Oh no! Not More Comment on Iraq.

29-08-2007 08:37 | Anti-militarism | World

The occupation of Iraq by the US seems to continue to move closer towards comprehensive failure. One thing history tells us is that brutal empires come and go; perhaps complete failure in Iraq with the resistence combining to send the invaders packing will spell the end of the US empire.

29-08-2007 06:30 | Anti-militarism | Technology | Terror War | World

For weeks, British media and sections of the political elite have been urging the government and the military to focus their attention on military operations in Afghanistan.

The Neo-Fascist Plot Against Iran

28-08-2007 22:18 | Anti-militarism | World

As news of US/Israeli plans for an Act of Aggression against Iran gets louder, so too does the unsubstantiated warnings from Bush/PNAC about the dire threat of another attack (which would only highlit their incompetence, and suggest responsibility).

Hillary’s “New War”

24-08-2007 19:28 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Terror War | World

Come November, 2008, Democrats will, not unlike pre-programmed Stepford wives, line up behind Hillary Clinton. Democrats have no other choice, as most of them are disgusted with two terms of Bush, that is to say the neocons. Of course, Hillary is not much different, maybe in minor style but hardly in substance, and a vote for Hillary—call it the Clinton dynasty, following on the heels of the Bush dynasty—will be a vote for more mass murder and incalculable misery.
