Bhutto's Last Address: Pakistan In Danger From Outside

30-12-2007 21:39 | Anti-militarism | World

In her last speech before her assassination, Bhutto signaled that she didn't want foreign troops (read: US forces currently stationed in Afghanistan) inside her country to battle Pakistan's internal problems with violence.
It is very doubtful, then, that she would have had any stomach for the kind of agreement, as had already brokered in Islamabad and Washington, for the US to provide Special Service forces to fight on the Pakistani side of the Afghani-Pakistani border.

At the moment this agreement was brokered, she became irrelevant to US foreign policy.And note the date of this article: one day before she was assassinated.

Also note that she told the BBC that if she was murdered, one of the people to investigate was "the man who murdered Osama bin Laden".

Anglo-American Ambitions behind the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto

30-12-2007 08:16 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Terror War | World

It has been known for months that the Bush-Cheney administration and its allies have been manuevering to strengthen their political control of Pakistan, paving the way for the expansion and deepening of the “war on terrorism” across the region. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto does not change this agenda. In fact, it simplifies Bush-Cheney’s options.

One has to wonder if IAI is rehearsing for Israel's invasion of Gaza - or any other country in the region which Israel has deemed an "existential threat" to Israel's existence.

Neo-Fascist Madmen Still Plotting Against Iran

28-12-2007 22:37 | Anti-militarism | World

Be very nervous ...

More proof that Madmen are running the USA and Israel.

This is yet another desperate attempt to create the illusion of a threat where none exists.

Of course their conclusion is true, since Iran doesn't have nukes!

Israel Defends Lebanon War Crimes

This should be a matter for a War Crimes Tribunal, not the perpetrators. Their findings are contrary to investigations carried out by the UN and human rights organizations.

Humanism and Violence

"Not torturing is changed into an act of barbarism.. Torture, the atom bomb and the globalization strategy-all save life. State terrorism presents itself as humanist realism, the only true way of securing life. As a Chilean general said, national security is like love; there is never enough."

Neocons and the West too quick to blame ‘Al Qaeda’ and ‘terrorists' for Bhutto

28-12-2007 08:49 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Terror War | World

Whenever turmoil is created in our world, such as assassination and bombing, and the neocons rush to point the finger of blame at ‘al Qaeda’ or some other associated ‘terror’ organisation, one can be reasonably sure that what the world has witnessed is yet another false flag operation perpetrated by a group or groups that have some ulterior, political, or even pecuniary motive or motives for creating such turmoil. And such is the case with the assassination yesterday of Pakistani politician Benazir Bhutto.

Police State America - A Look Back and Ahead

26-12-2007 20:27 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Terror War | World

It's been that way ever since 9/11 with both sides of the aisle complicit with the administration. This article looks back at the record, and year end is a good time to review it. It's hard imagining another as bad with a President defiling the law and once telling Republican colleagues the Constitution is "just a goddamned piece of paper."
