages in the Old and New Testaments foretell of Israel in the time just before Christ returns in His second advent. The geographical European area that once comprised the ancient Roman Empire must, like Israel, be at the center of world attention, as outlined in Daniel 9:26-27 and other places in Scripture. A peace covenant must be at the heart of matters involving both Israel and the revived Roman Empire, again, according to Daniel 9:26-27.
One thing more in the news that makes the discerning sensibility of Bible prophecy students stiffen to ness has appeared on history’s horizon. The reestablishment of the Jewish Sanhedrin adds to the convergence. There must be a Jewish temple on Mt. Moriah. We know this because we are told in 2 Thessalonians that the man of sin, Antichrist, will sit in that end-time temple declaring himself to be God, and demanding worship as God. The Sanhedrin is the religious body that governs the administration of temple worship.
It is wise for Christians to be especially at this strange, though exciting time. God has the keys to the vehicle of Bible prophecy, so I am not predicting the current convergence of what clearly appears to be prophetic stage-setting will immediately lead to the “covenant made with death and hell” (Isa. 28: 18). The Lord has many times in the past seemed to put His powerful hand on the quickly spinning global issues and events to slow the march toward that fatal peace-making effort. But, I honestly cannot remember so many things relating to that tribulation-igniting event coming together in such a dramatic way as we have just witnessed.
Before that prophesied covenant is confirmed, or guaranteed, by the world leader out of revived Rome, Jesus will say, “Come up hither!” to His Church. It is time, as never before, for us who belong to Christ to be looking up, while we at the same time go about our Lord’s business here on Planet Earth.

The new Palestinian Authority has in fact been taking early security steps to cope with militants. In firing commanders known as Yasser Arafat’s cronies, the authority’s president, Mahmoud Abbas, has shown that he knows the necessity of revamping the security structure. By framing the issue as one of public safety, Abbas banned gun possession by the general public. Notwithstanding the fallout from Friday’s attack, there has been some success; Israel’s departing chief of staff, Lieutenant General Moshe Yaalon, had observed that “the Palestinians are starting to dismantle the terror infrastructure,” and are even arresting militants. Abbas has also sought to delegitimize the culture of violence, saying it is politically counterproductive to the aspirations of Palestinian statehood. Israel is encouraging this trend by forswearing the demolition of homes belonging to relatives of suicide bombers, ending targeted killing of Hamas operatives and announcing prisoner releases.
As Friday’s attack showed, the cease-fire is fragile, and Abbas must understand that he needs to utilize it to keep Hamas in check. Beyond revamping the security services, the authority must vigorously move against Hamas and other militants. The United States is dispatching Lieutenant General William Ward to help restructure the security services and to revive Israeli-Palestinian security cooperation. Such cooperation is crucial in ensuring that Palestinian quality-of-life measures, like lifting West Bank checkpoints, can be taken without leading to increased Israeli fatalities; in providing a framework for dialogue enabling a coordinated disengagement from Gaza this summer; and in monitoring the cease-fire.
It is also important to compete with Hamas in the economic sphere, and participants at this week’s international donors’ conference in London should discuss ways to assist the Palestinian Authority. Hamas’s power is increasingly reflecting the old maxim: All politics are local. Two weeks after Abbas won a majority in Gaza, Hamas swept municipal elections there. Hamas, like other Islamist groups in the Middle East, has a proven track record in providing essential social services that the Palestinians were not able to obtain from the government.
To stymie Hamas’s electoral successes, the international donors should ensure that the Palestinian Authority is financially capable of supporting those private- and public-sector groups that could provide key forms of social services in Gaza. Hamas has done well there by creating day care in mosques, supporting dozens of health clinics and supporting Islamist educational institutions. A reformed Palestinian Authority educational system, committed to teaching tolerance, would also merit international support.
Competing with Hamas means showing economic success, and Abbas needs to articulate how nonviolence is validated by economic benefits. Such steps are especially important as Hamas will claim that the Israeli exit is a result of its terror strategy. Conference participants also need to consider infrastructure projects in Gaza; help in that area could also be a task for the Gulf States, which have not fulfilled their commitments made at the Arab summit in Beirut in 2002 to provide emergency assistance to the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinians may be able to help themselves as well, given that the Palestine Investment Fund has recovered a billion dollars from the PLO’s transactions during the Arafat era, when the organization put money in enterprises scattered around the world.
Competing with Hamas also needs to be done at the ballot box. If the mainstream Fatah party in Gaza wants to do better in the parliamentary elections than in January’s municipal polls, it needs new candidates free from the taint of corruption.
Weakening support for Hamas requires a multi-pronged strategy. Opportunities should not be missed to seize this moment and weaken rejectionism.

| Re: | Analysis: Atheism worldwide in decline |
Gurat, France, Mar. 1 (UPI) -- There seems to be a growing consensus around the globe that godlessness is in trouble. "Atheism as a theoretical position is in decline worldwide," Munich theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg told United Press International Tuesday.
