By Tom PerryCAIRO| Sat Nov 24, 2012

5:21pm EST(Reuters) - Egyptian PresidentMohamed Mursi faced a rebellionfrom judges who accused him onSaturday of expanding his powersat their expense, deepening acrisis that has triggered violence

in the street and exposed thecountry's deep divisions.The Judges ' Club, a body

representing judges across Egypt,cal led for a s tr ike during ameeting interrupted with chantsdemanding the "downfall of theregime" - the rallying cry in theuprising that toppled HosniMubarak last year.Mursi's political opponents and

supporters, representing the dividebe tween newly empoweredIslamists and their critics, calledfor r ival demonstrat ions onTuesday over a decree that hastriggered concern in the West.Issued late on Thursday, it marks

an effort by Mursi to consolidatehis influence after he successfullysidelined Mubarak-era generals inAugust. The decree defends from

judicial review decis ions taken byMursi until a new parliament iselected in a vote expected earlynext year.

It also shields the Islamist-

dominated assembly wri t ingEgypt's new constitution from araft of legal challenges that havet h r e a t e n e d t h e b o d y w i t hdissolution, and offers the samepro tec t ion to the I s l amis t -con t ro l l ed upper house o f pa r l i ament .Egypt's highest judicial authority,

the Supreme Judicial Council,s a i d t h e d e c r e e w a s a n"unprecedented attack" on the

independence of the judiciary.The Judges' Club, meeting inCairo, called on Mursi to rescindit.

That demand was echoed byprominent opposition leaderMohamed ElBaradei. "There is noroom for dialogue when a dictatorimposes the most oppressive,abhorrent measures and then says'let us split the difference'," hesaid."I am waiting to see, I hope soon,a very strong statement of condemnation by the U.S., byEurope and by everybody whoreally cares about human dignity,"he said in an interview withReuters and the Associated Press.

More than 300 people wereinjured on Friday as protestsagainst the decree turned violent.There were attacks on at leastthree offices belonging to theM u s l i m B r o t h e r h o o d , t h e

movement that propelled Mursi topower.

POLARISATIONLiberal, leftist and socialist

parties called a big protest forTuesday to force Mursi to rowback on a move they say hasexposed the autocratic impulses of a man once jailed by Mubarak.In a sign of the polarization in the

country, the Muslim Brotherhoodcalled its own protests that day tosupport the president's decree.Mursi also assigned himself new

authority to sack the prosecutorgeneral , who was appointedduring the Mubarak era, andappoint a new one. The dismissedprosecutor general, Abdel MaguidMahmoud, was given a hero'swelcome at the Judges' Club.

In open defiance of Mursi,Ahmed al-Zind, head of the club,introduced Mahmoud by his oldtitle.The Mursi administration has

defended the decree on thegrounds that it aims to speed up ap r o t r a c t e d t r a n s i t i o n f r o mMubarak's rule to a new system of democratic government.

Analysts say it reflects theBrotherhood's suspicion towardssections of a judiciary unreformedfrom Mubarak's days."I t aims to s idel ine Mursi 'senemies in the judiciary andultimately to impose and head off any legal chal lenges to the

constitution," said Elijah Zarwan,a fellow with The European

Council on Foreign Relations."We are in a situation now whereboth sides are escalating and itsgetting harder and harder to seehow either side can gracefullyclimb down."ADVISOR TO MURSI QUITSFollowing a day of violence in

Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said andSuez, the smell of tear gas hungover the capital's Tahrir Square,the epicentre of the uprising that

toppled Mubarak in 2011 and thestage for more protests on Friday.Youths clashed sporadically with

police near the square, whereactivists camped out for a secondday on Saturday, setting upmakeshift barricades to keep outtraffic.

