"If Bush wins again, the attack is the best defense delusion threatens and the realization of the self-fulfilling prophecy of the American rightwing that sees a coming clash of civilizations between Islam and the West.. The US fluctuates between democratic renewal and totalitarian regression.

The new issue of Traveling Soldier is out!U.S. wants to kill Sadr now. Stop them!

8/19/04Dear friends of peace and justice all over our world,
The U.S. wants to kill Moktada al-Sadr now! This is because they well understand that if a poll were taken, Sadr would be shown to be the hero the Iraqi people would choose. Of course, he has stood up to the hated invaders like no other figure in that inflamed nation. He has put his life on the line, told the truth, and followed his principles. That is the kind of leader the facists will never tolerate.
And right now the propagandists and spinmasters are working double time trying to hide this truth from the U.S. public, (CNN, ABC, NPR, CBS, etc.) as they work to eliminate this man. If this understanding were to sink in to the public mind, the erosion of support for this insane neocon war effort could be dramatic.
Please share this perspective with as many others as possible. Contact elected officials and representatives where ever you are and demand that they put pressure on the U.S. military to back off this legitimate Iraqi leader. This is an urgent request. There may not be much time. We can stop this war and change the world if we act! jamie

THE PEACE CYCLE COMMENCESSaturday 14th August was an historic day, as cyclists from all over England commenced ‘The Peace Cycle’ – a cycle ride from London to Jerusalem. The cyclists left Hyde Park from a farewell rally attended by hundreds of supporters. They cycled to Newhaven where they crossed the channel by ferry to Dieppe and continued to Paris. Yesterday evening an event was held at Bastille, attended by French dignitaries, supporters and members of human rights groups.
