India seeking 'closer Iran ties'

Both India and China need natural gas and oil to support their growing economies, that is a problem for the U.S. as they both seek alliances with Iran for their energy needs. - Rick

"Last month, the US ambassador to Delhi was reported warning that a deal giving India US nuclear technology could collapse if India did not back the motion against Iran, although he later said his comments were taken out of context.
Mr Singh also recommitted his government to building a gas pipeline through Pakistan to Iran - a seven billion dollar project fiercely opposed by Washington.
Our correspondent says the timing of the announcement is also particularly sensitive, given that President Bush is due in Delhi next month."

The Republican Guard Take-a-Bathists

Most Americans, including most Republicans, want out of Iraq. But President Bush is ignoring this. He continues to rally his supporters around the banner of victory over the Iraqi resistance movement. This, he cannot deliver. This, his supporters will not experience. But they will not go away, either. So, for the Republican Party after 2008, these die-hard Bushites will be electoral poison.

Non-Intervention and Its Discontents by Gary North

Anyone whose ideological roots are in the Old Right and who goes into print against the latest military crusade starts getting letters from conservatives. These letters begin with some variation of "if liberals like you . . . ." The critics do not have in mind nineteenth-century liberalism. They assume that anyone who opposes war is a pacifist, and that all pacifists except the Amish are leftists.

Why is this? For that matter, why is it that the outraged letters always come from conservatives? Why don't we get letters from outraged liberals? In all of America's military crusades, liberals in Congress and the White House vote for the war. Usually, the Left initiates this country's entry into war: World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam. Toss in Somalia and the Balkans as side-shows.

"The war for humanity, so far as its result is concerned, looks distressingly like an old-fashioned land-grab."

J. Gresham Machen Was Right About the Gulf Crisis

When evangelicals such as Dean Curry (A World Without Tyranny) encourage us simply to absorb a Reagan/Bush-style foreign policy as properly Biblical, the heroic defender of Protestant orthodoxy, J. Gresham Machen (1881-1937) highlights our sad captivity to the foreign policy status quo.
Machen is not only known for his passionate and principled defense of Biblical orthodoxy against Protestant apostasy but also for his intense concern for the public issues of his day.
Machen openly interacted with questions regarding state education, freedom of expression, and social progress. He spoke out against the "alarming bureaucratization of the United States" and Christianity's opposition to "soul-killing collectivism." He stridently opposed the proposed Child Labor Amendment -- "a heartless cruelty masquerading under the guise of philanthropy" -- and even testified before Congressional committees against the effort to establish a Federal Department of Education.
