Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

How about Mermaid? You can edit posts, too, to correct mistakes.

But anyway, the place to look for news is, as always, ZNet. This article in particular seems to be exactly what you're looking for. I think it's also published in Z Magazine this month, which the Good Library does subscribe to.

ZNet also has a large number of "Watch" pages where articles relating to specific topics are organized. Try the Terror/War Watch for more articles.

Another thing you can do at the library is check out Alternative Press Index. It's located with the rest of the indices in the reference room, near the beginning because it starts with "A." In fact, it's always a good place to start when writing any paper that has a political element. Unfortunately the Good Library only subscribes to a handful of the many excellent publications indexed, but you might very well find useful articles in the Progessive, the Nation, In These Times, or more in Z Magazine.

On a personal note, you might want to include a section on how the Bush administration is doing nothing to deal with what is almost definitely the most serious threat: a terrorist attack using nuclear weapons. Biological and chemical attacks get a lot of press, but really those haven't been very effective when used in the past. Modern medicine can easily control even the nastiest diseases and you need an enormous amount of chemicals to kill more than a handful of people.

While it would be difficult for terrorists to get their hands on a working nuclear bomb, if they could do so they could use it to devastating effect. It wouldn't be that hard to rent a van, put the bomb in the back, and drive it towards the White House. Personally, I'm counting on the IMF and World Bank monoliths to protect me from the blast. This is a very real threat and by invading Iraq Bush has made it all the more likely to occur.
