With the widening economic crisis grabbing so much of our attention, ending our occupation of Iraq may be taking a back seat in some minds, but it will be a major, pressing issue for the next president. Here's an under-reported development that fits very well with Barack Obama's pledge to start pulling troops out in a systematic way, with a view to ending our military role there, and with Obama's emphasis on a new foreign policy that emphasizes diplomacy rather than military force: The Boston Globe reports today that: Members of a team that worked to produce a framework for political reconciliation in Iraq told a congressional subcommittee yesterday that the United States must involve the international community in further peace negotiations and allow Iraqis to take the central role in the process. Representatives of South Africa's African National Congress, veterans of both sides of the bloody Northern Ireland conflict and others with experience in difficult national reconciliation told a committee chaired by Rep. William Delahunt (D-Mass.) how they are working with Iraqi political Leaders spanning the spectrum from Islamists and former Baathists to Communists, to move forward national reconciliation in Iraq. As with South Africa and Northern Ireland, such a process will be essential to bringing peace to Iraq. It will also be key to enabling Iraq to stand up to interference from the U.S., transnational corporations, etc. A serie ...

Radical reform is needed to make public spending allocations between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland fairer, according to a report out today. The Taxpayers' Alliance wants the Barnett formula, which is used to calculate how public money is allocated to devolved institutions, to be replaced with a fairer, more centralised settlement. At present the Barnett formula is used to distribute public spending between the UK's four countries. Scotland receives 22 per cent more spending more head than England, while Wales (14 per cent) and Northern Ireland (30 per cent) also receive more. While Northern Ireland subsidies can be justified in terms of reconstruction there is no similar agreement with Scotland and English taxpayers are justified in feeling they are subsidising spending north of the border, the report says. Its author, former Treasury economist Mike Denham, said: "Everyone is struggling to make ends meet, and it is long overdue for the government to lift this burden from taxpayers' shoulders. "English taxpayers want an end to subsidising Scotland, and the Scottish government wants financial control devolved to Holyrood, so now is the ideal time to consign the Barnett formula to history." Last week prime minister Gordon Brown announced in his speech to Scottish business Leaders plans to review the Scottish parliament's financial accountability. Scotland's government is currently calling for more powers to raise its ...
