Colonel Sturgeon: May 2005
http://colonelsturgeon.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Following the war of 1812, Governor Shelby of Kentucky appointed a former officer of the war as an Aid-de-camp. This purely military role changed to a ceremonial role by the late 1800's. In 1931, the rank was made an honorary commission by the governor for service to the Commonewealth. We often hear the words "mutual understanding," but do we really know what we mean when we say those words? It implies a relationship, an affinity, and in general a relationship with feelings towards another. Still though,...

Colonel Sturgeon: Ripples of Yasukuni
http://colonelsturgeon.blogspot.com/2005/11/ripples-of-yasukuni.html
Following the war of 1812, Governor Shelby of Kentucky appointed a former officer of the war as an Aid-de-camp. This purely military role changed to a ceremonial role by the late 1800's. In 1931, the rank was made an honorary commission by the governor for service to the Commonewealth. How do we explain the interactions between these nations in international relations terminology? Is this simply diplomatic posturing, or does Koizumi’s visit represent a serious international relations crisis? During the w...

Sonic's Place: July 2005
http://sonicsplace.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Views on the world and the war. Friday, July 29, 2005. No one wants to talk about Falluja,". It seems so long ago that the destruction of Falluja was hailed as the turning point that would lead to peace in Iraq. Of course that was about three turning points ago. But it is important that we on the anti-war left remember what was done to the city, and now, at last an independent journalist has managed to gain entry into the cirt and report what it is like now. We Regard Falluja As a Large Prison". The Iraq...

A real fighter for freedom passes away
http://sonicsplace.blogspot.com/2006/08/real-fighter-for-freedom-passes-away.html
Views on the world and the war. Tuesday, October 25, 2005. A real fighter for freedom passes away. Rosa Parks is dead. Also, bus drivers in Montgomery made blacks, who were nearly 70 percent of the riders, enter the front door, pay their fare, disembark and re-enter by the back door. Many blacks were left standing, fareless, when the bus driver pulled away before they could reboard. She said he replied, "I don't know, but the law is the law, and you're under arrest.". Progressive Thoughts and Ramblings.

Sonic's Place: August 2005
http://sonicsplace.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Views on the world and the war. Thursday, August 11, 2005. The view from one Iraqi. The gates of hell. Azzaman, August 7, 2005. The headline of this article is not a title of a science fiction film. It truthfully translates what is currently taking place in Iraq. The gates of hell are now wide open thanks to U.S. invasion and their fires have enveloped almost everything in our country. There is no electricity, no water, no fuel, no food rations, no security, no sewage. Stray bullets are no longer the pre...

On Paris
http://sonicsplace.blogspot.com/2005/11/on-paris.html
Views on the world and the war. Monday, November 07, 2005. Another exiled euro-lefty now resident in New Zealand, Joe, had written an excellent piece on the Paris Riots, well worth a read. Mile after mile of desolate estate-high rise ghettos reaching out to the horizon. The train stations were all covered with New York style hip hop graffiti, and when I got off at the second last stop (St Denis-Porte de Paris) I got a real shock. I'd date the revival of the French left from there! IN our broken French we...
