Portrait of an Oil-Addicted Former Superpower:
How Rising Oil Prices Are Obliterating America's Superpower Status By
Michael T. Klare
Nineteen years ago, the fall of the Berlin Wall effectively eliminated the
Soviet Union as the world's
other superpower. Yes, the USSR as a political entity stumbled on for another
two years, but it was clearly an ex-superpower from the moment it lost control
over its satellites in Eastern Europe.

"Security Flaws Exposed at Nuke Lab"
By Adam Zagorin, TIME Magazine
If you were a terrorist looking for weapons-grade nuclear
material in America, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory might be a
good place to start. At the core of the nuclear-weapons research facility
about an hour's drive from San Francisco stands the "Superblock,"
a collection of buildings surrounded by multi-story steel-mesh fencing, a
no man's land, electronic security gear, armed guards and cables to prevent
a helicopter landing on the roof. These defenses are in place largely to protect
Building 332, a repository for roughly 2,000 pounds of deadly plutonium and
volatile, weapons-grade uranium — enough fissile material to build at
least 300 nuclear weapons. But a recent simulated terror attack tested those
defenses, and sources tell TIME that the results were not reassuring.

"Neocons and the truth: Bitter enemies to
the end" By Glenn Greenwald, Common
Dreams -May 8, 2008
In a July, 2006 article in Rolling Stone -- entitled
"Iran: The Next War" -- the superb journalist James Bamford detailed
the shady activities of numerous neoconservatives inside and out of the
U.S. Government to plan an attack on Iran. Bamford focused on the role played
by Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute and National Review,
who created and began implementing an attack scheme in coordination with
the Pentagon's then number-three official, Doug Feith, and Feith's deputy,
Larry Franklin (subsequently convicted of felonies for passing classified
information to AIPAC)
