If the American people were to elect a baboon as their next president, we can be sure that John Howard would applaud its gibberings and Alexander Downer would fetch its bananas. The Prime Minister struts the stage, puffing out his chest like Billy Hughes as he issues fatuous calls for the nation to support our troops but, in fact, by this dark censorship, he betrays them now and for history." Mike Carlton (Sydney Morning Herald - April 5, 2003) Recent Site Additions

Extractions: In Damascus, the Syrian capital, the cabinet called on the Security Council to adopt a resolution to halt aggression against Iraq. While rumors in the halls of the United Nations circulated that a draft resolution was being prepared by Syria, the BBC UN desk circulated a story that the Syrian draft to halt the war would be vetoed if it came up for a vote. "The United States is using fear and intimidation against Security Council members," said Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Washington-based Institute for Policy Studies. The Global Policy Forum said the U.S. has embarked on a well-orchestrated program to stop any resolution against the war in Iraq from coming to the Security Council. It includes a "pre-emptive letter writing attack" to all nations that "demands" member states avoid "calls for an emergency session of the General Assembly" and anti-war Resolution 377, United For Peace.

I have one complicating problem in doing so in that having read the previous lectures in this series I discovered that there is no consensus on what were the ideas of 1989. I therefore am going to cheat a little bit and discuss the lessons of 1989 for diplomacy in our time.

Historic Archive Speech at The Assembly of the Republic by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Portuguese Communities, Martins da Cruz, in 18 June, 2002 Mr. President of the Committee for European Affairs and Foreign Policy of the Assembly of the Republic Hon. Members of Parliament, 1. It is with the utmost pleasure that I am here, today, to address you on the main lines of Portuguese foreign policy. I am, as I have always been, perfectly aware of the importance of the "State dimension" of our foreign policy and we shall proceed, the Secretaries of State working with me and myself, to follow that path daily on carrying out our governing work. Nowadays, there are new situations which call for further effort and that demand new abilities to prevent crises and problems. We must act and not only react, trying to find differentiating and national value-added factors to join common interests and solve real situations. It is in the light of this, Sirs, that I uphold that our foreign policy, and mostly of all European policy, has to acquire a redoubled strategic mobility in order to meet globalisation and the new challenges Europe faces, as for example, the enlargement and the institutional reform which will have predictable repercussions on our country.

Extractions: The last week in Russia's Moslem community was marked with a scandalous trick of the so-called high mufti, the head of the Central Spiritual Moslem department, sheikh Talgat Tadjuddin that he played at a meeting held by the United Russia party in the city of Ufa. When the party gave the sheikh permission to speak at the meeting, he drew a large saber (as it turned out later, it was blunt), waved it in the air and declared jihad against the USA. Then he explained everything in detail to journalists More details The Russian part of the Internet can offer a lot of interesting information to American users as well, albeit presumably to those Americans, who know the Russian language. Every now and then Russian websites publish the information about the actions that coalition forces might take in Iraq in the nearest future. More importantly, such suppositions often become real. This considerable informational assistance is reportedly rendered by anonymous agents of the Russian Central Intelligence Department. There is a good example to give some person known as Ramzaj More details
