From Nicaragua, Juan Ortega pays tribute to Alexis Argüello, a former boxing champion and politician [es], who recently passed away. Even though Ortega was too young to remember watching Argüello's marches, he recalls hearing his grandmother speak very highly of the boxer.
Steve's Dominica is “not Happy” about “The recently released ‘Happy Planet Index' report”, which seems to have forgotten about the Caribbean.
Blogging from Trinidad and Tobago, This Beach Called Life makes the connection between the King of Pop and ethics: “While people mourn Michael Jackson’s death they illegally download his music. We in the dotty Third World crave to be First World and use any means possible to appear to be by playing the same music and mourning in the same fashion, even if it means acting unethically, if not illegally.”

After the end of the Cold War, the US and the West are in search of an enemy to justify NATO and arms buildup. Russia has been designated the enemy in the post Cold War era, a self-fulfilling enemy designation. By isolating Russia and surrounding it with new NATO members, Russia will be driven to a costly arms race negating their rising economic power. Russians and Orthodox Ukrainians have much in common. The origins of the Russian state is in Kiev. NATO should be disbanded and the EU should welcome all European states, Russia west of the Urals included.
Kyiv is the bedrock of the Ukrainian state, Moscow is the bedrock of the Russian state.
Moscow was founded by Yuriy Dologoruki, Prince of Kyiv. It was after more than a century of Tatar rule that Moscow, also known as the Grand Duchy of Moscow, proclaimed itself “Rossiya” in a self-glorification bid. “Rossiya” is the Greek name for Rus.
We should not confuse Russia with Kyivan Rus, lest we forget the difference between Native American Indians and India.
