Spain S New Leader Calls For Foreign Policy Overhaul foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, and Socialist EU Deputy Francisca Sauquillooutlined the central points of the future government s foreign policy. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0315-12.htm
Extractions: Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Monday, March 15, 2004 by Inter Press Service Spain's New Leader Calls for Foreign Policy Overhaul by Tito Drago MADRID - Spain's Socialists, who staged a surprise victory at the polls Sunday, anticipate a major overhaul of the country's foreign policy. Under the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE), Spain's foreign policy will no longer be dependent on Washington, but will focus on a united Europe, and on improving relations with Latin America and the Arab world, say the party's leaders. PSOE leader and prime minister-elect Jos Luis Rodrguez Zapatero, former European Union special envoy to the Near East and probable future foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, and Socialist EU Deputy Francisca Sauquillo outlined the central points of the future government's foreign policy. My government will be deeply pro-European. We will recover our traditional strong ties with Europe, Latin America and the Mediterranean region, Rodrguez Zapatero told a news briefing Monday. Referring to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, he said George W. Bush and (Tony) Blair should engage in self-criticism because you can't bomb a country 'just in case'.

Kerrys Foreign Policy Record Suggests Few Differences With This is not too surprising, given that his top foreign policy advisors include USsupport for that countrys repressive rightwing government by falsely http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0305-03.htm
Extractions: Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, March 5, 2004 by CommonDreams.org by Stephen Zunes Those who had hoped that a possible defeat of President George W. Bush in November would mean real changes in U.S. foreign policy have little to be hopeful about now that Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has effectively captured the Democratic presidential nomination. That Senator Kerry supported the Bush Administrations invasion of Iraq and lied about former dictator Saddam Hussein possessing a sizable arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in order to justify it would be reason enough to not support him. (See my March 1, 2004 article Kerrys Support for the Invasion of Iraq and the Bush Doctrine Still Unexplained However, a look at his record shows that Kerrys overall foreign policy agenda has also been a lot closer to the Republicans than to the rank-and-file Democrats he claims to represent. This is not too surprising, given that his top foreign policy advisors include: Rand Beers, the chief defender of the deadly airborne crop-fumigation program in Colombia who has justified U.S. support for that countrys repressive right-wing government by falsely claiming that Al-Qaeda was training Colombian rebels; Richard Morningstar, a supporter of the dictatorial regime in Azerbaijan and a major backer of the controversial Baku-Tbilisi oil pipeline, which placed the profits of Chevron, Halliburton and Unocal above human rights and environmental concerns; and, William Perry, former Secretary of Defense, member of the Carlisle Group, and advocate for major military contractors.

Extractions: "The Truth About Corporations and the Taxes They Pay" ...Barbra Streisand Posted on April 12, 2004 Fueled by a weak economy, increasing tax breaks and heavy tax sheltering, corporate income taxes have reached an historical all-time low. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these revenues will remain at very low levels, even after the economy has recovered and possibly after the 2002 and 2003 tax bills have expired. According to Citizens for Tax Justice, Bush's 2002 and 2003 tax bills gave corporations tax breaks that estimated a total of $177 billion in fiscal years 2002-2005. The chart below reflects the annual reduced (-) income tax amounts in billion dollar increments. 2002 tax cut bill 2003 tax cut bill n/a Total thus far: Source: Joint Committee on Taxation, 2002 and 2003 (except as noted). While a weak economy has undoubtedly played a part in the loss of revenue generated from corporate taxes, other causes of reduced corporate income taxes include: Bush's Tax Cuts Bush's 2002 and 2003 tax bills provided the largest corporate tax cuts since the early 1980's.
On The Issue Of Wartime "Comfort Women" Official government response from the Japanese Ministry of foreign Affairs in 1993 on comfort women, their background, and recruitment. http://www.mofa.go.jp/policy/postwar/issue9308.html
Extractions: Cabinet Councillors' Office on External Affairs 1. Study background The issue of wartime "comfort women" has been attracting attention from both within and outside Japan, as actions have been brought to court in Japan by those concerned and the issue has been debated in the Diet. During Prime Minister Miyazawa's visit to the Republic of Korea in January 1992, the issue was brought up in the meeting between the Prime Minister and then President, Mr. Roh Tae Woo, in which the Korean side requested strongly that relevant facts be brought to light. Other countries and areas concerned also have shown strong interest in this issue. Under these circumstances, the Government of Japan, since December 1991, has been conducting a study by means of individual hearings of former military personnel and others concerned in parallel with a search for relevant documents. In addition, for five days from July 26 to 30, the Government of Japan conducted detailed regarding of former comfort women, with the cooperation of the Association of Pacific War Victims and Bereaved Families, in Seoul, the Republic of Korea, regarding the circumstances at the time. Furthermore, in the course of the study, government officials were sent to the United Sates to search for official U.S. documents and a field study was conducted in Okinawa as well. The following gives the details of the study, and a list of the documents discovered by the study is attached.
