As the FBI goes looking for some non-existent killer worm on the Net, and D.C. cops again comb the parks looking for Chandra Levy, the rest of the world seems to be collapsing into a state of chronic war. The day opens with a bombing in London, IRA, of course, that will serve nicely to direct those "peace talks" in whatever direction the authorites want them to go. You might call this week's events in Argentina "Another one bites the dust", country, that is. as thousands take to the streets to protest another cut in social programs in accordance with the diktat of the World Bank and IMF. Israel murders 15 Palestinians in one 24 hour period and a few predictable bleats are heard. Over a million in Nicaragua are threatened by drought and its consequences, starvation, which the President of the country denies.

It should have been a banner week for stocks in the arms industry. Reports from Congo estimate that 350,000 have died in that country's foreign fueled wars in the last decade while another 2 million fell victim to the side effects of war - famine and disease.

Japan is doctoring its history books in order to minimize their atrocities in the Pacific rim during World War II and Italy transfers three cops in response to the mess in Genoa... so much for government responsibility.
