	RP envoy refutes New York Times editorial - Asia Finest Discussion Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Times' comment on the Philippines was the lead editorial in yesterday's issue of its sister publication, the International Herald Tribune.
		Contrary to the Times' views, "the President's swift and decisive action saved democracy in the Philippines," Baja argued, referring to Ms Arroyo's declaration of a state of emergency last February in the midst of an alleged attempt to unseat her.
		The Times editorial did not criticize the emergency rule per se, but mainly the government's subsequent "efforts to muzzle the press" with restrictive guidelines, a "journalistic watch list," and threats of sedition charges, pressures not applied by the state since the Marcos dictatorship.

	AEGiS-Asia Times: HIV fight hits cash crunch
		Asia currently meets only 20 percent of its funding needs for about 7 million carriers of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS, relying on international donors - primarily development agencies such as the World Bank and the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) - for the rest.
		More donations will be vital if Asia is to secure anti-retroviral drugs that can help arrest the decline in life expectancy induced by the AIDS crisis and check the potential wider economic impact from the loss of millions of productive adults.
		Only about 10,000 patients in Asia are believed to be using the drugs, which cost $12,000-$15,000 a year at US prices.

		Both countries have nuclear capabilities, and terrorist incursion in India Kashmir IN 2002 by Kashmiri militants on the Pakistani side of the border brought the two nations to the brink of war.
		The international community headed by the USA and the UK have intervened and have managed to head off what had at one time appeared to be certain war.
		The Middle East Crisis, the attack upon Iraq by the USA, the war with Afghanistan and 9-11 and its aftermath have significantly dampen down the conflict between India and Pakistan, which has received significant aid from the USA and forgiveness of some $10 billion in debt for its support for the US intervention in Afghanistan.

	Asia Times Online :: Japan - Japan puts more pressure on North Korea
		TOKYO - In a significant move aimed at ratcheting up pressure on North Korea, Japan's diet (parliament) is expected to enact on Friday the North Korean Human Rights Act, which calls for economic sanctions against Pyongyang unless progress is made on the country's human-rights situation, including finally resolving the issue of abductions of Japanese nationals.
		It was the first time that the assembly had adopted a resolution specifically citing North Korea's human-rights violations.
		Officials came to this conclusion through more DNA tests, this time on Megumi Yokota's daughter and the relatives of her presumed South Korean father Kim Young-nam.

		For example, last week's harsh crackdown against protesters who turned out in support of two judges who accused the government of election fraud elicited scarcely a peep from Washington, which said it was merely "disappointed" by the extension on Monday of a much-despised 25-year-old emergency decree.
		Meanwhile, in Central Asia, Washington is vigorously promoting the construction of a proposed pipeline project that would transport gas from Turkmenistan - whose regime's bizarre, Stalin-era cult of personality has made it impossible for Bush to upgrade ties substantially - to India as a substitute for a much cheaper Iran-Pakistan-India link.
		The move underscores the degree to which Bush's declaration 17 months ago that the "ultimate goal" of US policy was "ending tyranny in our world" has been cast aside in the interests of old-fashioned geopolitics.
