As global warming threatens to destroy human life on Earth, David Zink details the various alternative energy options and the political struggles to win a new direction on energy consumption. Joelle Fishman, chair of the Communist Party’s Political Action Commission, discusses looming congressional battles for peace, workers’ rights, universal health care, and more. Prasad Venugopal and Joel Wendland examine the causes and consequences of the US and Ethiopian invasion of Somalia. Rémy Herrera looks at the political economic issues behind Bush’s endless war. With an evolving role in global affairs, China’s international policies threaten to impede and even undermine US global hegemony, writes Gerald Horne. Why do US government policies seem to reflect Washington’s own definition of what terrorism is? asks Nooshin Shabani.
