  • Using War as an Excuse for More War: Srebrenica Revisited by Diana Johnstone Counterpunch
    19 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    October 18, 2005
    Last summer, almost the entire political spectrum in the Western world joined in a chorus of self-flagellation on the 10th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre. The dominant theme was "nostra culpa": "we" let it happen, "we" didn’t want to know about it, and "we" mustn’t let it happen again.
    Dear reader, who are "we" in this case? How in the world could "we" (you and I) have known or done anything about this at the time? And in fact, how much do "we" really know about (…)

    US Iraq campaign ’to last days’ The US military says a major operation targeting suspected insurgents and foreign fighters in northern Iraq could continue for several days.
    They describe it as the biggest airborne operation in the country since the US invasion in 2003, involving more than 50 aircraft and 1,500 troops.
    But correspondents are sceptical, saying the operation, near Samarra, is not as huge as has been suggested.
    No air power has been used and it is unclear if there have (…)

    On the Third anniversary of the illegal invasion of Iraq, the Antiwar movement is calling upon the Bush Administration to "Bring the Troops Home Now".
    "Bring the Troops Home Now" is a strong yet ambiguous statement because it accepts the legitimacy of the Commander in Chief who is entrusted in making that decision.
    The war is illegal and criminal. Irrespective of the Commander in Chief’s decision, US and coalition troops have a moral and legal obligation to "Abandon the Battlefield" and (…)

    03/18/06 "The Independent" — — It is a bright winter morning and I am sipping my first coffee of the day in Los Angeles. My eye moves like a radar beam over the front page of the Los Angeles Times for the word that dominates the minds of all Middle East correspondents: Iraq. In post-invasion, post-Judith Miller mode, the American press is supposed to be challenging the lies of this war. So the story beneath the headline "In a Battle of Wits, Iraq’s Insurgency Mastermind Stays a Step Ahead (…)

    President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rice, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary General Annan, Senators and Representatives,
    It is with grave concern that I observe the growing threat of a new U.S. war—this time against the people of Iran.
    The media is filled with reports of an alleged nuclear threat posed by Iran and the assumed need for the U.S. to take military action. These reports recall the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" stories issued in the months leading up to the war on (…)
