Very different perspectives on events in Ukraine
We've selected a few rather different articles about the elections in Ukraine. We hope this will be pedagogically useful for teachers, students, journalists and media critics. Again, there may be many aspects of truth in what is basically the same story.

Bush Policies Make Terrorism a Growth Industry
Bush administration policies in the war on terrorism mutated the global threat, mobilizing anti-U.S. sentiment. The crisis in Iraq, coupled with radical shifts in U.S. policy in the Middle East and elsewhere, gave extremists a new focus, allowing radical groups to widen their appeal among Muslims and others. A terrorism alarm sounds everyday somewhere in the world, canceling flights, closing embassies, killing people.

There is now substantial literature that makes a strong case that the Tribunal is not only a crudely political arm of NATO, but that it is a "rogue court."
