"War is the health of the state." -- Randolph Bourne (RADICAL WRITER) To the U.S. Civil War general, William Tecumsah Sherman is ascribed the saying, "War is hell," but, truth be told, war is not hell to all. War *is* hell to the poor, to the weak, to women, children, and the elderly. It is often hell to the young men who wage wars, who see and experience the inhuman horrors of war, and have to carry the physical and psychological scars of battle into their last days. read full story / add a comment

Excerpt: "Q: There is something surprising in the fact that you see the Palestinian threat as an existential threat. "A: The characteristics of that threat are invisible, like cancer. When you are attacked externally, you see the attack, you are wounded. Cancer, on the other hand, is something internal. Therefore, I find it more disturbing, because here the diagnosis is critical. If the diagnosis is wrong and people say it's not cancer but a headache, then the response is irrelevant. But I maintain that it is cancer. My professional diagnosis is that there is a phenomenon here that constitutes an existential threat." read full story / add a comment

British Energy in Crisis. UK have options - 1, a financial bail out which makes a mockery of privitisation; 2, a complicated trade off with other nuke powers and public cash; 3, follow the Germans and announce a phase out of nuclear power over a realistic time frame. read full story / add a comment

Gordon Deegan's report quotes an Inspector Tom Kennedy who appears to have trouble with the meanings of words or else is trying to twist the truth. Inspector Kennedy labels Dubsky's non-violent direct action protest "extremely dangerous behaviour" and insinuates that this peaceful, principled and moral action was not "a peaceful protest". I publish the full text of this article below as it appears that only those with an account with the Indo can actually read the links. Please let me know if this is unwanted/unacceptable on Indymedia.ie. Personally I think that there's no problem in documenting the spin of corporate media, but I understand there may be different opinions and am prepared to go with the consensus. Deegan's article is pretty good in that it mentions that the protests are about the USAF abusing our neutrality at Shannon. read full story / add a comment

There has been no official declaration, no formal surrender, but the Al Aqsa intifadeh, launched by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat two years ago, is over. As usual, the Palestinians have lost. "All forms of Palestinian violence have to stop," Arafat's military chief, Abdel Razak Yehiyeh, told an interviewer. "All resistance acts that are characterized by violence, such as using arms or even stones ... are harmful." read full story / add a comment

In previous issues of the Corporate Europe Observer, we have reported European industry lobby groups campaigning to influence the negotiations on the new EU Treaty, which was finalised at the Summit in Nice in December 2000. One of the main corporate demands was for further centralisation of the EU's decision-making on international trade, through changes in the EU Treaty's Article 133. Diverse NGOs and grassroots groups from around Europe campaigned against giving the European Commission "fast-track" powers, which would further deepen the democratic gap. Kenneth Haar, SOS-WTO Denmark, looks at what the Nice Treaty means for the EU's international trade policies. — By Kenneth Haar, SOS WTO (Denmark read full story / add a comment
