April 19, 2004 (Adapted)
Following his fruitful visit to the White House last
week, Israel's prime minister, Ariel Sharon, has returned
home to push ahead with his plan for a "unilateral
disengagement". The plan involves abandoning the
Gaza strip by the end of next year while keeping "for all
eternity" some chunks of the West Bank where there
are already large Jewish settlements. It also includes
continuing (in public at least) to express an interest in
reaching a diplomatic solution with Palestinian
moderates but striking hard at military groups. In pursuit
of the latter part of Sharon's plan, on Saturday April
17th, an Israeli attack helicopter blew up a car carrying
Abdel-Aziz Rantisi, who had become Hamas's chief
after an Israeli attack last month killed the Islamist
militant group's previous leader, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
Since Saturday's attack, Mr Sharon has won the
backing of three influential Israeli ministers for the
proposed Gaza pull-out.
The assassination of Dr Rantisi (shortly after a
Palestinian suicide bomber had killed an Israeli soldier
at the main crossing into Gaza) drew outright
condemnation from the United Nations, the European
Union and Russia - three of the four members of the
"Quartet" that drew up the now-tattered "road map"
towards peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Illusions of Empire: Defining the New
American Order

March/April 2004 (Adapted)
In his book The Sorrows of Empire: Militarism,
Secrecy, and the End of the Republic, Chalmers
Johnson advances the disturbing claim that the United
States' Cold War-era military power and far-flung base
system have, in the last decade, been consolidated in a
new form of global imperial rule. The United States,
according to Johnson, has become "a military
juggernaut intent on world domination."
Driven by a triumphalist ideology, an
exaggerated sense of threats, and a self-serving
military-industrial complex, this juggernaut is tightening
its grip on much of the world. The Pentagon has
replaced the State Department as the primary shaper of
foreign policy. Military commanders in regional
headquarters are modern-day proconsuls, warriordiplomats
who direct the United States' imperial reach.
Johnson fears that this military empire will corrode
democracy, bankrupt the nation, spark opposition, and
ultimately end in a Soviet-style collapse.

Brazil's foreign policy: A giant stirs
Source: www.economist.co.uk
June 10, 2004 (Adapted)
It is a small force, but of huge symbolic significance.
This month, 1,200 Brazilian troops arrived in Haiti, the
country's biggest foreign military deployment since the
second world war. Brazil is commanding a United
Nations peacekeeping force of 6,700 mainly Latin
American troops and 1,600 police which is taking over
from American and French forces in the Caribbean
island. This marks a new departure. Brazil has long
been a gentle and introverted giant, content to be a
bystander on the world stage. Now that is changing.
