This time, the Axis of Deceit lead appears to be coming from the folks at the National Review (NR), and they have aimed their sites at both boobus Americanus and at their principled paleo-libertarian and paleo-conservative opponents. While David Frum has recently been spending a portion of his rambling observations in the shameless promotion of his wifes recent book (maybe hes burned out from carrying the neo-con banner in the one battle he lost with LRC), Michael Ledeen (a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute) continues to spout war-like imperial nostrums from his column at NR, and Jonah Goldberg has apparently picked up the fallen standard from the Frumster. Ledeens Line Frankly, the detail he used in his article makes it appear that he received an off-the-record briefing from the Pentagon or, much less likely, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In any case, Ledeen picked up where Newt Gingrich left off in his recent tirade against the State Department. Ledeen blew the neo-con horn in stating that George Bush supported Iranian aspirations towards freedom, in contradiction of what Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said several weeks earlier, about Iran being a democracy. While cautioning the U.S. not to take sides in trying to hand-pick a new Iranian leader, Ledeen suggested that Iran will soon acquire nuclear weapons probably from North Korea and that the U.S. has "... a compelling interest in the democratization of Iran." Presumably, a nuclear weapon-free Iran!
War And Foreign Policy By Murray N. Rothbard In foreign affairs, the goal is the same to keep government from interfering is the foreign policy counterpart of severely limiting government at home. http://www.lewrockwell.com/rothbard/rothbard84.html
Extractions: by Murray N. Rothbard This essay is a chapter from Murray Rothbard's For A New Liberty "Isolationism," Left and Right "Isolationism" was coined as a smear term to apply to opponents of American entry into World War II. Since the word was often applied through guilt-by-association to mean pro-Nazi, "isolationist" took on a "right wing" as well as a generally negative flavor. If not actively pro-Nazi, "isolationists" were at the very least narrow-minded ignoramuses ignorant of the world around them, in contrast to the sophisticated, worldly, caring "internationalists" who favored American crusading around the globe. In the last decade, of course, antiwar forces have been considered "leftists," and interventionists from Lyndon Johnson to Jimmy Carter and their followers have constantly tried to pin the "isolationist" or at least "neoisolationist" label on today's left wing. Until the smear campaign of the late 1930s, opponents of war were considered the true "internationalists," men who opposed the aggrandizement of the nation-state and favored peace, free trade, free migration and peaceful cultural exchanges among peoples of all nations. Foreign intervention is "international" only in the sense that war is international: coercion, whether the threat of force or the outright movement of troops, will always cross frontiers between one nation and another.

Influence depends increasingly on the strength of economic relations, while security issues, some of a new order, continue to challenge us. The measure of our success in this world will be our ability as a society to effectively focus our international efforts in a spirit of shared enterprise. Canada occupies a position of leadership among the open, advanced societies which are becoming increasingly influential as world power is dispersing and becoming more defined in economic terms. Canada's geographic location gives it an important advantage as new poles of political and economic power emerge in the Pacific and Latin America. Canada's cultural heritage gives it privileged access to the anglophone and francophone worlds as well as to the homelands of Canadians drawn from every part of the globe who make up its multicultural personality. Canada can further its global interests better than any other country through its active membership in key international groupings, for example, hosting the G-7 Summit thIs year and the APEC Summit in 1997.
Extractions: Français Contact Us Help Search ... About Us Peace, Order and Good Government: A Foreign Policy Agenda for Canada by Michael Ignatieff I I have three goals in this lecture. The first is to assist in defining the intellectual task that a foreign policy review needs to accomplish. The second is to identify core values and interests that should drive our foreign policy. The third is to propose that "peace, order and good government" should constitute the organizing frame for Canadian foreign policy activity across the fields of diplomacy, defence and development. i A foreign policy review has to bring three key elements together: our values and interests as a country, the policies that best serve these values and interests and the challenges in the external world that policy has to meet. A review will fail if it proposes values that contradict interests, policies that do not serve these interests or fail to meet the challenges in the external world. A review succeeds when a clearly articulated set of interests and values allow us to ration resources and capabilities effectively and when the policies that result from these hard choices address the challenges we face. A fourth element is also important. There is hardly a government department that does not have some external exposure or involvement in the world beyond our borders. A policy review has be a policy map, identifying who does what, where in Canada's foreign relations. It should also propose coherence, a strategy to co-ordinate and leverage all the resources this government has to offer in the foreign policy field.

The performance and credibility of the National Party and in particular that of its leader Dr Don Brash will continue to be tested by the Labour Party throughout the election campaign. Last week Dr Brash's performance regarding National's foreign policy was highlighted by his inability to answer questions on the subject of Iraq. "It would not be out of order to speculate that [Dr Brash] has every intention if he were in a position - that if hed agree to send troops to Iraq hed send combat troops," said the Prime Minister. Later that day Dr Brash explained the current National Party position regarding Iraq.

