    Meeting at the Church of the Good Shepherd, NYC - March 15, 2006 1. The recent ‘reporting’ of Iran to the UN Security Council follows three years of political and economic pressure by the US on the EU-3, other Board members of the IAEA, and China and Russia in particular.
    2. The resolution has no legal basis: it preempted the March 6th final report of the IAEA investigation and thus tried to influence and frame the final decision improperly.
    3. It has no technical basis: it has (…)

    The End of Civilization
    Introduction
    I had a mild epiphany the other day: it’s not President Bush who’s living in a fantasy world, it’s most of his critics who are. I’m no apologist for Bush - I neither like nor dislike him. He’s no more significant to me than a fly buzzing around outside my window. So permit me to explain my reasoning.
    People look at Bush’s invasion of Iraq and see a miserable failure. But a failure to do what? Democratize Iraq? Eliminate Iraq’s WMD arsenal? Reduce (…)

    It was the wrong sort of courage and she was defending the freedom of the wrong people
    03/11/06 "The Independent" — — You’ve got to fight. It’s the only conclusion I can draw as I see the renewed erosion of our freedom to discuss the Middle East. The most recent example - and the most shameful - is the cowardly decision of the New York Theatre Workshop to cancel the Royal Court’s splendid production of My Name Is Rachel Corrie.
    It’s the story - in her own words and emails - of the brave (…)
