The US invasion has just begun and now it seems that Turkey is keen on seizing the opportunity to invade Iraq from the north in pursuit of its own geopolitical anti-Kurdish agenda. read full story / add a comment

By any conventional military measure Saddam Hussein is a dwarf and the Iraqi armed forces are much weaker than they were on the eve of “The Mother of All Battles”. Saddam probably has a considerable chemical and biological weapons program, but, in the absence of a powerful conventional force, it is more or less all he has and is best suited for deterrence. As for nuclear weapons, he does not have them yet. Should he acquire them, then the American arsenal that, at the height of the Cold War, succeeded in deterring 2,300 Soviet delivery vehicles with perhaps 10,000 warheads (plus another 10,000 in reserve) should be more than sufficient to deter Saddam as well. In the mind of countless people around the world, including many Americans, all of this raises the question why the US appears determined to make war against Saddam at this time. read full story / add a comment

The Financial Times reports that Ben Tonra, lecturer in politics at U.C.D. said: 'There's neither precedent nor principle for this current Irish policy, simply political expediency'. He said that the real lesson of the debate over Shannon is 'the Anglo-Saxon impetus in the cabinet', personified by Charlie McGreevy and Mary Harney. read full story / add a comment

The attack against Iraq has started. Bush and his allies will spread death and horror among the Iraqi population. However, not all Americans do support their government's actions. An American Vietnam Veteran visited Greece last month. After his visit the American groups Veterans for Peace and Citizen Soldier formed an appeal to American GIs serving in Europe. You are all prompted to distribute it. read full story / add a comment

The BBC is reporting that the US has offered $10bn in aid to help Israel out of the worst economic crisis since the country was created. They ignore UN resolution 242 for 30 years and they get aid. Why have they not been punished for their unending human rights abuses? Full story from the BBC is here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2867619.stm The US government is hypocritical in the extreme. They preach democracy and justice, but all they care about is themselves. read full story / add a comment

An Anti War picket is ongoing at Top Oil Garage in Amiens Street. About 20 people are participating, Blisset was filming so expect some home movies later. We had a discussion with the owner and asked him if he would phone Top Oil to complain about their working for the US military. He replied that he was afraid to do so in case he was blacked by Top Oil & put out of business. read full story / add a comment |
