Der kurze Sommer der Anarchie
Eine neue Bewegung erobert die Städte. Wildfremde Menschen verabreden sich per Internet und proben den öffentlichen Unsinn. Die Flash Mobs verschwinden genauso schnell, wie sie gekommen sind. Was wollen sie uns sagen?
Bei vielen Menschen ist es bereits eine Unverschämtheit, wenn sie Ich sagen.“ Adornos Satz ist nie so tief begriffen worden wie in diesen Zeiten. In den aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Bewegungen ist das Ich kein Thema. Diese Bewegungen nennen sich mobs, also Herden, Meuten, Horden, das Ich kommt in ihnen nicht vor. Und glaubt man den Soziologen, so werden die Mobs uns weiterhin begleiten, ja, sie werden uns in die Zukunft treiben.

In einem Land ohne Wahlen wäre ich wohl Terrorist
Silvio Berlusconi, Premierminister Italiens, beschimpfte die Richter seines Landes als geistesgestört und verharmloste die Diktatur Mussolinis. Das Skandal-Interview mit dem Meister der verbalen Entgleisungen. Wieder einmal hatte es Silvio Berlusconi geschafft, mit seinem undisziplinierten Mundwerk einen mittleren Skandal zu provozieren. Und dies ausgerechnet anlässlich seines ersten Auftritts als EU-Ratspräsident Anfang Juli. Der deutsche Europa-Abgeordnete Martin Schulz, ein strammer SPDler, hatte ihm vor versammeltem Parlament mangelhaftes Rechtsbewusstsein und liederliches Demokratieverständnis unterstellt.

Gefangen genommen wurden die mutmaßlichen Terrorsympathisanten von der US-Armee im Afghanistan-Krieg 2001. Laut einem US-Urteil können sie unbegrenzt festgehalten werden. Nun soll dem "Guardian" zufolge in dem Hochsicherheitslager eine "Todeskammer" eingerichtet werden.

Schwarzenegger, Rice Eye Calif. Gov. Race
The Terminator versus the national security adviser for California governor in 2006?
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, weighing a run for the job, met Thursday with Karl Rove, President Bush's top political adviser.
If he decides to run, Schwarzenegger may face a challenge from national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, who has spoken to senior Republicans about running for California's top job, according to a Bush adviser. Rice's candidacy is a "real possibility," this adviser said, adding that Rice wants to take on an executive role.

Bush puts God on his side
Before September 11, President George W Bush kept his evangelical Christian beliefs largely to himself. He had turned to God at the age of 40 as a way of kicking alcoholism, and his faith had kept him on the straight and narrow ever since, giving him the drive to reach the White House.
But all that changed on the day of the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.
Those close to Mr Bush say that day he discovered his life's mission.
