Sri Lanka today observed its 60th Independence Day amid tight security here, even as fighting is said to have intensified between government troops and the rebel Tamil Tigers. Security forces were placed on a state of high alert in Colombo and in other parts of the country, as a military parade was being watched by President Mahinda Rajapakse, other dignitaries and the general public in the island-nation's capital. A series of bombings over the weekend, which were reportedly masterminded by the rebel LTTE, has claimed 37 lives. Twelve of the 37 were killed in a suicide bomb attack at the main railway station on Sunday, while 18 died in a bus blast in Dambulla on Saturday. Seven were killed by a blast inside a suburban zoo. In a speech marking the 60th anniversary of independence, President Mahinda Rajapaksa said Sri Lanka was facing the challenge of eradicating terrorism and poverty. The parade is the first major event since the truce officially ended. Much of the centre of Colo
Sri Lanka is observing the 60th Independence Day today amidst tight security marked by bomb attacks against innocent civilians and ferocious fighting against Tamil rebels. Addressing the Independence Day parade, President Mahinda Rajapakse said Sri Lanka was facing the challenge of eradicating terrorism and poverty. A large military parade is under way to mark the Independence Day anniversary. At least 11 people were killed in a suicide bomb attack onboard a train at the main railway station on the eve of celebrations. On Saturday, 18 died in a bus blast in Dambulla. Both attacks were blamed by the government on the Tamil Tigers rebels, though the rebels have denied involvement. Security forces are on high alert after a series of bombings. Much of the centre of Colombo has been sealed off by military checkpoint. Thousands of police and troops are on the streets and the navy has stepped up coastal patrols to combat a possible sea-borne attack. This year Independence Day celebrations

The steep Asian and European stock market fall seriously challenges the recent wisdom that the global markets have finally become independent of and immune to any slide in the US economy. If anything, the panic on the Asian and European stock markets only underscores how seriously misplaced this assertion was.The subprime loan crisis, which is devouring America's real estate industry, was considered a local problem by many outside the US until they discovered how many major global players in fact stood quite close to the fire - thanks to complex deal making that goes on behind such mortgages.As late as Monday, many in the US believed that the Federal Reserve, which sets the country's monetary policy, would prefer to let the subprime market crisis sort itself out. However, the scale and spread of the market panic in Asia and Europe reversed that view practically overnight with the Fed, as the Federal Reserve is known, intervened on Tuesday with the biggest interest rate cut of 0.75 perc

John Bolton said last Friday that "US foreign policy is in free fall and that President Bush needs to reign in Secretary of State Rice".

Former Ambassador Bolton had many criticism of the Bush administration in his latest book "Failure is not a Option" Israel knows what's going on but is failing to see the truth behind Rice's actions. What are Israel's options. Unfortunely very few with the current government in power. Israel needs to do what ever is necessary to become independent, and to become independent now.

Yesterday I wrote that “Kosovo declaring independence would be bad, because it would anger Russia, who the U.S. needs to help sanction Iran at the Security Council.”One thing I didn’t mention at all throughout the article is another reason some are concerned about Kosovo declaring independence. Countries of the E.U. are worried that, should Kosovo break away, it will set a precedent for break away regions in their own countries. Specifically:• Catalonia (Spain)• Basque (Spain)• Ossetia (Georgia)• Abkhazia (Georgia)• Nagorno-Karabakh (Azerbaijan)• Transnistria (Moldova)Not mentioned on this list, but making many more headlines than these regions, is Kurdistan. Though the countries which Kurdistan has ‘citizens’ in are not part of the European Union, the Kurds will be affected just as strongly by a declaration of independence.

