O Moscow Times publicou um artigo do diretor do Institute of Globalization Studies em Moscow, Boris Kagarlitsky, criticando a contratação do economista russo Yegor Gaidar para o esforço de reconstrução do Iraque. Gaidar foi um dos principais atores da reintrodução do capitalismo na Rússia depois do fim do comunismo.

Kagarlitsky diz que a contratação de Gaidar seria uma vingança contra o povo iraquiano.

Think about it. You would really have to despise the Iraqi people to send in Gaidar to reform their economy. No other European economist in peace time has managed in two short years to reduce a country's standard of living by half, to destroy industrial output to the same extent, and to turn an industrialized country into a developing country.

O ativista aproveita para criticar tb outros economistas "neo-liberais" como Jeffery Sachs, Domingo Cavallo...

U.S. economist Jeffery Sachs became the first of the roving reformers when he took it upon himself for some reason to transform Bolivia. The unfortunate Latin American country has been reeling ever since from Indian uprisings and police strikes. Nonetheless, Latin America soon began to export roving experts of its own, such as former Argentine Economics Minister Domingo Cavallo, architect of the brilliant financial policy that led his country into bankruptcy.

Having reformed our own economy nearly to death, we are ready to share our know-how with less advanced nations.

Said Amanpour: "I think the press was muzzled, and I think the press self-muzzled. I'm sorry to say, but certainly television and, perhaps, to a certain extent, my station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at Fox News. And it did, in fact, put a climate of fear and self-censorship, in my view, in terms of the kind of broadcast work we did."

A alternet publicou um artigo mostrando que o número de mulheres ativistas aumentou depois do 9/11. Segundo a jornalista Marlene Nadle, é uma reação às soluções violentas da tradição masculina.

The new organizing is more than an attack on personalities. As Jasmina Tesanovic, a member of Women in Black in Serbia, says, "My enemy is no longer a bad hero, or a politician, or a person in power, but the culture that makes such primitive people possible and empowers them." The organizing is part of a culture war to end the love of military glory, power, dominance and hierarchy often taught as part of male traditions. New Profile, a women's group in Israel, demands a complete reevaluation of its country's "military consciousness."
