Warring Souls $23.48 With the first Fulbright grant for research in Iran to be awarded since the Iranian revolution in 1979, Roxanne Varzi returned to the country her family left before the Iran-Iraq war. Drawing on ethnographic research she conducted in Tehran between 1991 and 2000, she provides an eloquent account of the beliefs and experiences of young, middle-class, urban Iranians. As the first generation to have come of age entirely in the period since the founding of the Islamic Republic of Iran, twenty-something Iranians comprise a vital index of the success of the nation’s Islamic Revolution. Varzi describes how, since 1979, the Iranian state has attempted to produce and enforce an Islamic public sphere by governing behavior and by manipulating imagesâ??particularly images related to religious martyrdom and the bloody war with Iraq during the 1980sâ??through films, murals, and television shows. Yet many of the young Iranians Varzi studied quietly resist the government’s conflation of religious faith and political identity.Highlighting trends that belie the government’s claim that Islamic values have taken holdâ??including rising rates of suicide, drug use, and sex outside of marriageâ??Varzi argues that by concentrating on images and the performance of proper behavior, the government’s campaign to produce model Islamic citizens has affected only the appearance of religious orthodoxy, and that the strictly religious public sphere is partly a mirage masking a profound crisis of faith among many Iranians. Warring Souls is a powerful account of contemporary Iran made more vivid by Varzi’s inclusion of excerpts from the diaries she maintained during her research and from journal entries written by Iranian university students with whom she formed a study group. |

Warring Friends $22.98 Allied nations often stop each other from going to war. Some countries even form alliances with the specific intent of restraining another power and thereby preventing war. Furthermore, restraint often becomes an issue in existing alliances as one ally wants to start a war, launch a military intervention, or pursue some other risky military policy while the other ally balks. In Warring Friends, Jeremy Pressman draws on and critiques realist, normative, and institutionalist understandings of how alliance decisions are made. Alliance restraint often has a role to play both in the genesis of alliances and in their continuation. As this book demonstrates, an external power can apply the brakes to an incipient conflict, and even unheeded advice can aid in clarifying national goals. The power differentials between allies in these partnerships are influenced by leadership unity, deception, policy substitutes, and national security priorities. Recent controversy over the complicated relationship between the U.S. and Israeli governments–especially in regard to military and security concerns–is a reminder that the alliance has never been easy or straightforward. Pressman highlights multiple episodes during which the United States attempted to restrain Israel’s military policies: Israeli nuclear proliferation during the Kennedy Administration; the 1967 Arab-Israeli War; preventing an Israeli preemptive attack in 1973; a small Israeli operation in Lebanon in 1977; the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982; and Israeli action during the Gulf War of 1991. As Pressman shows, U.S. initiatives were successful only in 1973, 1977, and 1991, and tensions have flared up again recently as a result of Israeli arms sales to China. Pressman also illuminates aspects of the Anglo-American special relationship as revealed in several cases: British nonintervention in Iran in 1951; U.S. nonintervention in Indochina in 1954; U.S. commitments to Taiwan that Britain opposed, 1954-1955; and British intervention and then withdrawal during the Suez War of 1956. These historical examples go far to explain the context within which the Blair administration failed to prevent the U.S. government from pursuing war in Iraq at a time of unprecedented American power. |

United States Government Debt is Increasing Rapidly
United States government debt, also referred to as the national debt or United States total public debt, is the amount of money owed by United States federal government to holders of U.S. debt instruments.
The total Public debt includes state and federal debts which is owed to corporations, individuals and foreign governments. But, this debt excludes all social security debts and intra-governmental obligations.
Some of the federal securities held by the public include Bonds, Treasury Bills, United States Savings Bonds, Notes, TIPS and State and Local Government Series securities.
External debt includes debts which both the public and private sectors owe to foreign people and organizations. Foreign ownership of public debt is a substantial part of the total national debt.
When U.S. federal debt passed the $10 trillion mark on 30th September 2008, public debt stood at $5.3 trillion.
Further debts included Social Security obligations, Medicare, Medicaid and others.
A division of United States Department of the Treasury, the Bureau of the Public Debt, calculates the amount of money owed by the government daily.
Budgeted and non-budgeted spending has pushed total debts upward by around $500 billion each year since 2003. The budget deficit fell from $318 billion in 2005 to $162 billion in 2007, but moved sharply up again to $455 billion in 2008.
There have been regular warnings from the U.S. Treasury Department, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that debt levels are sure to increase dramatically due to social programs like Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid and interest owed on outstanding debts.
There are estimates that benefits under entitlement programs could exceed government income by more than $40 trillion in the next half century.
If the changes which they propose are not done, some experts claim that federal expenditures could surpass federal tax revenues by sizable margins in a shorter period than that.
The Beginning of Federal Debts
Public debts have been a part of its existence since the United States of America came into being.
