Both Insurgents And US Forces Inflict Misery On Iraqis Fatih Abdulsalam May 29, 2005 Car bombs are the terrorists’ most dangerous weapon in Iraq. They have come to complement US troops’ crimes in humiliating Iraqis and violating their rights at home, on the street, at school and university.
The terrorist scheme being implemented on our land is primarily directed against Iraqis.
The shattered corpses of innocent Iraqis dotting streets in Baghdad and other places are not part of (…)

French citizens have just said "NO" to the new constitution that was submitted to their vote. I have heard so many things, in both the French and international media, so many analyses of the "NO" campaign in which I don’t see my opinion included, that I want to comment.
First, I had some difficulties in making my mind up. Like the journalists of MARIANNE, a weekly which I favor, I was induced to vote "YES" by my old European convictions, yet "NO" by logical (…)

By JOHN LEICESTER, Associated Press Writer / 25 minutes ago/

European Union’s first constitution Sunday, President Jacques Chirac said — a stinging repudiation of his leadership and the ambitious, decades-long effort to further unite the continent.
Chirac, who urged voters to approve the charter, announced the result in a brief, televised address. He said the process of ratifying the treaty would (…)

Perhaps there are countries where drivers stuck in traffic jams don’t get annoyed. They know they can do nothing about it, so they wait patiently. Think their own thoughts, listen to the radio or read until the jam disperses.
We Israelis are not like that. We are a nervous lot. We have no patience. When we are stuck in a jam, we curse the world and the government, demanding a solution, perhaps a dirt road by which we might escape.
This is why I find it so hard to (…)

GETTING AWAY - SCOT FREE
By Peter Fredson
There is an apocryphal story, which I invented, about an arrogant bank robber. During a bank hold-up he struck the security guard, raped a cashier, spat on the floor, and took all the cash in the vault. Then he had the bank president, vice president and chief cashier sign a statement granting him absolute immunity from any and all crimes he had committed in their bank.
An analogous situation has taken place with invading a country by using (…)

Officials in the Kenyan government reacted harshly today to the news that the US will suspend military aid until Nairobi decides to sign the bilateral agreement guaranteeing immunity for US citizens - civilian and military - before the International Criminal Court (ICC), in case they are charged with crimes against humanity, war crimes or genocide.

Congratulations France!- Can you send your revolutionary spirit to the US? What the British press had to say about the result of the French EU referendum

The French have never repudiated a ’European’ cause in the past. That they have done so now demands deep contemplation.
"The view of the French electorate (…)
