It seems Peter needs to spend some more time w/ Ron Paul. The golden boy may know what he's talking about w/ economics but be on the PRO-PREEMPTIVE WAR bus, directly against the US constitutional mandate to 'keep out of it' so to speak. Send him a message to show your dismay/disapproval, wish to re-educate etc.

Schiff just defended PREEMPTIVE WAR! He gave an example using the false claim that “If Iran was making a nuclear weapon as they are supposedly doing…,” then stated “I’d ask the Iranians to let our inspectors in, then if they didn’t we’d blow them up.”

We have already written about the difficult fate of the Pacific state of Nauru after independence. It would be very unpleasant if another jewel of the Pacific - Solomon Islands, repeated the same mistakes.

Solomon Islands achieved independence from Britain in 1978. This state with a population of over half million people consists nearly a thousand islands, whose total area is 28 thousand square km. A very significant part of the Solomon Islands population continues living in the conditions of traditional society, preserving its tribal and community structures. This is largely due to the fact that European colonizers settled on the Solomon Islands later than on the other Oceania archipelagos since they were given hard rebuff their activity. Only in the 60s years of the XIX century, the European traders, planters and missionaries succeeded a firm foothold on the islands.

Since 1870, European slave traders and recruiters started to deliver the Solomon Islands inhabitants for working to the plantations in the Australian province of Queensland. The islanders were sold also to work on plantations in Fiji, New Caledonia and Samoa. While the islanders put up armed resistance, the slave traders were mercilessly killing those who resist or those who tried to flee. They staged bloody punitive expeditions and burned villages. The thousands islanders were dead of poor conditions and diseases on the plantations.

The legacy of the dark period Anglo-Australian colonization is a lopsided economy based on exports such goods as tropical timber, fish, copra and cocoa. But even this undeveloped economy has been undermined as a result of tribal conflict in 1999-2003.

In fact, the country has only just regained its economy. The state is now at the crossroads.

Solomon Islands, like Nauru, are rich in mineral resources. There are explored deposits of lead, zinc, nickel, gold, bauxite and phosphates. But the only

Characters/Pairings: Ben/OFC, Ben/Juliet, Ben/Locke
Rating: R
Wordcount: 3,566
Summary: During his exile from the Island, Ben spends the evening with a prostitute and reflects on two people he couldn't have.
Notes/Warnings: Spoilers S2-S4 and slight foreshadowing of The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham. Het and slash, but the latter two pairings are very much unrequited. Very minor OFC.

I wasn't entirely sure about posting something with het content here, so I tried to PM sage_of_spice, but nobody seems to be getting their messages lately. I'm definitely not a Ben/Juliet shipper, and Bocke is the real focus of the piece, but if I shouldn't have posted it here, feel free to delete/berate. :D
