Many recall the playing of “Dixie,” the standard-bearer of the white South, on the streets of Birmingham, Alabama, during the 1960s; this city is where many of the worst and most violent Civil Rights Movement protests occurred. The South was preoccupied with their deep losses during the Civil War. This preoccupation was not unlike that of Nazi Germany, after Germany’s deep losses during WWI,

This was one of the most brutal, bloody and Godforsaken times ever in America. The Sixties in the South were bad for us, but the Civil War was far worse. Why the South “liked Dixie” and wanted to create another nation within the United States, one below the Mason-Dixon Line, is hard to fathom. People in the South even used to put on Civil War “recreations,” as if it was “fun” somehow,

My knowledge of Lebanon is extremely limited. But the events unfolding there right now have regional and international significance. The BBC reports that Hezbollah has taken over West Beirut. Gunmen from the Shia militant group Hezbollah have seized most of western Beirut, driving out supporters of the Western-backed government. The gunmen, who also back Hezbollah's Shia opposition allies, have forced the closure of pro-government media. The opposition said it would maintain roadblocks around Beirut until there was a solution to the political crisis. At least 11 people, mainly civilians, have been killed and dozens injured in the city in three days of clashes. The fighting was sparked by a government move on Monday to shut down Hezbollah's telecoms network. The UN Security Council has

What happens when a nation allows a group of people within it's borders to setup their own infrastructure and dispense their own version of justice?

Make no mistake. this is not a group of people who wish to secede

24lb Civil War Cannonball from Vicksburg, Ms, for sale on EbayVirgina native 53-year-old Sam White, an avid Civil War relic hunter and collector, was killed when a cannonball exploded on his driveway back in February. This was not the first time a Civil War collector was either killed or injured by an exploding cannonball. In 2006 a Georgia man, Lawrence Christopher, was severely injured while trying to deactivate a shell.According to the Chicago Tribune, White may have been trying to disarm a 9-inch 75lb naval cannonball, a type which used a more powerful explosive than those in the artillery. White may have been using a drill or grinder attached to the grill to remove grit from the ball. White's wife believes her husband had already disarmed the ball and that it was somehow defective. Wh

Americans of the present day, who are generally appalled when battlefield deaths reach even double-digit proportions, have almost no real comprehension of the tremendous loss of life suffered during the American Civil War. Because it all happened almost 150 years ago, it is easy for most to simply gloss over even a number as large as the 620,000 total deaths usually attributed to that war. That

The second night of Villiers-le-Bel marks an escalation that the media and the government would probably prefer to hush up, but which may be the start of a new stage: the use of firearms. In truth, the surprise is not that the rioters began to use them, but first, that they hadn't done it sooner [...] and second, that they are still confining themselves to hunting rifles and lead shot. The suburbs however have been armed for a long time with caches of quality war weapons, lethal weapons, against which the bullet-proof vests will be useless.In other words the situation is explosive in both meanings of the word. It seems that from one riot to the next the techniques harden, the methods become more professional and the police and gendarmes will soon have to confront, if they have not already, experts in urban guerilla warfare [...]I am convinced that up until now we have been lucky that the thugs and future murderers in the suburbs have not yet dared to use their fire power. I hope that

It has been reported that a game that is due for release in Spain tomorrow has caused uproar, with families saying that the title trivialises killings. Shadows of War: The Spanish Civil War, which is a real-time strategy title that allows players to take either side of the 1930s conflict. this game goes on sale on the anniversary of the death of dictator General Franco, who was widely thought of as being responsible for the 500,000 killings that took place during the war. Paco Perez who is the project director at developer Legend Games defended the game by saying that “As well as being entertaining, it could serve to remind people that they need to be conscious of past events to make sure they are not repeated.” The daughter of a man known as Franco’s first victim disagrees and says that “It is not a historical event buried in the past, but is very fresh in the memory of Spaniards. There is no justification for trivialising the killings and the suffering and pa

I'm really enjoying Life, probably because I like the Charlie Crews character so much. He has this awesome way about him where he is hyper observant, but not so much to details like Shaun Spencer in Psych, but rather to clues about people and what they are going through. He is intuitive instead of hyper observant. I take back my previous statement that he is hyper observant. That week we learn more about the conspiracy against Charlie. We learn about how Dani's father was the head of S.W.A.T. and she has a real touchy side when it comes to that day.The story in this one was pretty interesting too. I was half paying attention and hadn't realized that the gas station owner had a romantic relationship with Amir. Totally missed that, I thought it was all on the up and up. And I thought that maybe Charlie could settle down a bit and find someone that was a good fit for him. However I think that Charlie shot the woman's son and well some things you just don't get past.

Live Science has an article up today about how Civil War soldiers used to spread rumors in an attempt to keep morale up during the war. While most of the rumors were fairly normal, such as telling buddies Ulysses S Grant was actually dead, one wonders what other kinds of secrets were told amongst troops in those days. The article declares that the tales told became more and more outlandish as time went on. Now I have this picture in my head of manly men sitting around a fire talking gossip in airhead valley girl style voices. Someone needs to make one of those identity theft commercials in that vein. I swear I’m not mentioning this just because I wanted to draw the picture to the right. Really.

