The article focuses on various political and social ongoings in the world. A leading newspaper said that during the first mayoral campaign of socialist congressman Bernie Sanders over a decade ago, he should be stopped by any means. The hope that Sanders might be a spokesman for the national left vanished after he supported the U.S. mission to Somalia, U.S. President Bill Clinton's bombardment of Baghdad, Clinton's budget and then the crime bill. A report commissioned in June by Imperial Tobacco in Canada says tobacco-related deaths are an economic advantage because smokers die before they become a burden to the health care system.
