Australia is facing a federal election on October 9th with the two main parties having little to separate them in domestic and economic policy. Where the Liberal and Labor parties differ greatly is in foreign policy. The Liberal Party adheres to the "Great and Powerful Friends" doctrine while the Labor Party pursues the doctrine of "Asian Engagement".        Since the September 11th attacks on the United States, terrorism has been thrust to the fore as the dominant security issue facing western nations. Australia has not had a terrorist attack on its shores; but two attacks in Bali and Jakarta have occurred in Indonesia that can be construed as terrorist attacks against Australia. Consequently terrorism for Australia is a foreign policy issue. On this basis the competing foreign policies of the Liberal Party and Labor Party can be compared.

The precious balance between individual freedoms and national security has never been defined in absolutes. In times of war, when our security is threatened, people are asked to make concessions with their freedoms.

GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba  - A Canadian accused of killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan should not be tried as a war criminal because he was a child soldier for al Qaeda, too young to voluntarily join its forces, his military defense lawyer told a U.S. war court on Monday.

Brazil is a largely pacifist country in South America. Our last war was fought against Paraguay in the 19th century, when we pretty much leveled the then enemy country, once the most developed in the region, today a haven for contrabandists and counterfeiters. There were also some internal conflicts througout brazilian history, a bloody conservative dictatorship in the 20th century - though not as bloody as in Argentina or Chile - and today we witness a daily struggle between police forces and drugs and arms dealers, robbers and the like in big cities. That said, most brazilians wouldn't ever imagine our country going to war nowadays. It's just... Not brazilian! The september 11 attacks on World Trade Center and the Pentagon were a shock for all of us, as it was for most people in the world. Everything stopped as we held our breath in front of our TV sets. Friends called each other asking "Did you see it? I can't believe!". Most people felt compassion for the dead, their families and all americans. On the other hand, many people did not.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is astounding. Not as much as a film - although it is cunning and moving â-ut as an event. What makes it an event is the fact that it is an effective and independent intervention into immediate world politics.

I am reminded of an event 93 years ago, in which Franz Ferdinand was shot, plummetting Europe into war. World War III is coming, and the flashpoint is the Islamic world. Much like Serbia in 1913, it is fragile and fragmented and there is a determination by a large focused interest group to see violence done in the name of their agenda. And, in the use of violence, they have successfully advanced their agenda.
