Hello,
Our fund raising drive has been a moderate success. 30 people responded to our appeal and contributed a total of about $ 1500, just enough for us to surive for 5 months. Many more people wrote in to express their solidarity. The real meaning of the drive was more than the amount of money that was raised, it was the show of solidarity by the CC well wishers. You told me with your good will that I'm not alone in this struggle and it gives me the strenth to continue this battle towards a better future! Thank you all

Obama's Disastrous Afghan Plan
By Ann Robertson
http://www.countercurrents.org/robertson020409.htm
True security will only be achieved, not by deploying more troops, but by bringing all U.S. troops home from all over the world. But this will only happen when working people choose to redefine the fundamental principles of this society and insist, through a democratic process, that we begin to produce in order to raise everyone's standard of living, not for corporate profits where the aim is to make the rich even richer
Combating Piracy In The Gulf Of Aden
Via Multilateral Means: A Pyrrhic Victory?
By Nazery Khalid
http://www.countercurrents.org/khalid020409.htm
The multilateral, UN-sanctioned initiatives to deter piracy in the waters off Somalia and in the strategic Gulf of Aden (GOA) have been touted by many maritime security analysts as a great leap forward in the fight against piracy. Indeed, the school of thought of multilateral actions to combat this scourge at sea is fast converting disciples and winning adherents on the back of several cases of skirmishes between pirates and naval forces in GOA in favor of the good guys. However, upon deeper contemplation, this approach may be nothing more than a hollow victory and no more than a stop gap, short term response of the issue of piracy

By Jason Leopold
http://www.countercurrents.org/leopold020409.htm
Despite now overwhelming evidence that ex-President George W. Bush and many top aides engaged in a systematic policy of illegal torture, national Democrats appear to be shying away from their recommendation last year for a special prosecutor to investigate these apparent war crimes

The modern phenomena i.e. Terror factory is single handedly responsible for the collapse of rarest resource i.e. Human Resource.

The need of the hour is to stop all talk and do a piece of action or in any case swing into action
Hypocrisy Of Brahminical And Mainstream
Feminist Movements
By Surendra Gopinath Rote
http://www.countercurrents.org/rote020409.htm
Mainstream feminist movement could focus on the livelihood issues of women. However, the point is not to feed the stomach only but it is question of self respect, dignity and of equal status which all denied by caste system. My question still stands there those feminist who worships Rama, Krishna, Shiva and Ganesh how could they become the emancipatory force for Dalit women or even for mainstream women?
