Why the United States got it wrong

"It is worth learning this: Al-Qaeda was the biggest beneficiary of the “response” of the United States to 9/11 alongside U.S. corporations. America’s “War on Terror” produced far more terrorism in the world than there had been prior to that response." Writes P.Sainath

Market Jihad is mortal, martyred but not dead. It has merely gone underground. Or is catching its breath. Writes P. Sainath

The Almighty and US Elections

Thu, 2008-09-25 11:48 | P. Sainath

Barack Obama made sure his eyes looked unblinking into the TV camera as he said: "I believe (in) -- Jesus Christ died for my sins, and that I am redeemed through him." Barely an hour later, John McCain said from the very same platform (into the same television cameras) that being a follower of Christ "means I'm saved and forgiven. We're talking about the world. Our faith encompasses not just the United States but the world." Whatever it means to Obama and McCain, it means God is alive and well and a frontrunner in US election campaigns. Says P. Sainath.