Al-Masry Al-Youm, one of Egypt's most widely read dailies,hailed Friday's protest as "TheNovember 23 Intifada", invokingthe Arabic word for uprising.But the ultra-orthodox Salafi

Islamist groups that have beenpushing for tighter application of I s l a m i c l a w i n t h e n e wconstitution have rallied behindMursi's decree.The Nour Party, one such group,

stated its support for the Mursidecree. Al-Gama'a al-Islamiya,which carried arms against thestate in the 1990s, said it wouldsave the revolution from what it

described as remnants of theMubarak regime.

Samir Morkos, a Christ ianassistant to Mursi, had told thepresident he wanted to resign, saidYasser Ali, Mursi's spokesman.Speaking to the London-basedAsharq Al-Awsat newspaper,Morkos said: "I refuse to continuein the shadow of republicandec i s ions tha t obs t ruc t thedemocra t i c t r ans i t ion" .Mursi's decree has been criticized

by Western states that earlier this

week were full of praise for hisrole in mediating an end to theeight-day war between Israel andPalestinians."The decisions and declarationsannounced on November 22 raiseconcerns for many Egyptians andfor the international community,"State Department spokeswomanVictoria Nuland said.The European Union urged Mursi

to respect the democratic process.(Additional reporting by OmarFahmy, Marwa Awad, EdmundBlair and Shaimaa Fayed andReuters TV; Editing by JonHemming)This entry passed through the

By Margaret ChadbournWASHINGTON| Sat Nov 24,

2012 3:44pm EST(Reuters) - President Barack Obama, in a bid to show supportfor small businesses, took hisdaughters on an early Christmasshopping trip on Saturday as theU.S. retail sector swings into highgear this holiday season.

Promoting "Small BusinessSaturday," the third annual eventthat encourages consumers tosupport independently-ownedlocal shops, Obama took hisdaughters Sasha and Malia to"One More Page Books" inArlington, Virginia, a suburb of

Washington, D.C."Preparation," said Obama, whiletalking to the store owner at thefront counter and looking at hisBlackBerry, apparently checkingbook titles while his daughtersstood at his side. "That's how Ishop."Over the last two decades, small

businesses have created two of every three U.S. jobs. To try tospur job growth, the Obamaadministration says it aims to cuttaxes for small businesses and

expand entrepreneurs' access tofinancing.Both Main Street merchants and

larger retailers will find out soonif the so-called fiscal cliff thatthreatens to produce tax increasesand automatic spending cuts inJanuary will subdue shoppers and

hold back spending this holidayseason.Congress and Obama are about to

negotiate on a deal to avert theroughly $600 billion in taxincreases and spending cuts set tostart jolting the economy at thebeginning of 2013.

Asked by reporters what isneeded to cushion the economicimpact of the looming fiscal cliff,Obama declined to answer, saying" w e ' r e d o i n g C h r i s t m a s

s h o p p i n g . "The White House said Obamabought 15 children's books thatwill be given as Christmas gifts tofamily members.Last year, more than 100 million

Americans shopped locally onS m a l l B u s i n e s s S a t u r d a y,according to an estimate byAmerican Express.Small businesses taking part in

the initiative use social networkslike Facebook and Twitter topromote deals and attract potential

customers.Taking to Twitter himself after

the shopping excursion, Obamawrote: "My family & I started ourholiday shopping at a localbookstore on #SmallBizSat. Ihope you'll join & shop small thisholiday season."

The nationwide initiative thaturges customers to open theirwallets to local businesses followsBlack Friday, one the nation'sbusiest shopping days at majorretailers falling the day afterThanksgiving.The Monday after Thanksgiving

is known as Cyber Monday,where deals are found on theInternet and is more often a hitwith shoppers unwilling to bravelong lines.

