UN raises quake aid appeal by Wednesday 26 October 2005 6:46 AM GMT Oxfam says aid pledges fall far short of needs The United Nations has nearly doubled its appeal for aid for victims of the South Asia earthquake, as a leading charity accused wealthy nations of failing to respond to the disaster. With the UN now seeking more than half a billion dollars in emergency funds, UK-based relief agency Oxfam said the response from many of the w...
The US war with Iran has already begun by Scott Ritter Sunday 19 June 2005 12:06 PM GMT Americans, along with the rest of the world, are starting to wake up to the uncomfortable fact that President George Bush not only lied to them about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (the ostensible excuse for the March 2003 invasion and occupation of that country by US forces), but also about the very process that led to war. On 16 October 2002, President Bu...
http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050520/w052036.html I do not get this one. The US is the country who actually sent Arar to Syria, though he was a Canadian citizen, shouldn't the US be blamed too? They have been found to have been torturing people which is clearly against the Geneva conventions yet I don't see any action being taken against them.

China does not ...
There is no doubt this is based on separatist activity. I have found the claims of the Uighur Protesters contradicted in so many ways. A few interesting facts: 1. Xinjiang has 13 Ethnic Minorities, most of which are Muslims, yet only Uighur's are protesting and they are the majority in Xinjiang http://www.china.org.cn/english/MATERIAL/139389.htm 2. Uighur's are exempt from China's one child policy 3. The two Uighur's killed in the Shaoguan Toy Fac...
Bet you were only there as a tourist. Offcourse, you only saw what China wants to present Xinkiang to the world. Suggest you talk to local people, and special those living in south part of Xinkiang next time when you are there. Yes, every religion calls for peace and harmony, but what if you can not pratice your relligion freely, and you are discriminated just because you are a muslim. As a chinese muslim, good for you, you are not practicing your religion th...
