TP Articles: Assessing Nuclear Dangers 63 Years Later
During the election season—and in the first months of (hopefully) a new presidential administration and Congress—citizens have an opportunity to insist that nuclear weapons materials from the Cold War be locked down, that nuclear stockpiles be reduced, and that we turn back the clock with real progress toward nonproliferation.

TP Articles: The Law of the Conservation of Violence
The law of conservation of the level of violence thus rests on the structure of power and its reflection in politics. If you want to compete in politics in the militarized America of today you can't scrimp on money for "national security" and you need to display a readiness to exercise a "muscular" foreign policy. If you call for reduced forces in one country, you must urge their increase in another. Keep those muscles in shape and bombs dropping.

Reference: Underwater
That is why these small islands are planning the unprecedented step next week, ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting, of calling on the Security Council itself to address climate change as a pressing threat to international peace and security.

TP Articles: Extraordinary Rendition, Extraordinary Mistake
Ultimately, the U.S. policy of extraordinary rendition relies on disingenuous diplomatic assurances and can result in the torture and prolonged detention of innocent individuals. It also tarnishes U.S. reputation in the international community and undermines American national interests by alienating their allies and weakening counterterrorism efforts.

TP Articles: Who Killed Victor Jara?
The junta broke the fingers on Victor Jara's hands,
They said to the gentle poet "play your guitar now if you can",
Victor started singing but they brought his body down;
You can kill that man but not his song,
When it's sung the whole world round.

TP Articles: Olympic Inspiration for Peace
The Olympics give us a glimpse of what is possible for our species and our world. They demand that we be more than quiet (or even noisy) observers. They challenge us to re-envision our world.

TP Articles: Huffing and Puffing at the Pentagon
As for Gates’ condemnation of Russia for resorting to force in Georgia, one need not defend Russia’s actions there to note that such tactics have long been deemed fully appropriate in the US. Only recently America used force to depose an elected government in Haiti, hustling its elected president off into exile.

TP Articles: Bolivia Gets the Change It Asked For
Land reform is understandably a central political and economic issue. With 40 percent of the labor force in agriculture and more than three-quarters of rural Bolivians in poverty, a redistribution of arable land is not only a central demand of the voters but an important part of an economic development strategy that can boost employment and income in the countryside.