Hamas, Washington is givingMorsi a fairly easy time. In thefirs t Obama Administrat ioncomment on the apparent powerg r a b i n C a i r o , t h e S t a t e

Department meekly said that itraises "concerns" because "therevolution" was supposed to meanthat no one man will ever againwield too much authority inEgypt.But, beyond that, the U.S. only

urged that everyone keep calm --and perhaps move toward writinga constitution that would protectthe civil rights of Egyptians.President Obama may decide to

be more ambitious in the MiddleEast, but at the least he willprobably wait until after theIsraeli election on January 22before launching any majorinitiative. He had a special envoyfor peace in the Middle East for afew years, former Sen. GeorgeMitchell, but Mitchell quit afterfinding that he could not makemuch headway in keeping Israelisand Palestinians at the negotiatingtable.

that Prime Minister Recep TayyipErdogan has been saying hostilethings about Israel. But for manyyears, often kept hush-hush,Turkey and Israel had strongm i l i t a r y a n d i n t e l l i g e n c e

cooperation. They have manyshared concerns -- including what

will emerge from the instabilityand deaths in Syria, the Arabcountry that is sandwichedbetween them.Western diplomats note that,

Hillary Clinton publicly praise theman currently leading Egypt anIslamist who has not found favourin high places previously comesas a considerable surprise. Butpraise President Mohamed Morsi

she did for his considerableefforts in brokering a ceasefirebetween the Israelis and Hamas inthe Gaza Strip. Morsi has longbeen a supporter of Hamas, whichi s v i e w e d a s a t e r r o r i s torganisation by both Israel andthe US. It is a mark of just howmuch has changed in the MiddleEast in the last two years that notonly is he the democraticallyelected president of his country,but a respected interlocutor as

wel l . His in te rven t ion waspragmatic; given the lessons of history, the ceasefire is probablytemporary but the very last thingMorsi needed in the here-and-nowwas a major conflict on hisborders, more so because all is not

well in his own house.While democratic and relatively

free of rigging and corruption, theEgyptian elections that saw himcome to power opened up severalcans of worms. Not the least of these is that Morsi won by a slimmargin, and almost half of thosewho voted did not vote for him.These people fear that he will taket h e c o u n t r y t o t h e r i g h ttheologically; that minorities like

the Coptic Christians will bev u l n e r a b l e a n d o p e n t opersecution; and that civil rightswill be eroded. Economically,Egypt is a basket case and isgoing to need a helping hand fromthe IMF. The role that Morsiplayed in the ceasefire will havebeen noted positively both in theWhite House and the IMF butthat is not the note being read inTa h r i r S q u a r e . O n F r i d a yafternoon, surrounded by securitymen, President Morsi spoke to thecrowds. They were protestingagainst the sweeping powers hehad awarded himself, which hes a y s p r o t e c t t h e E g y p t i a nrevolution rather than undermineit Morsi has placed himself

above judicial oversight until then e w, a n d m u c h d e l a y e d ,constitution is prepared. Thecrowds were sceptical. Protestersattacked the offices of MuslimBrotherhood in Alexandria andother towns on the Mediterraneancoast. With the sounds of warfarein Gaza stilled for now, Morsi hastime to devote to mending fencesat home. Rebuilding Egypt, acountry where entire civilisations

lasting more than a thousandyears have come and gone, wasnever going to be an easy task.President Morsi is making theright moves to satisfy those whosebusiness is geopolitics, but he hasye t to pu l l the same t r i ck domes t i ca l ly.Please enable JavaScript to view

Joe W eisenthal ( Business Insider )Submi t t ed a t 11 / 24 /20 1 2 5 : 3 4 :00 P M

