"Comrades. If we don't do it, who will? Will the narrow, dogmatic economism of the Socialist Party do it? Will the will-o'-the-wisp politics of the endless frenetic protesting and sloganeering of the SWP bring change? Will Sinn Fein deliver, or are they now treading the well-worn path of electoralism, reducing the working class to mere election cannon-fodder? Will a middle dominated organisation like the Labour Party deliver, wedded as it is to coalition?" - Eugene McCartan, General Secretary of the Communist Party Of Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Interesting story which suggests the Pentagon has plans to launch a blizzard of "surgical strikes" Iran. With 1,200 targets I wonder how much collateral damage will be caused? Somehow I see creches being hit more easily than command-centres. Full story at link. The Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians’ military capability in three days, according to a national security expert. Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for “pinprick strikes” against Iran’s nuclear facilities. “They’re about taking out the entire Iranian military,” he said. read full story / add a comment

This is a statement from the Iraq Freedom Congress, a Secular Non-Ethnic organisation which campaigns on behalf of ordinary Iraqi people. It opposes both the US Occupation and the Islamist Militias. Here it deals with fighting between two Islamist Militias which is causing untold hardship to the Iraqi people. Full text at link. Since yesterday, and the militia groups (Sadr and the Islamic Supreme Council) turned many cities of Iraq to battlefields and military barracks; and the atmosphere of terror has dominated the lives and livelihoods of people as if they needed more killings and crimes. This came after fighting erupted between supporters of the two groups in the city of Karbala (95 Km southwest of Baghdad) in a religious event. read full story / add a comment

In the face of a concerted anti-Arabic and Islamophobic campaign , Yemeni born teacher , Debbie Almontaser , has resigned as principal of the Brooklyn based Khalil Gibran International Academy . Almontaser’s earlier failure to “instinctively denounce” a NYC Intifadia T-shirt in terms satisfactory to Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post had resulted in a witch hunt being organized against her and the school she helped found by right-wing Zionists, Christian fundamentalists and Islamophobes . Instead of offering support to the veteran teacher , United Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten ,added her voice to the racist campaign . read full story / add a comment

Here an Iranian Socialist and Anti-Imperialist explains why it is not a good idea for Iran to develop or to maintain Nuclear Power stations. Full text at the link. Those in the Iranian socialist opposition arguing for a nuclear-free Iran have either been absent from the Western left's discourse or have been getting the short end of the stick from some in the US left. Trapped in a mentality as simplistic as that of George Bush's, a good part of the US left has been repeating a similar logic, by saying that either you go along with the imperialists' plans and support Bush or find excuses to support Iran's government's pursuit of nuclear energy. read full story / add a comment

Increasingly the patient is no longer seen as a passive recipient of medical treatment. Attempts are being made, at least at an ideological level, to involve patients more in the design of medication and to lend some weight to what patients really think of medication and how it is affecting them. Naturally there are life saving chemicals like penicillin, insulin and cytamen (for vitamin B12) but there is a plethora of more optional drugs on the market not least a whole cabinet of neuroleptic drugs. From my own observations as a patient for over 30 years attending clinics and hospitals throughout that period it is unclear whether many of these drugs have an authentic role in (a) preserving life or (b) in improving the quality of life of the patient. read full story / add a comment |
