A Manifesto For Change In Egypt
By Mohamed ElBaradei

http://www.countercurrents.org/elbaradei290111.htm

In Egypt, as in Tunisia, there are other forces than just the president and the people. The army has been quite neutral so far, and I would expect it to remain that way. The soldiers and officers are part of the Egyptian people. They know the frustrations. They want to protect the nation.. This week the Egyptian people broke the barrier of fear, and once that is broken, there is no stopping them


Egyptian Youth And New Dawn Hopes

A People Defies Its Dictator, And A Nation's
Future Is In The Balance
By Robert Fisk

http://www.countercurrents.org/fisk290111.htm

It might be the end. It is certainly the beginning of the end. Across Egypt, tens of thousands of Arabs braved tear gas, water cannons, stun grenades and live fire yesterday to demand the removal of Hosni Mubarak after more than 30 years of dictatorship


As The Dominoes Flow Toward Israel
By William A. Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook290111.htm

While the people of the mid-east rise in protest against their respective American supported dictators in Tunisia and Egypt, with the American-Israeli attempts to control Lebanon on the brink of chaos and collapse, and the "peace negotiations" between the Palestinians and the Israelis torpedoed by both Netanyahu and Abbas, the confusion at the State Department could be eased if it spent some time reviewing the United States' prior efforts to control the people of the mid-east, especially in Iran

Worsening Food Crisis Is Leading To Political Upheavals
By Devinder Sharma

In the midst of the chaos being witnessed across the Arab world -- Tunisia, Algeria and now Egypt -- what is being missed out is the role food inflation has played in triggering these protests


World Is One Poor Harvest Away From Chaos,
Book Warns, By Lester Brown
By The Independent

http://www.countercurrents.org/brown290111.htm

Like many environmentalists, Lester Brown is worried. In his new book "World on the Edge," released this week, Brown says mankind has pushed civilization to the brink of collapse by bleeding aquifers dry and overplowing land to feed an ever-growing population, while overloading the atmosphere with carbon dioxide


Oil And Food Prices
By Jason Bradford

http://www.countercurrents.org/bradford290111.htm

Agriculture was created as the primary way civilizations harness the energy that allows them to do work. Now, however, agriculture is simply another fossil fuel conversion system. While these fuels provide us with tremendous labor efficiency, we can no longer say we have an energy efficient way to make food since food production is now an energy sink


Four Reasons Why "Progress" Isn't Always Progress
By Margaret Emerson

http://www.countercurrents.org/emerson290111.htm

Progress should mean working within the Earth's limits to ensure that people aren't just well-off financially, but happy and healthy. It means closing the gap between the very rich and the desperately poor, because progress can't just mean the improvement of the lives of 5% of the population. Progress means peace, and cooperation, and more beauty in the world

Hezbollah Is The New Government Of Lebanon. Now What?
By Franklin Lamb

http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb290111.htm

Iran benefited with important political gains as it continues to rise and move in the region in the direction of Palestine. The United States' hegemony continues to recede in the region and is increasingly viewed, post Palestine Papers, as the enemy of Arabs and Muslim. Its pariah status grows because Washington continues to prop up, fund and arm the Zionist occupation of Palestine

Deoband Power Struggle Could Change
The Face Of Muslim Society In India
By Yoginder Sikand

http://www.countercurrents.org/sikand290111.htm

Whether Vastanvi stays or is forced out remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: as the calumny he has had to face from fellow maulvis, sections of the Urdu press and scores of Muslim 'leaders' so tragically illustrates, the onerous task of promoting long overdue and desperately needed reforms in Indian Muslim society, particularly in the maulvi community, is by no means an easy one
