    London Review of Books: The Israel Lobby
    For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in 1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread ‘democracy’ throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardised not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history. (…)

    From
    People are fragile, countries are fragile and the peace of the world is fragile. And so are financial systems based on paper. Prosperity itself is fragile. All you need is a trigger mechanism, like a widening war, and the world itself can fall to pieces. Or maybe it’s falling into pieces now and further disintegration is inevitable. Like a contagion, anger and hatred travel around the world. All totalitarian regimes are based on anger and hatred, and hatred begets violence. The (…)

  • Taking the sting out of the Samarra swarm By Syed Saleem Shahzad (asia times)

    KARACHI - The city of Samarra, target of the biggest US air strike since the invasion of Iraq three years ago, has been the nucleus of the national resistance since the fall of Baghdad.
    The Sunni-dominated city 125 kilometers north of Baghdad, despite several attempts, has never been subjugated, because of the strong tribal structure and fierce nationalism of its residents.
    Operation Swarmer, which began on Thursday with more than 650 American and 800 Iraqi soldiers, 200 tactical (…)

  • The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is Dying by PR RICHARD FALK and DAVID KRIEGER
    17 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    What Now? March 17, 2006 For several decades now the world has been living with the illusion that the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) established a functioning treaty regime that has spared the world from nuclear danger. It is an illusion partly because three nuclear weapons aspirants (Israel, India, Pakistan) have kept clear of the treaty, and suffered no adverse consequences when they developed nuclear arsenals. On the contrary, President Bush’s proposed nuclear deal with India must be (…)

  • Saddam Hussein turns the tables at US-run show trial By Bill Van Auken 17 March 2006

    The farcical trial of Saddam Hussein staged by the Bush administration and its Iraqi puppets was thrown into chaos when the deposed Iraqi president took the witness stand Wednesday.
    He used his intervention not to answer the charges laid against him in the court-whose legitimacy he has rejected from the beginning-but to speak directly to the Iraqi people, urging an end to sectarian bloodshed and a continuation of armed resistance to the US occupation of their country.
    “My conscience (…)

    Preemption and Dishonor
    By Peter Fredson
    March 17, 2006
    As a result of personal experiences during World War II, comparing them with the state of our nation today, I see numerous similarities between the actions of the Bush neocons and the Brown Shirts of Adolph Hitler. Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler et al.
    What do I see? Hold tight, now.
    The SS Troops, the Homeland Security, the fervent and pious preachers with their “Gott Mitt Uns), the claims of racial superiority, the (…)

    The recent deluge of expressions of “concern” about Iran by Cheney, Bolton, Blair, Rumsfeld et al should be setting alarm bells ringing throughout the world.
    These dangerous and sinister players are back on the warpath and humanity is in danger- first and foremost the people of Iran, who have committed the cardinal sin of standing up for their own rights
    But it is no exaggeration to say that the future of every single one of us is at risk. Having gone along with the (…)
