Fisk - Hezbolah/IRA

| 31. julij 2006 | Svet | Jure

When the IRA used to cross the Irish border to kill British soldiers - which it did - did Blair and his cronies blame the Irish Republic’s government in Dublin? Did Blair order the RAF to bomb Dublin power stations and factories? Did he send British troops crashing over the border in tanks to fire at will into the hill villages of Louth, Monaghan, Cavan and Donegal? Did Blair then demand an international, Nato-led force to take over a buffer zone - on the Irish, not the Northern Ireland side, of the border?

Of course not. But Israel has special privileges afforded to no other civilised nation. It can do exactly what Blair would never have done - and still receive the British Government’s approbation. It can trash the Geneva Conventions - because the Americans have done that in Iraq - and it can commit war crimes and murder UN soldiers like the four unarmed observers who refused to leave their post under fire.

Amadou and Mariam

| 31. julij 2006 | (Pop)kultura | Jure

Amadou and Mariam, zahodnoafriška glasbena senzacija, plošček Dimanche à Bamako, producent Manu Chao.

Once a decade, it seems, a record emerges from the dense and vibrant undergrowth of the world music scene to achieve mass popular success in the mainstream. Back in the 1980s it was the Gypsy Kings. In the 1990s it was Buena Vista Social Club. And now it’s the turn of the West African duo, Amadou and Mariam.

We live in an excitable world in which words like ’sensation’ and ‘phenomenal’ have been devalued by overuse. Yet it’s hard to avoid such vocabulary when talking about the success of Amadou and Mariam’s album, ‘Dimanche à Bamako’ (Because Music). Released in France in November 2004, by last summer the record had risen to number two in the French charts, leaving the likes of James Blunt, Coldplay, Green Day and Mariah Carey all trailing in its wake - the highest chart-placing ever achieved by an African record anywhere in Europe.
