Threat of US recession panics global stock markets
22-01-2008 07:34
Stock prices plummeted worldwide Monday, amid heightened fears of a US recession. While over the course of last week US financial markets suffered the worst fall since 2002, with the Down Jones Industrial Average dropping by 5 percent, many Asian and European indices dropped by a similar amount in just one day. It was the biggest one-day fall in world stock markets since September 11, 2001. Industrial stocks fell together with financial, suggesting that the US credit crisis, hitherto confined mainly to the banking and mortgage sectors, is spilling over into the real economy worldwide.“Liar loans” drive hundreds of thousands into debt

The British American Project received funds from the CIA to help what it saw as anti-Americanism within Europe.

22-01-2008 02:12
Collective Punishment is a War Crime.This has little to do with rockets, except that when Israel first imposed Collective Punishment, in order to "suffocate Hamas", its own defence staff warned that it would provoke a violent response.
Israel is directly responsible for provoking the violence it now uses to justify aggression it planned long before Annapolis. Sadly, much of the media is so cowed that they're getting away with it.
