STOP THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS

I just watched this great new video about the clash between Islam and the West and how to stop it

Dump the Democrats and unite!

07-03-2007 18:32 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World

U.S. foreign policy has not and will not change direction as long as the Democratic Party continues to be dominated by corporate interests and tacit compliance with the neoconservative agenda. The antiwar movement needs to understand this reality or it is doomed to collapse like it did under the pressure of the 2004 elections.

French UNIFIL Troops "Seconds Away" From Downing Israeli Jet

06-03-2007 22:46 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism | World

This is not the first such incident, as Israel violates the cease-fire, Lebanese airspace, and a legally-binding UN SC Resolution on a daily basis. These soldiers are no doubt nervous, as they know that Israel targeted and murdered several UN monitors during their assault on Lebanon, after UN personnel referred to Israel's actions publicly as "War Crimes".

Bush Record of Illegalities Suggests Possible Role in 911

06-03-2007 22:43 | Anti-militarism | World

Of course, this goes for all of the Fascists gathered around Bush, as their histories are filled with similar actions, professed Fascist ideology, and their fortunes were all built upon the human misery their actions have caused.

US Troops Run Amok in Afghanistan

06-03-2007 22:32 | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

”Moreover, there is this vicious circle inasmuch as even professional occupying armies become demoralized in time, which leads to acts of violence against the civilian population and thus strengthens resistance.”
-Zbigniew Brzezinski on Occupying Armies

US Congress remains in a state of mental paralysis

06-03-2007 01:43 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Is this U.S. Congress a modern-day version of the German Reichstag, the governing body that watched in silence and total submission as a powerful war machine was assembled and then launched those preemptive attacks that led to the horror of World War II?

Mass murder of Afghan women & children

05-03-2007 09:22 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Gender | World

It is clear that passive killing, passive mass murder, passive holocaust-commission and passive genocide involve the same moral culpability as the corresponding active processes. Indeed you can be the judge of to what extent what is clearly an Afghan Holocaust, the Mass Avoidable Death (MAD) of Afghans, constitutes Genocide (albeit a Passive Genocide that nevertheless involves the same moral culpability as Active Genocide) by simply considering the precise wording of the relevant parts of the UN Genocide Convention.

Kurdish issue: Turkey to the negotiation table, Iran to the front!

05-03-2007 02:32 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

There is no question that neither Turkey nor Iran is willing to engage in a conflict with the Kurds. But, the fact that the negotiation process in Turkey has been, by and large, led by the USA, means that there is less hope for a healthy solution. US policy of bringing Turkey to the negotiation table while engaging Iran in a conflict will lead to tension between Turkey and Iran. As long as the USA and the UK hold the Kurdish trump card, PKK trump card, PJAK trump card, terror trump card, they will destabilise all the countries in the region.

Sy Hersh: Neolib Disinfo Operative?

04-03-2007 18:44 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

According to journalist and author Douglas Valentine, Sy Hersh is a “disinformation specialist” pedaling half-truths, a claim Valentine makes in relation to Hersh’s story on “Preemptive Manhunting” in Iraq (i.e., a rebirth of the Phoenix program, the nefarious assassination operation carried out in during the Vietnam war). “

Hicks, Howard and Rogue USA

03-03-2007 02:02 | Anti-militarism | Other Press | Repression | World

Anyone familiar with the criminal tactics of thoroughly corrupt State Institutions would not be surprised to learn of the plea bargain offered Guantanamo Bay detainee, David Hicks. After five years of torture and various other forms of physical and psychological abuse, the U.S. has offered a deal that would see Hicks released from Guantanamo but not necessarily from continued incarceration.

Poltergeist Osama Makes His Return

03-03-2007 01:05 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Isn’t it curious “al-Qaeda” has decided to “open new fronts” in countries that figure on the neocon target list?

Two East Timorese protestors killed by Australian troops

02-03-2007 20:30 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

The entire political and media establishment is complicit in the Howard government’s neo-colonial operation in East Timor, and the latest killings have, predictably, produced not a word of protest. While posturing as opponents of Australia’s participation in the occupation of Iraq, the Labor Party and the Greens back every military intervention in the Pacific to the hilt—from East Timor in 1999, to the Solomons in 2003 and 2006, and the Timor operation last year.

“Controversial” Hypocrisy: US Support for Terror Groups in Iran

01-03-2007 20:01 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Sunday Telegraph quotes Fred Burton, a former State Department counter-terrorism agent: “The latest attacks inside Iran fall in line with US efforts to supply and train Iran’s ethnic minorities to destabilise the Iranian regime.” That is to say, the US is deliberately exploiting ethnic divisions in Iran to destabilize the country -- precisely what it has accused Iran of trying to do in Iraq.

Justice for the Weaker: Book Review

01-03-2007 12:33 | Anti-militarism | World

The ice age man is Maurer's metaphor for the homo oeconomicus who ignores all human feelings.. Maurer shows how empire in history based only on the power of the bayonnet destroyed its own state-supporting middle class and shared values and was consecrated to destruction.. The greed for resources and slaves led to military overreach and ultimately collapse.

Blair seeks to deepen military alliance with Washington

01-03-2007 09:52 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Terror War | World

Just two days after Prime Minister Tony Blair announced a reduction in British troops in Iraq, Defence Secretary Des Browne made clear that this was in fact a redeployment of troops to Afghanistan.

Why the FBI got away with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing?

01-03-2007 00:37 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

On February 26, 1993, a gray snowy day in Manhattan like the one I write on 14 years later, the FBI and US government failed to stop the van-bomb explosion in the World Trade Center’s basement garage, just as NORAD and the US government failed to stop the airliner blitz on the Twin Towers and Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

Neocon Imperialism, 9/11, and the Attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq

01-03-2007 00:01 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

One way to understand the effect of 9/11, in most general terms, is to see that it allowed the agenda developed in the 1990s by neoconservatives to be implemented.

Regime change is the reason, disarmament the excuse: Interview with Scott Ritter

28-02-2007 23:40 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Iran has given the IAEA inspectors extraordinary access to facilities throughout Iran. They have explained things. They have provided documents. They have done above and beyond what is required by the Nonproliferation Treaty and have demonstrated that their nuclear energy program is a program that is consistent with that which is permitted by the law. But thanks to the United States, the IAEA has corrupted the integrity of the process.

The Bush administration’s new strategy of setting the Middle East aflame

28-02-2007 13:08 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Terror War | World

A lengthy article in this week’s New Yorker magazine by veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh provides further evidence that the Bush administration has not only set course for war against Iran, but has over the past few months embarked on a reckless and incendiary strategy that has the potential to unleash sectarian Sunni-Shia conflicts throughout the Middle East.
