    It didn’t take long after the invasion of Iraq began in March 2003 for one of the radioactive words of the Vietnam era to make its first appearance, even if in stunted, referential form. Media pundits, former military men, and others began fretting, even as American soldiers advanced, about the "Q word." They were, of course, worrying about (…)

    HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS Before the U.S. House of Representatives - April 5, 2006
    Iran’s history is being ignored, just as we ignored Iraq’s history. This ignorance or deliberate misrepresentation of our recent relationship to Iraq and Iran is required to generate the fervor needed to attack once again a country that poses no threat to us.

    It’s been three years since the U.S. launched its war against Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. Of (…)

    , MARCH 2006 (IPS) - In this analysis, Shiva writes that these seeds kill biodiversity, farmers, and people’s freedom — for example, Monsanto’s Bt cotton, which has already pushed thousands of Indian farmers into debt, despair, and death. Bt cotton is based on what has been dubbed ’’Terminator Technology’’, which makes genetically engineered plants produce sterile seeds.
    High costs of cultivation and low returns from genetically modified seeds have trapped Indian peasants in considerable (…)

Our task now is to transform that consciousness into empowerment. The administration’s most useful tool - fear - remains a factor in U.S. politics, but it is now much more concentrated in congress, less so in the (…)

    Behind the collapse of Ukraine’s “Orange Revolution” By Niall Green 6 April 2006
    Ukraine’s March 25 parliamentary elections and the subsequent back-room deals between the main political actors have exposed the fraudulent nature of the so-called “Orange Revolution” of November and December 2004.
    The Our Ukraine party of President Viktor Yushchenko, proclaimed the “hero” of the Orange Revolution by the Western media, suffered an electoral debacle, ending in third place with 15 percent of (…)