The pr imary F isca l Cl i ff challenge is this: Democrats insiston raising taxes on the rich.Republicans, who are terrified of Grover Norquist and primarychallenges (and who generallyhate tax hikes) refuse to do votefor tax hikes.So the question is: How can you

raise taxes and not actually votefor a tax hike? One possibility isto jus t wai t , and le t t axesautomatically rise for everyone,but then this would represent fullyhitting the Fiscal Cliff, and themiddle class gets dinged. Jonathan Weisman at The NewYork Times reports on one planthat's being considered: It would

prevent the rich (defined, perhaps,as people making over $250,000)from taking advantage of thelower marginal tax rates on thelower parts of their income.Weisman explains:Under the existing tax code, the

first $17,400 of adjusted grossincome for a couple filing jointlyis taxed at 10 percent. Above thatlevel, up to $70,700, income is

taxed at 15 percent. Incomebetween $70,701 and $142,700 istaxed at 25 percent. Grossincomes up to $217,450 are taxedat 28 percent. The next bracket,33 percent, ends at $388,350 forcouples. The top bracket hitsadjusted gross incomes onlyabove $388,350.All taxpayers get the advantage

of the lower tax rates below thetop threshold, whether they earn$40,000 or $40 million.If Republicans insist that the top

35 percent rate cannot changewhile Congress tries to rewrite thetax code, negotiators could decideto technically keep all the Bush-era tax ra tes in p lace , bu teliminate the lower tax rates forrich households.On Twitter , Bloomberg View's

Josh Barro (an expert on taxation)and Nate Silver explained onehuge problem with this idea. If theelimination of the lower tax rateskicked in at, say, $250K, thensomeone who makes $250K

would have lower take home paythan someone who makes $249K(and gets to keep all the lowermarginal rates). It would alsomean a h igher tax on the250,000th dollar of earnings, thanthe 1 millionth. The beauty of thecurrent tax system is that nobodyever gets less take home pay bymaking more money.

So if the tax code switches to justwhat's described above, then it's ahorrible idea.A solution to this is a "phase-in"

schedule, so that someone making$250,000 doesn't automaticallylose all of the lower rates... justsome of them. But even still youhave a problem, as Josh explains ,where a taxpayer ' s h ighes tmarginal rate, in that certain phase-in band, jumps above the officialmarginal rate.

In short, anyone who makes justover the cap considered "rich"could get uniquely screwed.So it sounds like a very janky

way to get around just raisingrates on some incomes. Read the whole report here >Please follow Politics on Twitter

Daniel Greenfield (FrontPage Magazine FrontPage )Submi t t ed a t 11 / 24 /20 1 2 4 : 0 6 :10 P M

For the last hundred years thebest and brightest of the civilizedworld have been engaged in thebusiness of peace. In the daysbefore the Nobel Peace Prizebecame a joke, it was expectedthat scientific progress would leadto moral progress. Nations wouldaccept international laws andeveryone would get together toreplace wars with internationalconferences.

Instead technological progress just gave us bett er ways to killeach other. There have been fewi n n o v a t i o n s i n t h e m o r a ltechnology of global harmonysince Immanuel Kants PerpetualPeace laid out a plan to grantworld citizenship to all refugeesand outlaw all armies, invasionsand atrocities with the wholeshebang would be overseen by aLeague of Nations.That was in 1795 and Kants plan

was at least more reasonable thananything we have two-hundredyears later today because it atleast set out to limit membershipin this body to free republics. If we had done that with the UnitedNations, it could conceivablyh a v e b e c o m e s o m e t h i n gr e s e m b l i n g a h u m a n eorganization. Instead its a placewhere the dictators of the worldstop by to give speeches about

human rights for a show thatsfunnier than anything you could

find eight blocks away at theBroadway Comedy Club.

Since the League of Nationsfolded, the warring peoples of theworld have added the atom bomb,the suicide bomber, the jet plane,the remotely guided missile, therape squad, the IED, the childsoldier and the stealth fighter tot h e i r a r s e n a l s . A n d t h ehumanitarians have murdered afew billion trees printing out moreuseless treaties, conventions andcondemnations; more dead trees

than accounted for by every pieceof human literature written untilthe 19th Century.There is no moral technology to

prevent war. Or rather war is themoral technology, that whenproperly applied, ensures peace.

