Fallujans pay the price of liberation
18-11-2004 20:30
When a nation's identity, existence and dignity is put at risk, the sacrifice required is far more than the lives of a group of fighters, and that is why Falluja has chosen to carry the flag of resistance in Iraq, in the clear knowledge it may be wiped out.Second USUK Al Fallujah massacre

The Streets of Baghdad
We had our daily car bomb today when a suicide bomber drove his car into
a US patrol as it passed near the Yarmouk police station. Several Iraqis
were killed, with no report yet on US casualties. I felt the rumble even
though I was on a street far away from the blast-at least 5 miles distant.
FALLUJAH IS JUST THE START: THE PROGRAM IS FOR WAR
18-11-2004 19:42
It's about the lie of war that governments and the military have elaborated over the last ten years, the technological, smart surgical war that is supposed to limit civilian deaths, thereby somehow making the killing acceptable. It suggests that the conflicts at the moment are the on-going practice of a policy of war orchestrated the US administration, both before and after 911, and nothing to do with terrorism.Hunt Scum now STUFFED!!!

A demonstration has been called for Friday December 3rd, on St Michaels Street (off Cornmarket, Oxford) at 7.30 pm, to 'welcome' Jose Maria Aznar. He is speaking at theOxford Union on foreign affairs - on which his most notable contribution was the
unwavering support he gave to Bush and Blair over the war on Iraq (including contributing Spanish troops). Spread the word - bring pots, pans, and anything with which to make noise.

Another example of how the WTO and IP (Intellectual Property) law are used to club "developing" nations into accepting the corporate dominance of (predominantely) the U.S.Bad reviews, ethical criticism, corporate band wagons, bad feelings - Band Aid!

Stations are banning it from their airwaves because its "Rubbish". Paul McCartney was so exhausted after recording his bit that he collapsed on the floor. The original cover was banned by record execs because it might frighten small children.And what's worse, the lyrics have come in for major criticism... While no one is criticising the basic good intention, what might have been waking the world up 20 years ago to the issues of poverty and famine and fundraising, is no longer sufficient in todays world.
What else can go wrong?
