This is the text of a talk given last weekend at the Socialist Youth Summer camp in Co. Monaghan during a debate between Brian Cahill of the SP and James O Brien of the WSM. I am posting it here as, although there have been many anarchism vs. Leninism debates on Indymedia, they have rarely risen above simplistic distortions and slagging. Perhaps Brian could post his talk here as well and we could both sides of the debate. Maybe it’ll be different this time, or maybe that is extreme wishful thinking. read full story / add a comment

War in Iraq was inevitable. That there would be war was decided by North American planners in the mid-1920s; that it would be in Iraq was decided much more recently. The architects of this war were not military planners but town planners. War is inevitable not because of so-called weapons of mass destruction, as claimed by the political right, nor because of Western imperialism, as claimed by the left. The cause of this war is car dependence. read full story / add a comment

No political observer can afford to ignore or deny the fact that the Israeli government is still using all gimmicks manoeuvers to hinder the implementation of the international legitimacy resolutions concerning the Middle East problem. Observers and analysts do not need further evidence to find that Israel is still opposing all honest peace efforts being exerted by the Arabs in general and the Palestinian people in particular. By persisting in its intransigent policy Israel is not only standing against the international legitimacy resolutions, but also rejecting the very initiative, the roadmap, put forward by the US and other parties of the Quartet Committee, the UN, the EU and Russia. read full story / add a comment
international / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Monday July 21, 2003 20:20 by Assyrian Delegation   text 3 comments (last - monday july 21, 2003 22:30)
As we are nearing a turning point in the history of our homeland Iraq, the below mentioned Democratic Assyrian political organisations would like to take this opportunity to highlight the plight and concerns of our people in Iraq.

Assyrian Christians are the indigenous people of Iraq, our history in that region spans 6000 years. Assyrians speak the Aramaic language, the language of our saviour Jesus Christ and indeed Assyrians were the first nation to accept Christianity in the first century A.D.

During the First World War, Assyrians allied with the British against the Ottoman Turks and as a consequence lost over half our population as well as our ancestral homelands.

There are approximately 1.5 million Assyrian Christians in Iraq today. Under the current dictatorial regime, Assyrian people have endured 35 years of systematic oppression, persecution and summary executions due to our distinct race and Christian beliefs. read full story / add a comment
