Samuel P. Huntington, a political scientist best known for his views on the clash of civilizations, died Wednesday on Martha?s Vineyard. He was 81. Mr. Huntington argued that in a post-cold-war world, violent conflict would come not from ideological friction between nations, but from cultural and religious differences among the world?s major civilizations. He identified those civilizations as Western (including the United States and Europe), Latin American, Islamic, African, Orthodox (with Russia as a core state), Hindu, Japanese and ?Sinic? (including China, Korea and Vietnam). He made the argument in a 1993 article in the journal Foreign Affairs and then expanded the thesis into a book, ?The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order,? published in 1996. The book has been translated into 39 languages. Dan After Bush Manclipped by: bookwormyclippers remarks: Unpleasant episode from his unpopular presidency.

A $70m lawsuit filed by Dan Rather, the veteran former newsreader for CBS Evening News, against his old network is reopening the debate over alleged favourable treatment that Bush received when he served in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war. Bush had hoped that this controversy had been dealt with once and for all during the 2004 election. Bird Flu Strikes anew in VitNamclipped by: nedhamson1clippers remarks: The closer we get to Lunar New Year for Asians across the globe, the more we will hear about "new" outbreaks of the human pandemic in waiting. It takes 16 weeks to raise chickens, ducks and geese for live sale at Lunar New Year. Billions of poultry are being brought to market for live sale and thus create the largest breading ground for new flu and a pandemic that may kill millions who have not the means to fight a new flu.  HANOI (Reuters) - Bird flu has resurfaced in poultry in northern Vietnam after many months without any cases, killing ducks and chickens at two farms, a state-run newspaper reported on Sunday.