The first reported value of public debt was $75,463,476.52 on January 1, 1791. This was a combination of debts that were incurred during the American Revolutionary War and the creation and implementation of the Articles of Confederation.
Debt continued to increase over the next half-century.
It was brought down to zero for a short period in early January, 1835.
After that, the debts just kept increasing.
The Civil War in America was responsible for a huge surge where debts rose from $65 million in 1860 to more than $1 billion in 1863.
The following year, it stood at $2.7 billion.
There were a few fluctuations during the rest of the century. But, strong economic growth was recorded through most of the period from 1800 to 1912.
Then, debts started increasing again. It was around $22 billion during the 1920s, the World War I period.
History repeated itself and debts grew to an alarming $260 billion by the end of World War II from a figure around $51 billion in 1940.
Public debt and inflation soared in tandem during the nineteen-eighties. The nineties saw the debts increase by about two hundred percent within a decade.
Better results were achieved towards the close of the century.
But, debts then started climbing quickly again.
Public debt stood at about $7.9 trillion at the end of 2005. This was about 8.7 times the level of public debt in 1980.
For the greater part of the last half-century, America had enforced a debt ceiling. The Treasury could issue as much debt as the government required as long as it was within the specified ceiling.
Over time, the United States Congress passed new laws which caused fairly regular increases in the level of the ceiling.
Congress increased the debt limit to $9.815 trillion in September 2007.
In July 2008, the ceiling was again raised to $10.6 trillion with the passing of new laws to accommodate the bailout of mortgage giants, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Congress used to approve legislation for each debt issuance. It was decided that this was no longer possible because of the growth of fiscal operations in the twentieth century.
As debt is spiraling out of control you can take action and survive, and create your own personal financial security.
Categorization of Public Debts
Public debts are of two main types:
1. Marketable and Non-marketable securities held by the public
2. Securities held by government accounts
Ownership
Public debt holders cover a huge group of people that owning bills, notes and bonds.
The U.S. Treasury regularly publishes data providing information about the holders.
The foreign and international holders of the debt are also put together from the notes, bills, and bonds sections.
More than half of the total national debt is owed to the Federal Reserve and intergovernmental holdings.
According to reported figures of the US government in September 2008, it has supported its obligations to bailout home mortgage companies of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
The balance sheet obligations of these two companies are over $5 trillion. The Government does not account for these obligations in its current balance sheet.
The U.S. Treasury contracted to receive US$ 1 billion dollars in senior preferred shares and a warrant for 79.9% of common shares from each of these Government Sponsored Enterprises or GSEs.
This was done to maintain adequate capital ratios in the enterprises and ensure essential solvency. This is, effectively, nationalization of the companies.
Some people claim that some of these US governmental actions place taxpayers’ funds at some risk. The effects of the takeovers may not be predictable immediately. The overall picture will probably only come into focus later.
At the time of the takeover, more than 98% of Fannie’s loans were being repaid in a timely manner.
Both these companies are claimed to have had a positive net worth where their assets were valued much higher than their liabilities.
The Congressional Budget Office has directed incorporation of the assets and liabilities of these two companies into the federal budget. This shows the extent of governmental control over these entities.
Foreign Ownership
Presently, foreign governments are said to have about 25% holding of total US debt.
This figure was about 13% in 1988.
US Treasury statistics indicate foreigner organizations and individuals held 44% of federal debt held by the public in 2006. Two-thirds of this was held by central banks of countries like China and Japan.
Although there was a fall in such investments in 2007 due to the depreciating value of the US dollar at the time, but foreign investors continued investing in US-dollar–denominated instruments.
This exposure is claimed by some to pose a threat of some scale to the US economy.
If the foreign investors start selling Treasury securities or stop purchasing them, some people claim that it might cause significant losses.
It seems that such losses may be a very unlikely situation but the possible effects from such a theoretical situation becoming reality must be considered when decisions are being made.
Central banks of Sweden, Russia, Italy and the United Arab Emirates reduced their dollar holdings marginally in 2006.
Kuwait and Syria discontinued pegging their currency exclusively to the dollar in 2007.
These occurrences may not be pointers to what could happen in the future.
As you can see from this information the recession ahead could be long lasting and it is everyone’s responsibility to take action to survive the current crisis. You can find out how to protect yourself and your family, and come out of the current crisis in a stronger situation with this new ebook Surviving the Debt Crisis.
About the Author
Craig Maugham is a pen name. Craig has a background in research and reporting but felt that the subject and content of this book was too controversial to be released under his own name.
The author has done his best to provide a balanced account of how the crisis developed and gather the best information and theories, from a wide range of sources, about how to survive the current situation and be better placed to thrive in the future.
He believes that much of what is written about the situation is colored by personal or institutional bias.
Craig says, “The size and urgency of the current situation makes people suspicious and likely to react strongly against anyone that expresses a view which they do not agree with. This could affect the public perception of myself and the various organizations which employ me from time to time.”