The humanitarians had gonedown a dead end by trying toc r e a t e p e r p e t u a l p e a c e b youtlawing war, but the peace-shouters who wear their invertedMercedes Logo dont really wantpeace, some of them reflexively

hate war for sentimental reasons,but their leaders and mostcommitted activists dont hatewar, they hate the people who winthe wars.The plan for perpetual peace is

really a plan for perpetual war. Itnecessitates that the civilizednations who heed its call amassoverwhelming quanti t ies of firepower as deterrents againstwar, which they will pledge tonever use because if the threat of destroying the world isnt enough,

their bluff will be called and theywill fold. And if they dont fold,then the world will be destroyed

because the humanitarians saidthat peace was better than war.It also necessitates that the actual

wars that they fight be as limitedas possible by applying precisiontechnology to kill only actualarmed enemy combatants whileminimizing collateral damage.And that humanitarian objectivealso necessitates that the others ide rep ly wi th a coun te r-objective of making it as hard aspossible to kill them without also

killing civilians.The humanitarian impulse makes

the anti-humanitarian impulseinevitable. The more precisely wetry to kill terrorists, the moreingeniously the terrorists blendinto the civilian population andemploy human shields. The morewe try not to kill civilians, themore civilians we are forced tokill. That is the equal and oppositereaction of the humanitarianformula.In Afghanistan, the Rules of

Engagement were overhauled tom i n i m i z e A f g h a n c i v i l i a ncasualties. This was so successfulthat not only did the casualty ratef o r A m e r i c a n s o l d i e r sdramatically increase becausethey were not allowed to fireunless they were being fired at,but the number of Afghan civiliancasualties killed by Americanforces also fell dramatically.

was a great triumph. But sadly thenumber of Afghan civilians killedb y t h e Ta l i b a n i n c r e a s e ddramatically and more than madeup for the shortfall.

When the Taliban have won thewar, the number of civiliancasualties will be tremendousonce Obama pulls the troops outand the cheerful bearded boysmarch into Kabul and start killingevery woman who can read. But itwas still a better thing than theunacceptable levels of civiliancasualties under Bush. It was abetter thing that the Taliban havefree reign to kill as many Afghansas they want than that Americansoldiers should have been able tofight the Taliban without thehumanitarian handcuffs.Because sometimes you have to

destroy the village to save thevillage, and that is true whetherits American planes bombing aterrorist hideout or humanitariansletting the Taliban take the villageand kill every tenth woman in it.And yet for all this monumental

effort, for all the soldiers deadbecause they werent sure if theman planting an IED in the roadwas a terrorist or just a decentu p s t a n d i n g p o p p y f a r m e rchecking the soil composition, forall the Afghan civilians killed bythe moral technology of inaction,your unfriendly neighborhoodpeace-shouter is about as satisfiedas a cannibal at a vegan banquet.Give him, her or it five valuableminutes of your time and it willbegin shrieking about drone

s t r i k e s , k i l l l i s t s a n d t h em u r d e r o u s r a m p a g e o f a

technology that is as far fromShock and Awe as you couldpossibly imagine without goingcompletely Gandhi. If anything ithates drone strikes more than it

hates Hiroshima. Mass killing justifies its smug contempt for themachinery of war, but anythingthat smacks of an attempt tomoralize warfare challenges itsprinciples and urges it on togreater displays of outrage.Israel, in the name of peace,

turned over the lives of millionsof people to the control of aterrorist organization whichtaught their children to believethat their highest purpose in lifewas to die while killing Israelis.The Oslo Accords turned stone-

throwers into shooters and suicidebombers. It allowed the kind of people that most of IsraelsMuslim neighbors had locked upand thrown away the key to,inside the country and gave themcharge of the economy and theyouth. Every peace dove, everyp e a c e s o n g , e v e r y p e a c eagreement, made the rivers of blood that followed not onlyinevitable, but mandatory.

