When Dictator is Booted from White House America Can Rebuild.

I find it very interesting that just a few days after the American appointed governing council in Iraq votes to begin a tribunal for Iraqi war criminals even though no constitution has been ratified that could legitimize any form of Judiciary in Iraq, Saddam Hussein conveniently shows up.

Human Rights Watch slams Coalition's dirty war tactics

12-12-2003 18:10 | Anti-militarism | World

The Coalition took many precautions to spare civilians from the effects of the ground war, including vetting cluster munition strikes and giving guidance to troops involved in direct combat. The use by U.S. and U.K. ground forces of cluster munitions, especially in or near populated areas, however, was one of the major causes of civilian casualties in the war. Moreover, in some instances of direct combat, problems with training on as well as dissemination and clarity of the rules of engagement may have contributed to loss of civilian life.

Evidence of fraud by Nato at Srebrenica exhumation site

09-12-2003 23:02 | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World

The Kamencia exhumation supposedly uncovered more than 500 victims of the Srebrenica massacre. However, publicity in the SFOR publication seem to suggest that this mass grave was little more than a public relations hoax. This has not stopped it being used in War Crimes proceedings.

Ocean Graves for Leftists

03-12-2003 18:05 | Anti-militarism | World

Not only were leftists sent to Pacific ocean graves near Chile by Pinochet, but during the so-called dirty war in Argentina, thousands of leftists were pushed alive out of airplanes over the Atlantic ocean. Their mothers protested for years in the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires to learn their fate. This is the way that fascists and their cohorts in the CIA and US government treat people who want land reform, better wages and working conditions, health care and education for everyone and no child labor or starving children. They exterminate the more intelligent and compassionate members of society.

Failure of Congo Peace Process Predicted

A panel of the United Nations prepared a study of the civil war, beginning in 1998, which gripped the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for nearly five years.
