(MintPress) – The Burlington City Council voted resoundingly in favor of a resolution opposing expansion of the Alberta tar sands pipeline in Vermont calling the international project an unacceptable risk to “public health and safety, property values and our natural resources.” Tar sands drilling has expanded virtually unabated as major oil corporations eye major profits by using […]

Little remarked upon last month except by the anti-war left and the journalists covering the foreign policy beat for an elite readership, the United States has given notice to the Islamic Republic of Iran that it has by March to begin substantive cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), or else. That else, it would […]

(MintPress) – After an election sold on the candidate who was most likely to prioritize job creation in the U.S., rather than shipping employment overseas, the U.S. finds itself in the midst of a trade agreement that would deliver the latter. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Free Trade Agreement seeks to expand trade relationships with Australia, […]

(MintPress) – It’s rare to have a fight over a political nominee when he or she hasn’t been nominated in the first place (Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has not announced her retirement yet, so there is no position to fill). But, when it comes to Susan Rice, U.N. ambassador for the United States and […]

With the third and final presidential debate on Monday night set to focus on foreign policy, Iran will once again take center stage. The issue will be all the more charged since the New York Times reported this weekend— and the White House quickly denied — that the U.S. and Iran had all but agreed to new negotiations. […]

(MintPress) – The Newsweek cover was met with furor. It read “Muslim rage,” over-simplifying and generalizing an entire population of people over the extremist actions of a few. It offended, degraded and belittled the majority who insist on Islam as a predominantly peaceful religion. Perhaps lost in the rhetoric surrounding the events is the idea that […]