Photo: turkmenistan.gov.tmToday, October 27, is the 16th anniversary of Turkmenistan's independence. It is a day of great importance to the Turkmen people and also to those of us who have become acquainted with the nation and its citizens through reading the Ruhnama.Turkmenbashy writes:Our independence and neutrality illuminate our Golden century and are illuminated by our national values. Reviving with Ruhnama, God willing, we can alter our future in the Golden Age. In the Golden century, in the 21st century, our main aim is to build a Turkmen nation which can be a model for the entire world. With our independence, which lets us now cut our own cloth to fit, and our neutrality which spreads the sign of peace in the world, our nation will also prove itself a model in human relations by displaying its affluent spirit.May our people and state live in security under our tranquil sky.Ruhnama I, p. 238.It was Turkmenistan's independence that allowed Turkmenbashy to begin reshaping his natio
I found the following read disturbing at first, since it just seems so wrong. Ukraine has been around as an entity for well over 1000 years, but less than 5% of that time were they independent. Their history has always been the history of another. But that's not all that different from other places in Europe either. So to develop a new national identity, I guess it's natural that some aspects of the past will be glossed over, toned down, spiced up, ignored, or just plain made up. Read and decide for yourself.Remaking History in a Kiev MuseumBy Dmitry ShlapentokhConstructing a new national identity often requires a new vision of the past. In Ukraine, this phenomenon can be seen in several of Kiev's museums.Exhibits at the Museum of the Army of Ukraine show the Ukrainians as European people who enjoyed monolithic unity while busily liberating themselves from the "Asiatic" Russians.Ukrainian history has emerged differently in the other major national museum, the Museum of Ukrainian H
October 3, 2007Dan Keating, life-long Irish republican and patron of Republican Sinn Fin has died today after a short illness. he was 105 years old.Keating, born on January 2, 1902 and raised in the townland of Ballygamboon, Castlemaine, County Kerry, received his education in local schools, including the Christian Brothers' School in Tralee. Tralee was also the place where Keating did his apprenticeship. During this time he became a skillful Gaelic football player in his native Kerry.Dan Keating joined Fianna ireann in 1918. In 1920, during the Irish War of Independence, he joined the Boherbee B Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Kerry Brigade, Irish Republican Army.

It's July 4th and a huge holiday here in the U.S. - the day of our Independence from England. It's America's 231st birthday this year. :) Most people get the day off, so I hope you are enjoying it. I am working like always
Today is not just the 4th of July, as many only know it as, but it is the commemoration and celebration of our American Independence Day! Today is a great day to fly our Colors with pride. Many will celebrate with parades, fireworks, backyard barbecues and so on. It is a great day to get together with family and friends. or simply to relax.

Happy Independence Day! Here's hoping you enjoy the day celebrating with family and friends (and maybe catching a ball game). The Day by Day Database is up to date....
I have to say that Im not in much of a July 4th kind of mood this morning. Usually, this is the day each year when I enjoy waking up early and listening to a recitation of the Declaration of Independence that National Public Radio so ably produces annually. Hearing the words by which our founding fathers declared themselves separate and free from the tyranny of the British King George III tends to root a person in the revolutionary democratic idea that formed this nation.
Unfortunately, its hard to see that idea much in evidence today in America. People are especially demoralized now, by seeing that just before the holiday, the President chose to cover his Administrations backside by commuting the jail sentence of Vice President Cheneys righthand man before he had to think of either serving his sentence or turning states evidence on his former employer. Demoralization is an important tool in the arsenal this Administration employs to retain power in the face o
Happy Independence Day everybody! I am feeling very patriotic. But I am a little nervous about the loud fireworks tonight. Sometimes they make me a little scairt. Here I am checking out my new Fourth of July outfit. It has a denim skirt with red, white and blue stars embroidered on the front. And I got this cute coordinating tank top! I can hardly believe I get to wear such a cute outfit! I think it will be perfect for the holiday parties today. I hope Skeezix likes it! I am just a little worried because I think his outfit is much fancier than mine. Do you think I am underdressed?This is a sideways pose I thought up all by myself! Because I am a very creative and professional model.Sometimes after modeling I get to play with my fashions. That is very fun. I hope I see you all at the parties today! I will try to keep my clothing on.
It's not just another excuse to drink. The total loss of life resulting from the American Revolutionary War is unknown. As was typical in the wars of the era, disease claimed more lives than battle. Historian Joseph Ellis suggests that Washington's decision to have his troops inoculated against the smallpox epidemic was one of his most important decisions. An estimated 25,000 American Revolutionaries died during active military service. About 8,000 of these deaths were in battle; the other 17,000 deaths were from disease, including about 8,000 who died while prisoners of war. The number of Revolutionaries seriously wounded or disabled by the war has been estimated from 8,500 to 25,000. The total American military casualty figure was therefore as high as 50,000. About 171,000 seamen served for the British during the war; about 25 to 50 percent of them had been pressed into service. About 1,240 were killed in battle, while 18,500 died from disease. The greatest killer was scurvy
The 4th of July is really about America's Independence. When America is at War it is worth our time to remember that during our War for Independence we were fighting for life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness, equality, and we still value
That's correct, folks. For those of you not history majors (or my children, who had to listen to the story every year for the last 20+) -- Congress did NOT declare the colonies free and independent states on July 4, 1776. The resolution declaring independence was adopted without dissent on July 2, 1776. (The vote was 12-0, New York abstained, courteously, whilst awaiting instructions.)Richard Lee and John Adams arrived at the Continental Congress prepared to argue for independence, fully aware that those sentiments may not be entirely embraced by the gathering.In early June, Lee proposed a resolution severing colonial ties to the British: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved." Adams seconded it.Debate on the Resolution revealed a majority in fav