With 19 Arabs killed by Arabs in 24 hours, mortar shells at Abu Mazen's office, and a rocket at Hamas PM Haniye's home, what has until now been known as "violence" is now widely being called, even in Gaza, all-out civil war. The fighting in Gaza is now in its latest and most severe round since it broke out well over a year ago. Nearly 100 Arabs have been injured since Monday, and more than 80 have been killed in the current round of fighting. More...

Last week, the Lebanese people commemorated the 22 anniversary of start of civil war. And each Thursday Marcel Ghanem, Lebanon's most prominent TV presenter, hosts a talk show, "Kalem al Nass" on LBC. So on the eve of that infamous anniversary the show was about the civil war, and Ghanem asked the Lebanese a crucial question "will you be willing to take up arms again and fight your fellow Lebanese…"Unfortunately, 9 out of 10 male callers professed their willingness, even their eagerness to fight. I was not surprised… You could feel this "esprit de guerre" or war logic in the streets, in conversations, in any social gathering, even between educated people.Lebanese politicians are famous for their changing allegiance and overnight alliances, yet the current rhetoric of exclusion and accusations have deeply affected the population at large. I fear that the gaping chasm which divides our society will need years and years to heal, if the situation does not deteriorate.Fina

Perhaps We can Still AvoidThe Third Civil WarBy David Truskoff10 March, 2007Countercurrents.orgMarch 7th 1965 is the day the Selma civil rights marchers were beaten trying to march for freedom. On March 9th we re-grouped and started the historic Selma to Montgomery Freedom March. Presidential candidates are planning to attend this year’s anniversary celebration. They will again embarrass most of us who made that March with their hypocritical promises of a better America for all races.When I wrote the book THE SECOND CIVIL WAR it was with a great deal of emotion and yes, some tears. I think that it is important that on this day liberals at least read the introduction to the book.INTRODUCTIONThe first time that I met LeRoy Jerome Moton was in March of 1965, one hundred years after the first battle of Selma. He was in his late teens, and the Messiah had come to his hometown. The six-foot gangling youth glowed in the Messiah’s reflection.It was all a beautiful dream. Martin Luther King

Another really silly comics article from Scripps-Howard News Service that's just simply lame: Let's note for the record that Marvel is not sending out press releases alerting us the gi-humongous crossover storyline holding up virtually every title has been delayed again. The final issue of "Civil War," which was originally scheduled for November and then January, now won't appear until February. Probably. In the meantime, there's plenty of "Civil War" to go around, including "Civil War: The Return" (probably of Thor) No. 1, "Black Panther" No. 24 (where T'Challa joins Captain America's guerrillas), "Blade" No. 5 (featuring Wolverine) and "Punisher War Journal" No. 3 (Punny vs. Cap). Not to mention "Ultimate Civil War Spider-Ham Crisis (featuring Wolver-Ham)" (all titles $2.99), in which Marvel parodies its own story with anthropomorphic animals subbing for the usual heroes.So let's see, the finale to this utterly worthless crossover has been delayed (they seem to refrain from be

Like I have said before, FOX News can find the silver lining in anything. In February, FNC was pushing the “civil war = good” meme. (Same show, no less!) Apparently old habits die hard. Guest host Stuart Varney on Your World with Neil Cavuto (via Think Progress): STUART VARNEY: Well, let me put out something positive about Iraq, if I may for a second. Look, we took the fight to the enemy. We divided the enemy. The enemy is now fighting itself. America's interest is surely being well-preserved and well-protected. We are in a fact, in a way, winning and preserving our interests. [emphasis added] The suggestion that the enemy is solely “fighting itself” is ridiculous. December surpassed October as the bloodiest month of the war this year with the U.S. death toll at 106 dead with two days left. Furthermore, the war cheerleaders pushed this idea that Iraq would be a model for the rest of the Middle East. Moderates in Iran would be empowered to topple the fundamenta

Youssef Ibrahim writes in the NY Sun that a civil war is likely to happen, Muslim vs. Muslim, and Fatah vs. Hamas: This year has been momentous for the Middle East, but 2007 is going to be dramatic. In the Gaza Strip and West Bank, a full-scale factional war will erupt among the Palestinian Arabs, with unpredictable consequences. This time around, the "brotherhood" is over. Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other assorted mafias will participate, while outside sponsors such as Iran, Syria, and Jordan will supply the bullets, rockets, money, and ill-will.That's one more reason why sanctions must be declared against them, and Fatah, just like Hamas, must be outlawed.

The Comics Buyer's Guide's Capt. Comics wrote an interview with Joe Quesada about Civil War in issue #1619 that took a swipe at the detractors of the company wide crossover:CBG: With "Civil War" coming on the heels of DC's successful "Infinite Crisis," the online cynics are snarking that Marvel's crossover is a "me too" response, and even the fair-minded wince at the timing. What would you say to counter this perception?Really, is that so? And who might those "online cynics" be or include? The blogosphere, for example? I don't know, but all the same, as an online writer myself, I'm honored to be called a cynic! LOL, I'm sure he didn't intend to, yet that's what he succeeded in doing - making me for one feel honored by the implication of cynicism! Ha ha!Seriously now, the interview still misses the bigger picture, such as the mass interruption of the natural flow for only so many once great titles at Marvel, continuing the assault on Spider-Man's ability to be en
