The Antichrist has given his "blessing" to the head of the Iraqi National Congress, Ahmed Chalabi, to lead a transitional coalition government in Iraq once Saddam has been deposed. Mr Chalabi, the 58-year old scion of an Iraqi financial dynasty, left Iraq aged 11, spending most of his exile in Britain and the US, where he studied mathematics. In 1996 he led an unsuccessful uprising against Saddam that resulted in hundreds of deaths. A sentence of 22 years hard labour hangs over him in Jordan where he was convicted in his absence in 1992 of fraud. ... read full story / add a comment

Praising the efforts of young people in showing their opposition to the war and the use of Shannon Airport by the US military he said, "Ógra Shinn Féin, the Peace Campers, and all other young anti-war activists should be commended for the courage of their convictions." ... read full story / add a comment

EU/GATS/Cultural Diversity: Regions rally behind Jacques Chirac Strasbourg,4/02/2003 -The Assembly of European Regions (AER) supports the recent proposal of French President Jacques Chirac, who argued for the adoption of an international Convention on Cultural Diversity. For the South-Tyrolean Minister Bruno Hosp, chairman of AER's Culture/Education Committee, the French initiative reiterates the demands of the 2002 Brixen Declaration of European Regional Ministers in charge of Culture and Education. "The Regions are totally opposed to submit culture, media and education to unlimited commercial interests and liberalisation as pursued by GATS." The Regions insist on exclusion of these sectors, predominantely public services, from the ongoing GATS-negotiations and are critical of the EU-Trade Commissioner when pressing the member states for more liberalisation offers and requests. The AER is also prepared to fight against attempts by the Commissioner Viviane Reding which would make culture more than a "matter of assistance" (domaine d'appui) of the European level. ... read full story / add a comment
