But it did have popularity in some quarters obviously. I think it was because of the structural contradictions of a post Colonial Society like egypt which, you know, from the 70s from the late 70s the Egyptian Government was seen by a lot of egyptians as more or less collaborating with israel in keeping the palestinians down and then the religious authorities, they didnt really do anything about that.

Its kind of like in any society when something is going on that the young people feel is just wrong, then you get protests and sometimes even violence. You know, vietnam war period in the United States, a lot of young people decided that that war was wrong and then, you know, you got that and so forth. I think
Science professor arthur vanden houten and Flagler College history Professor John young taught a class on the the rwandan genocide and the response by the u. S. And the United Nations. The professors placed particular emphasis on the slow reaction to the crisis from the International Community and how that then shaped 21st century Foreign Policy for many countries. This is about two hours. So, i mean as a kind of overview just to refresh everyones memory here, we started with an overview of the history of it. Rwanda. Talked about how the genocide was an outgrowth of 19th and 20th century rwandan history. There were tensions between ious as his cities ethnicities, various groups. This was exacerbated by colonialism the germans and the , belgians defining people by ethnicity. And this tension was precipitated by the withdrawal of the colonial powers in the 1950s and 1960s, such that there was tension for the next 20 and 30 years erupting into violence. Becoming pretty severe starting in
There is an odd connection to paul ayber because he was one of the judges at nuremburg the law school in lsu is named for him. We will talk about the various aspects of war crimes so it is very interesting connections. Our next speaker is Carole Emberton who is an associate professor of history at the university of buffalo. Carole works on the civil war era as does everyone else here. Her first book was beyond redemption race, violence and the american south. She is currently working on a book that will be titled a folk history of freedom, dealing with the federal projects, writers projects and the interviews of former slaves during the depression era.

Chain is only as good as its weakest link. If we cant get the harvest to market then we really cant realize the Great Potential our of agricultural industry. The port of vancouver, the port and labor dispute that we had going on there that now we see going on in long beach and l. A. It is having a great impact in creating dwindling confidence on our global markets, the ability of us to deliver.

As has been said, when we lose as senator fisher mentioned, when we lose the ability to deliver customers will look elsewhere to find the same products. I just got a rather haunting email from a Manufacturing Company in montana. They have leading market share. They are the only producer of some of these products that had produce in the United States.
