A new state of the world

The previous days i've been thinking lots on international politics, probably the catalist for that was David's comment on geopolitics. As someone suposedly to be an intellectual, today I bought the last issue of Le Monde Diplomatique. The editorial by Ignacio Ramonet made a very clear diagnostic of the state of the world, following the war in Lebanon, the crisis in the middle east, and particularly the 5 years old war on terror.

What I like of his view is its comprehensiveness ... because it will bring enough elements to the reader to make his/her own opinion, based on published facts, rather than a specific propaganda.

The war in Irak is very expensive. In 2005 the US military expenditures were of 500 billion dollars, while they only consecrated 18 billions to development

Worth to read, and if you can get your own copy of this month's issue, do it!
