One thing is for sure, and despite Microsoft's official denials; open source software is the biggest threat the company faces to its world-beating business model. This was further underlined with Dell's announcement that it was shipping a range of desktops and notebooks with open source operating system Ubuntu preloaded.

Aguayo, a 35-year-old Mexican-American from Los Angeles, joined the Army in 2003 yet soon realized he couldn't take part in violence. He applied for conscientious objector (CO) status in February 2004 but was sent to Iraq anyway, where he refused to load his weapon even while on guard duty.

Being in Kansas made me recall the night I arrived at Leavenworth Penitentiary on a prison bus. It was a dark and stormy night all right. The lighting cracked and the front steps looked like a thousand steps straight up to hell.

Interview with Mike Palecek, author of 8 novels including "The American Dream" & "Terror Nation." His irreverent satirization of the myriad of ills plaguing the United States is unparalleled amongst current authors of sociopolitical fiction.

In the face of severe contempt and intimidation, a sizable number of Americans saw the charade for what it was and rued the oncoming disaster of warAs we mark the fourth anniversary of Bush's catastrophic war in Iraq, a round of blaming is sure to ensue along with counts of U.S. soldiers killed and wounded, money spent, dreams dashed, and the like.

Apathy in our modern industrialized world rules the day, particularly in the realm of politics. And in the United States it appears to reign supreme. That is exactly why we seem to be content. as if Tweedledee and Tweedledum truly represented both party in power and opposition; any other ideas being frowned upon....

If Americans want change, and they really mean it, they must force it at the local and state level, and forget about the people they've sent to the Capitol in D.C. It's the small towns and big cities that need to make declarations rebuking America's foreign policy and its byproduct: war, war and more war...

some local war critics are cautiously optimistic that their movement may be gaining steam and mainstream support. They think a tipping point may have been reached.

It should be clear by now - should have been clear long ago - that rulers of all kinds will cloak their most base and secret motives in the decent clothes of morality and goodness to win the approval of the masses.

We've entered into Orwell's nightmare of a post-modern, post-Christian era of permanent war. Our war is universal--we make war on the poor, on children, on the earth, on humanity, on God. The best response to a "surge of war" is a counter surge of peace, a swell of peacemakers and nonviolent resisters. All of us need to stand up and ...

To grasp the unfolding events in Lebanon, you have to begin with an uncomfortable fact. Hezbollah, widely known throughout much of the West as a "terrorist organization," is seen as anything but in Lebanon. Hezbollah first came into existence as a result of the Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon, which began on June 6, 1982.
