	Are there really two Americas? - An Article by Madine

		America sees two John Kerrys." And according to Giuliani, Democrats need "two Americas -- one where John Kerry can vote for something and another where he can vote against the same thing." Hardee-har-har.
		What's more, it's impossible to talk about the reality of the two Americas without talking about Bush's miserable failures in Iraq, as Kerry did on Labor Day, pointing out to a crowd in Cleveland that this "wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time...
		It was a great relief to hear Kerry slam Bush on Iraq, and ignore the siren song of those advising him to cede the foreign policy front to the president and stick to domestic issues.

		TONY JONES: As the long delayed assault on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah begins, one of Washington's leading neo-conservative intellectuals is here to discuss America's crisis of international legitimacy after the war in Iraq.
		I've talked to a lot of people in the military who believe that we could certainly increase our forces by 200,000 troops without having to resort to a draft.
		When I talk to European strategists and governments, they understand that pre-emption will be necessary.

		This is where America lives now, in these sub- and ex-urban webs, of tracts of housing disconnected from any centre, of megastores marooned in carparks, the whole thing tied together by cable, the web and the freeway.
		Yet everything that is happening, or not happening, in America, is a consequence of this great social self-deconstruction, the fact that the country has essentially fallen through a hole in itself.
		What Obama didn't do, wouldn't do, was really talk about what has happened in America – about what is in effect a war between corporate America and its population, who are squeezed for wages, for health insurance, for loan shark mortgages, in an ever-more desperate search for sources of profit in a silted-up economy.

	Botanic Gardens Trust - Talking Plants
		Tim Entwisle talks to Angela Catterns on 702 ABC Sydney — 6 May 2003
		Like much in life, the answer is in careful consideration of your own situation rather than dogmatic statements like ‘plant native’ or ‘I can plant what I like’ (Dr Tim Flannery in his 2002 Australia Day address, for example, made the glib pronouncement that ‘roses, lawns and plant trees are a blot on our landscape’.
		There are good arguments for planting indigenous plants in our gardens if we wish to encourage local wildlife and to recreate the environment that existed before our particular housing development took root.

	One Americas, indivisible - The Boston Globe
		Awkward it certainly is, and ungrammatical too, for most of us; the Americas, North, Central, and South, usually take a plural verb when they go out together.
		But this isn't the first time the president has offered his singular version of ''an Americas''; there were half a dozen such constructions in a June speech to the Organization of American States.
		It's tempting to think that speechwriters and policy makers hope the language of togetherness-''the Americas is a vast market''-will help sell Latin America on the dream of economic synergy.

		Some 12 entries were received and everyone thought that was that until Oracle BMW came along with a challenge in the State Supreme Court of New York stating that the new Spanish Club was a sham and the rules for the racing biased towards the defender.

		Rudy Giuliani and Dick Cheney even went so far as to use the notion of two Americas as the set up for jokes.

	SOA Watch
		Located at Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia, the School of the Americas (SOA) is a U.S. Army center that has trained more than sixty thousand soldiers and police, mostly from Latin America, in counterinsurgency and combat-related skills since it was founded in 1946.
		Based on her unprecedented level of access to the School of the Americas, Gill describes the School's mission and training methods and reveals how its students, alumni, and officers perceive themselves in relation to the dirty wars that have raged across Latin America.
		Assessing the School's role in U.S. empire-building, she shows how Latin America's brightest and most ambitious military officers are indoctrinated into a stark good-versus-evil worldview, seduced by consumer society and the American dream, and enlisted as proxies in Washington's war against drugs and subversion.

		But before I do, as is often the custom among Native peoples of the Americas, I want to share a story with you that serves as deep background for everything I will be talking about with you today.
		Native peoples in the Americas have traded objects and art among themselves for thousands of years, and its extension beyond our own communities to the non-Native is something to which I have no objection whatsoever.
		First, America's cultural and arts institutions, and many of them exist, which hold Native objects and materials, must educate their publics generally about the Native arts, past and present - and in several respects.

		US President George W Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have agreed that Iran is a "threat" to peace that needs to be confronted, as they kicked off talks at the White House.

		It's only a week since the midterm elections, but, in America's endless cycle of politics, everybody is now talking about the 2008 presidential election.
		We're talking about a country where constitutional amendments have successfully banned gay marriage in, what, half a dozen states, and only been rejected in one.
		As to whether America is ready for this man, given this snippet of information, I guess it would be fair to say that he would pick up three voting segments: the gay community, dog lovers, and (as it was a Chihuahua) the Latin vote.

	Argentine kept daughter as sex prisoner - SBS World News Australia
		Prosecuting Attorney Sergio Antin said the case of Eleuterio Soria had similarities to that of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man arrested last month for locking his daughter in a basement for 24 years.
		"If we're talking about sexual subjugation, and we take into account that the victim did not leave the house, yes, there are similarities" to the Fritzl case, government prosecutor Sergio Antin said after Soria was sentenced on Wednesday.
		Soria's trial revealed that he began abusing his daughter in 1992, when she was 12 years old.

	Cuba Changes, United States Policy Stagnates - Worldpress.org
		But this is not the topic of discussion; rather it is the official recognition of longstanding problems, the easing of restrictions on private businesses, and the official encouragement of public discussion that has everyone talking about change in Cuba.
		Community leaders are now talking about the need for a foreign policy of dialogue and engagement.
		There is hope, however, that the changing political equation in Miami, pressure from economic interest groups interested in trade and investment, and support by the majority of Americans for normalization of relations with Cuba will lead to long overdue policy change after the 2008 elections.

	Billboard ban in São Paulo angers advertisers - Americas - International Herald Tribune
		Come the new year, this city of 11 million, overwhelmed by what the authorities call visual pollution, plans to press the "delete all" button and offer its residents unimpeded views of their surroundings.
		But in proposing to transform the landscape, officials have unleashed debate and brought into conflict sharply differing concepts of what this city, South America's largest and most prosperous, should be.
		City planners, architects and environmental advocates have argued enthusiastically that the prohibition, through a new "clean city" law, brings São Paulo a welcome step closer to an imagined urban ideal.

	Argentina holds firm against angry farmers - International Herald Tribune
		But farmers like Marcelo and Pablo Marchetti, brothers in this country's lush grain belt west of Buenos Aires, say the talks are going nowhere and amount to further proof that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, in office just four months, does not understand the farmers' complaints.
		They are preparing to resume blockages of grain exports once the deadline for the talks expires on Friday.
		Since both sides agreed to hold talks, the government has refused to back down on new export tariffs, also instituted in March, and has hardened its stance against the farmers.