His Oxford colleague Alister McGrath agrees. Atheism's "future seems increasingly to lie in the private beliefs of individuals rather than in the great public domain it once regarded as its habitat," he wrote in the U.S. magazine, Christianity Today.
Two developments are plaguing atheism these days. One is that it appears to be losing its scientific underpinnings. The other is the historical experience of hundreds of millions of people worldwide that atheists are in no position to claim the moral high ground.
Writes Turkish philosopher Harun Yahya, "Atheism, which people have tried to for hundreds of years as 'the ways of reason and science,' is proving to be mere irrationality and ignorance."
As British philosopher Anthony Flew, once as hard-nosed a humanist as any, mused when turning his back on his former belief: It is, for example, impossible for evolution to account for the fact than one single cell can carry more data than all the volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica put together.
Flew still does not accept the God of the Bible. But he has embraced the intelligent design concept of scholars such as William Dembski who only four years ago claimed to have been mobbed by pro-evolutionist colleagues at -- of all places -- Baylor University, a highly respected Southern Baptist institution in Waco, Tex.
The stunning desertion of a former intellectual ambassador of secular humanism to the belief in some form of intelligence behind the design of the universe makes Yahya's prediction sound probable: "The time is fast approaching when many people who are living in ignorance with no knowledge of their Creator will be graced by faith in the impending post-atheist world."
A few years ago, European scientists sed when studies in the United States -- for example, at Harvard and Duke universities -- showed a correlation between faith, prayer and recovery from illness. Now 1,200 studies at research centers around the world have come to similar conclusions, according to "Psychologie Heute," a German journal, citing, for example, the marked improvement of multiple sclerosis patients in Germany's Ruhr District do to "spiritual resources."
Atheism's other Achilles heel are the acts on inhumanity and lunacy committed in its name. As McGrath relates in Christianity Today: "With time (atheism) turned out to have just as many frauds, psychopaths, and careerists as religion does. ... With Stalin and Madalyn Murray O'Hair, atheism seems to have ended up mimicking the vices of the Spanish Inquisition and the worst televangelists, respectively."
John Updike's observation, "Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been is drastic uninterestingness as an intellectual position," appears to become common currency throughout much of the West.
The Rev. Paul M. Zulehner, dean of Vienna University's divinity school and one of the world's most distinguished sociologists of religion, told UPI Tuesday: "True atheists in Europe have become an infinitesimally small group. There are not enough of them to be used for sociological research."
The only exceptions to this rule, Zulehner said, are the former East Germany and the Czech Republic, where, as the saying goes, de-Christianization has been the only proven success of these regions' former communist rulers.
Zulehner cautions, however, that in the rest of Europe re-Christianization is by no means occurring. "What we are observing instead is a re-paganization," he went on, and this worries Christian theologians such as Munich's Pannenberg and the Rev. Gerald McDermott, an Episcopal priest and professor of religion and philosophy at Roanoke College in Salem, Va.
For although in every major European city except Paris spirituality is booming, according to Zulehner, this only proves the emergence of a diffuse belief system, Pannenberg said, but not the revitalization of traditional Christian religious faith.
Observing a similar phenomenon in the United States, McDermott stated that the "rise of all sorts of paganism is creating a false spirituality that proves to be a more dangerous rival to the Christian faith than atheism."
After all, a Satanist is also "spiritual."
Pannenberg, a Lutheran, praised the Roman Catholic Church for handling this peril more wisely than many of his fellow Protestants. "The Catholics stick to the central message of Christianity without making any concessions in the ethical realm," he said, referring to issues such as same-sex "marriages" and abortion.
In a similar vain, Zulehner, a Catholic, sees Christianity's greatest opportunity when its message addresses two seemingly irreconcilable quests of contemporary humanity - the quest for freedom and truth.
"Christianity alone affirms that truth and God's dependability are inseparable properties to which freedom is linked."
As for the "peril of spirituality," Zulehner sounded quite sanguine. He concluded from his research that in the long run the survival of worldviews should be expected to follow this lineup:
"The great world religions are best placed," he said. As a distant second he sees the diffuse forms of spirituality. Atheism, he insisted, will come in at the tail end.

Imagine a world where Russia and the European Union of 25 nations, and Russia and China, and the EU and China, all find more in common with each other than with the United States. Unimaginable, you correctly say. But the seeds of such an anti-U.S. entente were planted in Europe last week.
In Brussels, President Bush told the EU3 ? France, the United Kingdom and Germany ? it was their responsibility to quash Iran's nuclear ambitions and the United States would not negotiate directly with the totalitarian theocracy in Tehran. The U.S. position was judged absurd by the EU3 before Mr. Bush arrived. And it was still deemed absurd after he left.
