PRO POW’s Maghaberry Gaol Aontroim. “We won the war, Now let’s win the peace” No! it’s not some Brit or Yank general after the fall of Baghdad or Basra. It’s Sinn Fein’s annual ‘sound-bite’ from a veteran to rally the troops who might be doubtful. Nothing like a self-congratulatory ‘pat on the back’ to make everyone feel we’re in control. Unless I fell asleep and have just wakened up, I don’t remember any Brits waving white flags in West Belfast, Tyrone, Derry, South Armagh or anywhere else for that matter. read full story / add a comment

In Mosul they shoot a dozen people dead and wound sixty more ,incuding an 11 year old girl, in an incident icredibly similar to Bloody Sunday. In Baghdad they move reporters away from anti-US demonstrations. Where are the welcoming crowds, where is the democracy, where are the weapons of mass destruction (and don't say Syria)? read full story / add a comment

How come my article on 100 years of child abuse in Ireland was deleted? It was somewhat tongue in cheek but it is more relevant to Irish society than anything that is happening in Iraq. Did it touch a raw nerve with some of the commitee that decides what can be published on this so-called open forum? read full story / add a comment

NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN: "I am a good friend of Joschka, and he tells me, that Turkey will never join", says the Danish foreign minister PER STIG MØLLER in a corridor passage which was taped and used in the film. Candid comments made by the Danish foreign minister and filmed by a Danish TV producer could trouble the entire political process of aligning Turkey with EU membership. read full story / add a comment

The G7 was set up in 1975 by Giscard d’Estaing in order to provide a focal point for the leaders of the most powerful states to have informal discussions on financial and economic matters. It brought together the U.S., Japan, France, Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom and Italy; in effect, an alliance of the main powers on the ‘right’ side of the Iron Curtain. It was only in 1994 that Russia joined this very closed circle. read full story / add a comment

Translated from Le Soir US Ambassador slams anti-war Belgium 11 April 2003 BRUSSELS – The US Ambassador to Belgium has sent an angry letter to the Belgian government, accusing it of blatantly supporting the Iraqi regime. US Ambassador Stephen Brauer lashed out at the government for its refusal to seal off the Iraqi embassy or take steps against any Iraqi officials in the country. In an interview with the Flemish financial daily De Tijd, Brauer went as far as to suggest that the perceived lack of cooperation could result in Nato headquarters moving from Brussels to elsewhere. Foreign Affairs Minister Louis Michel, who came out in support of France and Germany in early February, condemning a war in Iraq without UN approval, was said to be ‘astonished’ by the letter’s content. read full story / add a comment
