I watched the news about the aforementioned statements by al-Dahri on Al-Jazeera with one of my close Iraqi friends here. As we watched the large funeral procession with the body of the murdered cleric while al-Dahri made his ferocious statements, I watched her head drop into her hands as she said softly, "This is so horrible what has happened to my country since the Americans came."

iraq quagmire or Genocide

The so-called progressive Neo-liberal media in the US are more closed minded in support of invasion than the the rightwingers who occupied Iraq. That is why not only we don't have anti-war movements but actually there is no credible voice if dissents.Here is one example of a neo-liberal hypocricy. They are using the argument about the Quagmire in Iraq as a sokescreen to cover the genocide in iraq.

02-05-2005 15:09 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | London | World

The Dutch ambassador to the UK, Count Jan de Marchant et d'Ansembourg, said he hoped that Tony Blair would win the British elections of 5 May. That, he said on Dutch NOS TV, would better for Dutch relations to George W. Bush's USA.

Washington Beating War Drums - Act Now, Defend The Venezuelan Revolution!

01-05-2005 21:55 | Anti-militarism | World

"It is clear that the US administration is increasingly hostile towards the Bolivarian revolution, which is standing firm against US imperialism. George Bush is frustrated because all the attempts to smash it have failed. But the strategy of isolating Venezuela from other Latin American governments has also failed so far. Donald Rumsfeld's recent tour of the region was not at all successful in this respect. But these failures do not mean that Washington will abandon its aggressive stance towards Venezuela. On the contrary, it means that its aggression will be stepped up and acquire dangerous proportions if it is not halted by a massive movement of protest from below."