The Europeans argue, with some validity, they do not have the clout, even with economic sanctions, to change Iran's mind. But the U.S. still insisted it cannot legitimize the Iranian clerics by talking to them face to face, let alone offering them a non-aggression pact in return for respecting the non-proliferation treaty they signed and ratified.
Russia, meanwhile, says it is satisfied the mullahs are not playing with nuclear fire and it will go on helping Iran's peaceful nuclear power program. Score one for a rapprochement between the EU and Russia over Iran.
Next comes the EU plan to lift a 15-year-old arms embargo against China next June. Mr. Bush said this would be a mistake, but he is withholding judgment until he sees a promised new EU regime that would carefully regulate nonlethal military sales to China. Until now, EU members have done pretty much what they can get away with. Germany, for example, has sold diesel engines to China for its submarine fleet. This sale was approved on the laughable ground the engines were widely used for civilian purposes all over the world.
Like it or not, say the Europeans, China is headed for superpowerdom in the foreseeable future. Its human-rights record, while still poor, has improved immeasurably since the Tiananmen Square massacre June 4, 1989. The Chinese government doesn't bother anyone who wants to make a fortune in business so long as they keep their nose out of politics. And China has become a global economic behemoth. There is little doubt China will use some of its $200 billion in U.S. Treasury paper to buy the wherewithal to become strong enough to overwhelm Taiwan in a showdown.
The last major crisis between China and what it considers its wayward province came on President Clinton's watch in 1996. As volleys of Chinese missiles plunged into the sea near Taiwan, Mr. Clinton quickly dispatched two carriers to the region. Today, say Pentagon war planners, carriers wouldn't scare Beijing the way they did then. China now has the latest Russian submarine torpedoes that can arc around a carrier, attack from the stern and knock out its giant propellers.
What the Chinese want from European defense industries are the electronics for command and control, as well as communications and surveillance, to achieve command of a modern battle space, the way the U.S. did in Afghanistan and Iraq. Mr. Bush may decide to look the other way to avoid a row with the EU. But Congress has already blown the whistle.
The House recently voted 411-3 to warn the EU if it lifts the arms embargo on China, the U.S. will halt technology transfers to Europe. The Senate will follow suit shortly. The Europeans are now drawing up a list of American "civilian" technology transfers they say have added muscle to China's military girth. Score one for rapprochement between the EU and China.
It is yet to dawn on U.S. gatekeepers that 6.7 percent of Chinese defense imports come from the United States and only 2.7 percent from Europe. Humvees are mass-produced in China for the People's Liberation Army. Rolls Royce engines are in some Chinese fighter-bombers. Russia gets most of China's $15 billion defense market.
On the third front ? Russia's democracy deficit ? cooler heads prevailed, presumably remembering when the Soviet empire imploded in 1991, U.S. advice to the new Russia was to go cold turkey into market economics and democratic politics. The ensuing chaos lasted 10 years. Russia was stripped of $200 billion, assets transferred to the foreign bank accounts of a new class of bandit capitalists. Under Boris Yeltsin, prime ministers came and went, much the way they did in France between the end of World War II and 1958, when Gen. Charles de Gaulle returned to power.
De Gaulle shed France's colonial empire in North Africa and sub-Sahara Africa, dodged assassination attempts, kicked NATO out of France, created a new constitution, and gave France a new lease on life. During the 11 years he governed France, he was half autocrat, half democrat. De Gaulle is Mr. Putin's role model. Putin is half czar, half democrat. Like de Gaulle, who was saddled with a war in Algeria, then part of metropolitan France, Mr. Putin has Chechnya.
Democracy, as understood in Washington, is not on Mr. Putin's agenda. Nor could it be after 1,000 years of authoritarian rule, including 70 years of totalitarian communism. Strong leaders invariably get the nod in Russian public opinion surveys. The score: a draw.
Mercifully, Mr. Putin and President Bush focused instead on the survival of civilization ? combating nuclear terrorism. Russia still has thousands of nukes, some of them still loose, and scores of still insecure nuclear materials storage facilities. Ten billion dollars has been spent in 10 years under Nunn-Lugar legislation to foil would-be terrorists seeking to acquire Russian nuclear knowhow. Another $20 billion ? half from EU and Japan ? has been committed to finish the job by 2010.
CIA Director Porter J. Goss recently testified terrorists "have targeted nuclear weapons storage sites." Former Georgia Democratic Sen. Sam Nunn believes it would be a miracle if leakage has not already occurred. Score: Still playing.

U.S. to Fund Chinese Agency that Aided Iranian, Pakistani Nuke Programs by Timothy P. Carney
Posted Mar 2, 2005
There is an arm of the Chinese government that has repeatedly aided the nuclear weapons programs of Pakistan and Iran. Now that arm is in line for a $5-billion loan deal from the U.S. government--for the benefit of two major U.S. corporations.
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im), an independent federal agency that finances exports, has granted a preliminary commitment for the largest deal in it is history: $5 billion in loans and loan guarantees to the China National Nuclear Corporation