Extractions: Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, March 5, 2004 by CommonDreams.org by Stephen Zunes Those who had hoped that a possible defeat of President George W. Bush in November would mean real changes in U.S. foreign policy have little to be hopeful about now that Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has effectively captured the Democratic presidential nomination. That Senator Kerry supported the Bush Administrations invasion of Iraq and lied about former dictator Saddam Hussein possessing a sizable arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in order to justify it would be reason enough to not support him. (See my March 1, 2004 article Kerrys Support for the Invasion of Iraq and the Bush Doctrine Still Unexplained However, a look at his record shows that Kerrys overall foreign policy agenda has also been a lot closer to the Republicans than to the rank-and-file Democrats he claims to represent. This is not too surprising, given that his top foreign policy advisors include: Rand Beers, the chief defender of the deadly airborne crop-fumigation program in Colombia who has justified U.S. support for that countrys repressive right-wing government by falsely claiming that Al-Qaeda was training Colombian rebels; Richard Morningstar, a supporter of the dictatorial regime in Azerbaijan and a major backer of the controversial Baku-Tbilisi oil pipeline, which placed the profits of Chevron, Halliburton and Unocal above human rights and environmental concerns; and, William Perry, former Secretary of Defense, member of the Carlisle Group, and advocate for major military contractors.

Extractions: Germany Info Home: Foreign Policy The Foreign Policy of the Government The Foreign Policy of the Government At the outset of the 21st century, the basic framework of German foreign policy has changed fundamentally and continues to change. Germanys foreign policy is oriented towards the aims of maintaining freedom, peace and prosperity, promoting democracy, developing respect for human rights all over the world, fostering sustainable development in all countries of the southern hemisphere and safeguarding the future of the global community. In the whole of Europe, democracy, the rule of law and market-economy principles have made crucial progress. At the same time, however, Europe - along with other regions of the world - has also experienced an outbreak of armed conflict within ist own borders. The creation of a stable and enduring peaceful order in Europe, the further development of international relations and the creation of a legal framework for these relations, especially the development and elaboration of effective strategies for conflict prevention and peaceful resolution of conflicts, are therefore ongoing priorities of German policy. Support for human rights, readiness to engage in dialogue, renunciation of force and confidence-building form the foundation of this policy. Foreign policy is the responsibility of the federal government. The Chancellor determines the guidelines of foreign policy. Within these guidelines, the foreign minister bears day-to-day responsibility for foreign policy as head of the foreign office.
Globalism And Foreign Policy These groups advocate a world government, a merging of national entities into an The concept has also been promoted by foreign policy groups, http://www.leaderu.com/orgs/probe/docs/global.html
Extractions: LU-Announce A small but powerful group of internationalists is bent on bringing every aspect of our world society under one, universal political system. The philosophy behind this movement is known as globalism. In this article we will be looking at the subject and describing how it has been promoted by the Bush and Clinton administrations. First, I would like to begin by looking at the goals of globalists. Though they are a diverse and eclectic group of international bankers, politicians, futurists, religious leaders, and economic planners, they are unified in their desire to unite the planet under a one-world government, a single economic system, and a one- world religion. Through various governmental programs, international conferences, and religious meetings, they desire to unite the various governments of this globe into one single network. Although this can be achieved in a variety of ways, the primary focus of globalists is on the next generation of young people. By pushing global education in the schools, they believe they can indoctrinate students to accept the basic foundations of globalism. According to one leader of this movement, global education seeks to "prepare students for citizenship in the global age." They believe that this new form of education will enable future generations to deal effectively with population growth, environmental problems, international tensions, and terrorism.

More Information B The first and most enduring principle of American foreign policy was isolationism . As expressed by George Washington in 1796, isolationism meant that there should be no permanent alliances and âas little political connection as possibleâ with foreign nations. This policy only applied to political relations because the United States continued to trade with other nations and to expand its territory. In the early 1800s the United States extended its isolationist polices to all of the Western Hemisphere with the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. This doctrine stated that the United States would stay out of European wars and that European nations should not attempt to extend their influence into the Americas.

Foreign Policy Controls - Crime Control/Human Rights The US government has a general policy of denial for applications to US government policy on human rights issues, foreign availability notwithstanding. http://www.bis.doc.gov/PoliciesAndRegulations/04ForPolControls/Chap2_CrimeHumanR
Extractions: (Sections 742.7, 742.11, 742.17) The U.S. Government has a general policy of denial for applications to export crime control items to a country in which the government engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. For other countries, the U.S. Government will consider applications for crime control items favorably, on a case-by-case basis, unless there is civil disorder in the country or region concerned, or there is evidence that the government may have violated human rights and that the judicious use of export controls would be helpful in minimizing regional instability, deterring the development of a consistent pattern of such violations, or in demonstrating U.S. opposition to such violations. The U.S. Government has a policy of denial for any license application to export specially designed implements of torture and thumbscrews. No applications for the export of these items were submitted in 2003.
