I travelled to Qatar in the middle East to work alongside other documentary film makers and explore Transparency International's claim that Qatar is the least corrupt of all Arab nations. What does this mean? what is life like for residents? The Amir now allows parliamentary elections but why is his power unaffected by these supposedly democratic processes? these questions are all explored as well as the issue of where power lies in the nation and what may be in store for it's future.I travelled to Qatar in the middle East to work alongside other documentary film... more

Militancy for resourse gain is the most historically proven foreign policy, now, yesterday, and tomorrow. If your going to criticize war for oil you best the strange realistic brilliance of the practice. Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Libby, all the historically-aware realists that brought us Iraq II, had it all planned out and saw Sept 11 as the opportunity. So few liberals have ANY understanding of the depotic genius of neoconservative... more
