    War crimes in IRAQ
    I am writing to you calling for some efforts to stop the war going on in Iraq.
    This war has caused the loss of more than 100,000 Iraqis ( according to a study published by the LANCET medical journal ( www.thelancet.com ) ) and more than 1528 Americans. Large violations of human rights have been committed against civilians in various towns of Iraq,( see for example the report " Beyond Torture ", www.cser.com ) . Those who were the cause for these losses and violations (…)

    Obliterated Fallujah & "The ’horrid case’ against my country is that the people either support mass murder or really don’t care enough to change it"
    From an exchange between two Blog sites, Fountainhead and Another Day in the Empire:
    An email received yesterday:
    "You expect to sell your art work to Americans while you publish the most incredible lies. I just bet you are an American too. Re: your article about Fallujah published in Anwaar Hussain?s hate blog.

    No government minister has been available to explain the apparent change in the legal advice given by Lord Goldsmith in March 2003 regarding war with Iraq. Not only was the resignation letter from Elizabeth Wilmshurst, deputy chief legal adviser to the Foreign Office, censored but the government continues to refuse to release Lord Goldsmith’s full legal advice.
    This situation should not go on. On the ’Today’ programme this morning former defence (…)

    It was just over two years ago that I learned a little-known "antiwar" Democrat from Vermont was planning to run for President. At a rally on the eve of Bush’s Iraq invasion, a fellow protestor handed me a leaflet touting the now infamous Howard Dean, hoping that the propaganda would entice me to support his forthcoming candidacy.
    Of course, I was intrigued. Few other Democrats were speaking out against the imminent war on Iraq. Luckily, I ended up not taking the bait. (…)

    by Doug Thompson "What," a reader wanted to know, "turned you into such a Bush-hater?"
    Nothing.
    I’m not a Bush-hater. I don’t know the man well enough to hate him. Hate is a personal emotion. I don’t get personal.
    I am, however, very angry over what Bush and his minions have done to the country I love.
    I’m angry over his disregard for the more than 1,500 Americans he has sent to their death in his lies-based war.
    I’m angry about the lies he told to try and justify that senseless (…)

    This past weekend was the two year anniversary of the beginning of ’shock and awe’ of the US Government’s aggression in Iraq. If all you did was watch CNN, FOX News, or MSNBC, you would never know.
    There were protests all across our nation. CNN called the over 800 protest events ’barely a ripple’. I spoke at a protest in Fayetteville, North Carolina where there were right around 4000 people. 4000 people full of energy and committed to the task of peace and justice and (…)

    Two amendments against gays. Not one, but two amendments to the Texas constitution are being considered. I’m impressed! You guys must have some legislators really scared!
    HJR 6 would ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples. HJR 19 would not only ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples, but would also prohibit civil unions and domestic partnerships. It has the potential of nullifying legal contracts, such as a will or a power of attorney. These two idiot amendments (…)

    Is That Respecting Our Soldiers?
    by Gail Vida Hamburg The state funeral in Rome last month for Nicola Calipari - the Italian intelligence officer who rescued a kidnapped journalist from Iraqi captors, only to be gunned down by jittery American soldiers at a checkpoint in Baghdad - was a national event that united all Italians, merging their raw sorrow with the singular grief of his widow and children. It was the second time Italy pulled out all the stops for its Iraq War dead. In (…)

    Destroying Iraq Isn’t Enough for Bush An Immoral and Illegal War
    By Rep. CYNTHIA McKINNEY
    Remarks at Chicago Anti-War Rally, March 19, 2005
    Two years ago we gathered all across America to say no to war.
    We were joined by people all over the planet who know that there is an alternative to war.
    But war is about the only option available when the real motive is to steal natural resources that belong to someone else.
    Or to restack the deck in the Middle East with today’s generation (…)

    By Alan Taylor
    ON my way to meet Noam Chomsky in Boston, I pick up a copy of The American Prospect, whose cover features snarling caricatures of US Vice-President Dick Cheney, and of Chomsky: the man dubbed by Bono “the Elvis of academia”. Cheney is presented as the proverbial bull in an international china shop, Chomsky is portrayed by this “magazine of liberal intelligence” as the epitome of high- minded dove-ish, misguided idealism. Chomsky, of course, is well used to such attacks. For (…)