For decades, every time thatIsrael was on the verge of finishing off the terrorists, therecame a call for a ceasefire or apeace agreement. The call washeeded and the violence continuedbecause all the peace agreementsand ceasefires were just prolongedunfinished wars. They were agame of baseball that never endedbecause no home run was ever

scored. Instead the New York Yankees were being forced to

play the Martyrs of Muslimtownfor thirty years with the umpirestepping in every t ime thehometown team was on the vergeof winning the game. Each peace

agreement did not mean peace, itmeant that the MuslimtownMartyrs would have another fewyears to go on killing and beingkilled.Peace meant that the war would

never end. Instead of perpetualpeace, it made for perpetual war.

In 1992 Israel deported 400Hamas terrorists. It didnt killthem, lock them up or bake theminto a pie. All it did was kick them out of a country they didntrecognize and closed the doorbehind them. That deportationbecame the leading human rightscause of the day . The UN issued aunanimous resolution condemningthe deportation. The Red Crossbrought them blankets. Newsweek accused Israel of Deporting theHope for Peace.

And so Israel took the 400Hamas terrorists, the hope forpeace, back. Over the next 20years they shed rivers of bloodand rivers of blood were shedbecause of them. There was neverany peace with them and theymade peace impossible.But the humanitarians had gotten

their way, as they always got theirway, and their way was the blownup bus and the shattered cafeteria,the burning building and thesuicide bomber making his waythrough a crowded mall, thechilds mother lovingly tying on

his martyr costume complete withAlfred Nobels great invention,

the jet plane releasing its cargo of b o m b s a n d t h e t e l e v i s i o nscreaming for war. But all thesewere far better than that 400Hamas terrorists should sniffle

into their Red Cross supplied cupsof dark coffee on the hills of Lebanon.To those who croon to that old

Lennon song, peace is alwaysbe t t e r than war, and goodintentions lead to good results.The only way forward is to keepextending your hand to the enemyand doing it over and over againno matter how much effort thedoctors have to put into stitchingit back together again after the lasthandshake.Peace is still better than war. It is

better that Israel and Hamas fightescalating mini-wars every 3years than that Israel finish off Hamas once and for all. Thatprice wasnt worth paying 20years ago when all it meant wasthat 400 terrorists would havebeen forced to get jobs slingingHalal hash in Lebanese Hashish

joint s. It certai nly isn t worth ittoday.A flock of peace doves wings to

Israel with proposals for engagingHamas. But its Israel that issupposed to figure out a way tolive with its explosive bride. Allthe proposals call for somegradual process by which Hamaswill be courted, engaged andweaned off terror to become anups tand ing member o f theinternational community. Andthats all well and good if you

have soy for brains.Hamas is not interested in being

e n g a g e d . I t s g o a l i s t h edestruction of Israel. This isntp o s t u r i n g , i t s n o t s u l l e nresentment over being blockadedby Israel or outrage over the latest

round of fighting. This is theessential ideology of Hamas,derived from the core Islamicprinciples over the proper role of non-Muslims in the Muslimworld. It is not interested in a two-state solut ion, job creat ionp r o g r a m s o r a n y o f t h emeaningless shiny toys thatdiplomats wave when they arrivein the region. Its goal is to makeIslam supreme over all othersystems by destroying a non-Muslim state in what it considersto be Muslim territory.Perpetual peace was not made for

such conflicts. Peace was madefor reasonable people who arewilling to give and take. It wasnot made for those who only take.Peacemaking is not a policy, it is

a religion that we are all obligatedto believe in. It is an immoralmoral principle that ends in war.Peacemaking in the World War IIcost more lives than Hitler couldhave ever taken on his own.Peacemaking in the War onTerror has cost a hundred timesmore lives than the terroristscould have ever taken on theirown.The business of peace is the

industry of death. Behind thepeace sign is a field of flowerswith a grave for every one.Behind the peace agreement andthe ceasefire is another war that
