    Dear sirs,
    I am writing to you to draw your attention to the tens of Iraqis that are being killed every day by the air raids performed by USA troops in the Al-Ramadi province west of Baghdad. This series of barbaric raids started in April 2004 in which few hundreds civilians were killed and few thousands were injured. That massacre was followed by another much bigger one in Nov. 2004 in which 10 times the casualties were incurred (…)

  • Weapons Sales Worldwide Rise to Highest Level Since 2000
    31 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By THOM SHANKER
    WASHINGTON The value of military weapons sales worldwide jumped in 2004 to the highest level since 2000, driven by arms deals with developing nations, especially India, Saudi Arabia and China, according to a new Congressional study.
    The total of arms sales and weapons transfer agreements to both industrialized and developing nations was nearly $37 billion in 2004, according to the study.
    That total was the largest since 2000, when global arms sales reached $42.1 (…)

  • What Eating Cindy Sheehan?

    By Jason Leopold
    Cindy Sheehan has been subjected to an unwarranted backlash by right-wing pundits because of her antiwar protests and some explosive statements she made about President Bush. Perhaps Sheehan, while mourning the death of her son, Casey, a U.S. soldier who died in the Iraq war, lashed out at the president, and decided to take her antiwar message to Crawford, Texas, after doing some fact checking on her emotional state. If so, these are likely some of the circumstances that (…)

  • 2008 Presidential Candidate Offers Letter of Support for Cindy Sheehan

    CRAWFORD - Cindy Sheehan has received a letter of support from Karl W. B. Schwarz, a former Republican, who earlier this year announced his independent candidacy for President, subject to the 2008 election.
    Schwarz is author of the book "One Way Ticket to Crawford, Texas."
    He wrote to Sheehan: "I have been watching with admiration your brave stand against President Bush and his refusal, and even fear, of speaking with any of the persons who have lost loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan on (…)

  • The Roller Coaster Ride

    In an amusement park that I used to take our kids to, there was a roller coaster ride called the “Corkscrew.” It turned, and twisted and even reversed itself and went backwards after the first full cycle of track was completed. We would stand in line for an hour just to have a 3 minute ride, only to get back in the hour long line and do it again. We paid for this, and at the end of the day, I wondered why as we left the park with heads spinning and knees trying to (…)

    "Sarah, if the people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." Bush 41 to reporter Sarah McClendon, Dec. 1992
    It’s an amazing thing. Doctors’ offices in New York and Washington will likely be standing-room-only in a couple of months. I can see it now — the look on a nurse’s face when she asks the vacuous, target-eyed media twits when they are "due," and each one chirps happily, "May (…)

  • The Peaceful Occupation of Crawford (Day 23)

    In My Life, I Loved You More
    Since I began my vigil in Crawford, an average of 2.69 per day of our nation’s brave and noble troops died in Iraq for George’s cowardly and ignoble war. 2.69 families per day have been devastated for no reason except that: we have to continue killing American soldiers because so many have been killed already. My heart and soul go out to these families who had a loved one killed so needlessly and avoidably.
    How many more are (…)

    By Bertrand Benoit in Berlin
    Oskar Lafontaine, one of two lead candidates for the Left party at the German election, has called into question the presence of US military bases in the country, saying they undermine Germany’s sovereignty.
    Addressing the congress of the party, an alliance of Social Democratic dissidents and neo-Communists, in Berlin on Saturday, Mr Lafontaine said: "We are not a sovereign country; as long as the US can operate from here, we are a participant in the Iraq (…)

    WASHINGTON
    As President Bush traveled around the country last week, he got caught up in a battle of women.
    Women - mothers and widows of men killed in Iraq - were the most vocal leaders of antiwar protests in Texas, Idaho and Utah that dogged Mr. Bush all week. Another woman, Tammy Pruett, whose husband and five sons have served in Iraq, was showcased by the White House as a pro-war counterpoint.
    The tableau was a striking change from the 1960’s protests against (…)
