	History
		Boxing in this style reached its zenith of popularity about two hundred years ago, i.e., in the reign of Prachao Sua (King Tiger), when it was indulged in by all classes of the population.
		During the reign of King Rama V, Thai boxing matches were widely popular, boxing matches were held for the King's pleasure, ad skilled boxers received titles from the King, for example Muen Muay Mee Chue from Chaiya, Muen Muay Man Mudh from Lopburi, Muen Cha-ngad Cherng Chok from Korat.
		This led the organizers of Thai-Style boxing to see that gloves are less dangerous than rope-binding, and decided that gloves should be adopted in Muay Thai, but fighting with elbows, knees, feet and fists would still be allowed.

	The War DVD - Reviews - Description - Martial Arts Books & Videos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The War is a species of film released in the early 90's with anti-war, anti-agression themes that require movie-goers to commit to the view that the Vietnam War is a symbol for war's futility.
		The film delivers a punch in the way that the characters are faced with an inner war coupled with the physical one which the entire family is facing at the time.
		For the father, played by Kevin Costner, it is the loss of a friend in the War, and for the son, Stu, played wonderfully by child star Elijah Wood, it is the fight over a beloved treehouse.

	[A-List] US: Bush says be ready for war (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It's obviously a response to yet another crisis of accumulation, this time compounded by a political crisis, that is, the beginning of the unravelling of the empire (especially in Latin America) with the ultimate goal being the establishment of control of the world's energy resources as the strategic linchpin.
		Henry is dead right about one thing, and that's that war on "terrorism" is a military blunder from A to Z. We all realize that it's a pretext to give the junta a free hand, but it really appears that they believe they can indefinitely support a hi-tech, highly mobile, highly flexible military regime...
		We are seeing the inauguration of a a pure, unadulterated [literal] class war, and that's why the weakened and marginalized states across which the exploited masses grow restless are no longer at the center of military doctrine.

	Alexander The Great Wins The War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		One of British boxing’s longest running feuds was settled on Friday night when Wayne Alexander (UK) scored a spectacular second round knockout over arch rival Takaloo (UK) to win the vacant WBU Light-Middleweight title, writes Michael Coombes.
		As the Margate fighter lay spread-eagled in the ring with referee Micky Vann abandoning the count, there were some worrying moments as paramedics rushed into the ring to tend to the stricken boxer, thankfully though after treatment Takaloo was back on his feet and later able to make his way out of the ring unaided.
		It is hard not to feel for Takaloo after what happened and the position he now finds himself in, which unfortunately illustrates the harsh and cruel realities of the boxing world.

	The War Department: Keeper of Our Nation's Enemy Aliens during World War I
		All three prisons were under the supervision of the Adjutant General of the Army.(2) In addition to the three War Department camps, the Labor Department established a camp at Hot Springs, North Carolina for interned officers and crews of German merchant ships lying in ports of the United States at the opening of the hostilities.
		Since War Prison Barracks #2 at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia held the largest population of enemy aliens of the three prisons and also left behind a significant volume of records pertaining to the war prison barracks, I will illustrate my discussion with examples from this facility.
		Fear of a backlash to the war declaration prompted the federal government to undertake a number of restrictive measures to prevent sabotage and espionage by German aliens, as well as citizens of German descent living in the United States.

	Denis Boyles on European Press on National Review Online
		Some readers will already be familiar with Gilligan, the little buddy of Baghdad, whose blind faith in the injustice of the Coalition's cause made him miss the very story he was sent to Iraq to cover, as I have detailed elsewhere.
		The widespread criticism of the BBC's miserably bitter and biased performance before, during, and after the war has driven the world's largest broadcaster into a defensive corner where it is now forced to put its reputation on the line for the sake of Gilligan.
		So the coverage of the war in Iraq by the BBC was essentially the same coverage we would have witnessed if billions of dollars had been given not to some typically boring liberal organization, like, say, NPR.

		The war in Iraq was short, but considering that the buildup to war lasted more than a year, there should have been plenty of anti-war music to make it onto radio and into Wal-Mart.
		The lounges in the gentrified and boho sections of large cities have plenty folk singers performing "love not war" songs while their audiences munch on vegan burgers.
		True, many of Vietnam's most memorable protest songs were written after the war had escalated to hellish levels -- and after the draft lottery came to loom over the lives of young Americans.

	PBS - Mark Twain: Upcoming Projects
		The War will be a double-sized project (three or four episodes totaling 6 hours) that will explore the impact of the Second World War on the lives of a community of ordinary Americans.
		Presented through the eyes of a group of men and women who lived through the greatest cataclysm in modern history, the film will use their memoirs, diaries and letters along with filmed interviews with living witnesses to bring the past viscerally alive.
		Through these interlocking narratives, this film will be an unflinching account of the suffering and unspeakable tragedy of the war, as well as a celebration of the extraordinary heroism and humanity evinced by the ordinary people who were swept up in it, and whose lives were unalterably transformed by it.

		Bush and his handlers want the election to be a referendum on the war on terror as some kind of skeet shooting, coon skinnin', bare knuckle boxing triathalon, and the knotty grain of actual argument gets avoided whenever and wherever possible during the course of the debate.
		The troops and their self-image became the desperate conceit which Bush repeats again and again, stating that the way Kerry speaks is "Not what a commander in chief does when you're trying to lead troops".
		Bush has done much to encourage such loose, sloppy and rhetorically deadly usage of terms in the war on terror, where every authoritarian government in the world has been able to destroy freedom in the name of fighting evildoers.
