Welcome though it seems on humanitarian grounds, there are six serious problems with this UN resolution
The first reaction was relief. The UN security council resolution 1973 authorising foreign intervention in Libya was held up as an attempt to protect the Libyan rebels and alleviate their suffering, and who would not welcome that? Who would not want to stop a bully intent on "wiping out" those who oppose him? But any relief should be tempered by serious misgivings.
First, what motives (…)

20 March 2011 marks the 8th anniversary of the illegal, war criminal invasion of Iraq by the US, UK and Australia. Post-invasion violent deaths (1.4 million) and non-violent avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation (1.2 million) total 2.6 million. Yet the Western France-UK-US (FUKUS) Coalition ignores the carnage of the ongoing Iraqi Holocaust and Iraqi Genocide and marked this dreadful anniversary by commencing a devastating high technology war on another Arab nation, Libya, a Libyan (…)

Methane (CH4) is a major greenhouse gas (GHG) that on a 100 year time scale has a relative global warming potential (GWP) that is 25 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2).
However a re-assessment by US scientists that takes atmospheric aerosol responses to CH4 into account has found that on a 20 year time scale CH4 is 105 times worse than CO2 as a GHG (as compared to 79 without considering aerosol effects).
Recent data from the US EPA indicates that the industrial leakage of CH4 in the US (…)

STOP THE BOMBING NOW SUNDAY 20 MARCH 3-4PM DOWNING ST, WHITEHALL, LONDON
Britain and the USA have bombed Libya with more than one hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles. These are not precision guided weapons but weapons of mass destruction that will create many civilian casualties in Libya.
The United Nations resolution authorising a no-fly zone begins as it will continue, with a full-scale military attack on the country.
Stop the War condemns this barbarous attack which will result, not in (…)

A new war has been declared in the Middle East. With the bloody and failing occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan still in place, the USA, Britain and France are now committed to an escalating armed intervention in Libya.
The decision to attack Libya and impose regime change – for that is what the UN resolution means – may have been authorised by the Security Council. But it was instigated by the despots of the Arab League, desperate to secure deeper western involvement in the region to save (…)

The need to address the multifaceted nature and ongoing complexity of Japan’s disaster is evident with each day’s news updates. Within minutes after the 9.0 earthquake, northeastern Japan was engulfed by a tsunami that has done more damage then the (…)
