Thousands Of Weapons To Be Destroyed By Cambodian Government
By Marc Vanhemelryck, Fri Dec 9th
It is undeniable that Cambodia is changing. When I arrived inCambodia in 1995, one in three Cambodians I met carried aweapon. Arms were for many the only way to ensure security. Yet,in the decennium I live in Cambodia, I have never seen one usedagainst me or anybody, except for one: a policeman shot somegame in the forest but didn't catch it. I've collected weapons. 5 years ago, I travelled to Dey Krohomvillage in Kratie province along roads which the year after werede-mined because the road was part of what once was the Nationalroad from Phnom Penh to Kratie and Stoeung Treng and is wasgoing to be rebuilt into what Cambodians cal a "speedway". I'veseen the mines when a year later, I travelled the same roadagain to inspect my development projects. Each one might have killed me. Do you know that mines tend tofloat under the soil and move where no-one expects any mines.
From 2000 to 2004, I worked for the EU ASAC, an EU weaponsmanagement programme for establishing weapons security to thecountry. My job was to help collect weapons from the civilianpopulation which was only a small part of a much moreencompassing programme. My job also included implementing policesupport regarding to security as a complement to the weaponscollection. The programme was implemented on the request and with the fullsupport of the Cambodian government. Next week, the governmentwill destroy some 8,000 weapons and thus bring the total ofdestroyed weapons since the start of the EU peace plan to morethan 175,000 weapons. These weapons include not only weapons from the civilianpopulation, but also military surpluses. Some argue that it isthe oldest weapons that were destroyed, but all of the weaponsin the destruction were usable. Being usable - if only for spareparts -, they could be sold on the black market and used inother conflicts in the region. By destroying those weapons, the Cambodian people acts as trueBuddhists, choosing for Peace in the Region. "Put down yourweapon, take up the Dharma" edified the Buddhist Teachers. Andthat is what Cambodians are doing. The EU has been the initiator of the multi-facetted peaceprogramme. Two

Japanese organisations are fulfilling thepromises of European initiators: if you make peace developmentwill come. Cambodian people have turned their weapons. JSAC andJCCP, two Japanese organisation now offer development projectsto the villages, communes and districts that have surrenderedall their weapons and are proven weapons-free. Clean water wellsare in some places the highest priorities, elsewhere schools orschool toilets were built. The principle of the weapons collection project was not to payfor the weapons, but to offer community-owned projects instead.Every weapon that was collected from the civilian population hadto be destroyed and was. The military surplus weapons are those that are left over fromthe EU ASAC Weapons Registration and Safe Storage project. Heresafe storage buildings for weapons and computerised registrationsystem have been provided to the Cambodian Army and Gendarmerie. The weapons are destroyed in public ceremonies in the presenceof the population. These ceremonies are called "Flames ofPeace." EU, Cambodian or Japanese experts count the weapons aspart of the process and check that no more ammunition remains inthe weapon that could turn the celebration into a tragedy. The EU assistance programme has also supported the NationalCommittee for weapons management, the draft of a new arms lawand oversees the implementation of that law. Next week, two of those bonfires take place in Cambodia. OnMonday 26 September, 3,430 weapons will be burned ceremoniouslyin Siem Reap province with Japanese support and on Tuesday about4,500 in Sihanoukville with European support. The Japanese destruction ceremony will take place in Angkor Chumdistrict, there where the people have turned them in. Theceremony in Sihanoukville will take place on Ochheuteal Beachand is open to any visitor. If you happen to be inSihanoukville, this is a unique occasion to witness theCambodian contribution to peace building.

Pentagon mad-science division Darpa is helping build thought-controlled robotic limbs, artificial pack mules, real-life laser guns and "kill-proof" soldiers. So it comes as no surprise, really, that the agency is now getting into the flying-car business, too.
Darpa hopes its "Personal Air Vehicle Technology"
project, announced yesterday, will ultimately lead to a working
prototype of a military-suitable flying car -- a two- or four-passenger
vehicle that can "drive on roads" one minute and take off like a
helicopter the next. The hybrid machine would be perfect for "urban
scouting," casualty evacuation and commando-delivery missions, the
agency believes.<br><br>[ <a href="http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/11/darpas-flying-c.html">source</a> ]<br>Constitutional Dead Letters
<div>by <a href="mailto:rogerroots@msn.com">Roger Roots</a> | Historians of Soviet Russia occasionally note that the communist workers’ paradise was originally intended to adhere to a written constitution that expressly guaranteed freedoms such as speech, press and assembly. In practice, however, none of the freedoms guaranteed in the Soviet constitution were recognized in the country’s legal system, and millions of dissenters and suspected dissenters were imprisoned or killed for disagreeing with the commissars of the state.</div><br><div>The United States Constitution, by contrast, is thought to be in <a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/LauraHollis/2008/10/29/a_president_who_wont_uphold_the_constitution_never">good standing</a>. Yet there are numerous provisions of the U.S. Constitution that are never enforced. These provisions, analogous to “dead letters” in the U.S. Postal System, are either totally ignored by federal judges or given such a narrow construction that they might as well not exist. As columnist and curmudgeon Joseph Sobran <a href="http://www.sobran.com/columns/1999-2001/990518.shtml">has written</a>, the Supreme Court has, in essence, exercised a “line-item veto” over the [docs], totally ignoring provisions that interfere with the justices’ national vision or social objectives.<br><a href="http://rinf.com/alt-news/politics/constitutional-dead-letters/4851/">http://rinf.com/alt-news/politics/constitutional-dead-letters/4851/</a></div><br>Read more for some examplesNeed a laugh today?
