The Weird Religions of Cheney’s Empire: The Pantheo-cons
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
The forces committed to reversing the principles of the Treaty of Westphalia, which rescued Europe from a 1511-1648 period of religious wars, are relying largely upon developing and deploying a U.S.A.-based pantheistic religious-political movement, in fact a fascist movement, already comparable to, and, potentially, a worse, nuclear menace for humanity as a whole, than the Nazi regime.

Gingrich at AEI: The Return of the Undead
by Jeffrey Steinberg
The former Speaker of the House’s diatribe against Secretary of State Colin Powell was a carefully calculated move on the part of the neo-conservative cabal within the Bush Administration, including Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld. But their plan to replace Powell with Gingrich is already backfiring, as President Bush reportedly viewed the Gingrich speech as an attack on himself. “This is the most stupid, but understandable mistake that the friends of Newt Gingrich ever made,” commented Lyndon LaRouche.

Why the ‘Surprising’ Rise of Shi’ite Power in Iraq?
by Hussein Askary
Contrary to the views of some Western analysts, the Shi’ite emergence as a political force is not a harbinger of sectarian strife, which has been unknown in Iraq’s modern history. But if the United States and Britain pursue policies that foster the continued deterioration of the Iraqi people’s living standards, and political instability in the country, a disastrous plunge into sectarian warfare could occur in the short term.

FEC Report: Presidential Candidate LaRouche Has Broadest Support
