Every week in Dublin a young man is attacked, beaten to within an inch of his life or stabbed to death. The media is blaming it on alcohol. This may be so. But what if it's rampant homophobia in which attackers use their being pissed as a cover to conceal their hatred of gay people? The guys who are beaten up won't admit they were cruising; the attackers won't admit they're homophobic thugs who were also cruising and the media is too scared to tackle the issue head on. No surprise there then. ... read full story / add a comment

15.04.2003 - In war-torn Saravena, a town of 30,000 in Arauca department in eastern Colombia, soldiers dressed as clowns befriend local children by offering them candy, rides on armored personnel carriers, and the use of the army's swimming pool in return for the opportunity to pummel them with pro-army and anti-rebel propaganda.

Before the Global Women's Strike Community Picket could even commence today outside Mill St Garda Station in Galway, we were approached by a uniformed Garda who gave us the drill about what we could and couldn't do. Then he added 'I hope I won't have to use my baton on you'. This, apparently, was a 'joke' - he was the only one laughing. It was uttered in the presence of a ten year old boy. Does the vicious attack on women, children and men in Iraq embolden the Garda Siochana to make veiled threats to women and children in this country? ... read full story / add a comment

By Naomi Klein, The Nation April 15, 2003 On April 6, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz spelled it out: There will be no role for the United Nations in setting up an interim government in Iraq.

PRO POW’s Maghaberry Gaol Aontroim. “We won the war, Now let’s win the peace” No! it’s not some Brit or Yank general after the fall of Baghdad or Basra. It’s Sinn Fein’s annual ‘sound-bite’ from a veteran to rally the troops who might be doubtful. Nothing like a self-congratulatory ‘pat on the back’ to make everyone feel we’re in control. Unless I fell asleep and have just wakened up, I don’t remember any Brits waving white flags in West Belfast, Tyrone, Derry, South Armagh or anywhere else for that matter. ... read full story / add a comment

In Mosul they shoot a dozen people dead and wound sixty more ,incuding an 11 year old girl, in an incident icredibly similar to Bloody Sunday. In Baghdad they move reporters away from anti-US demonstrations. Where are the welcoming crowds, where is the democracy, where are the weapons of mass destruction (and don't say Syria)? ... read full story / add a comment

How come my article on 100 years of child abuse in Ireland was deleted? It was somewhat tongue in cheek but it is more relevant to Irish society than anything that is happening in Iraq. Did it touch a raw nerve with some of the commitee that decides what can be published on this so-called open forum? ... read full story / add a comment |
