According to the article, The Regime is sputtering with rage over Chirac's refusal to accept his marching orders against Iraq. The Regime has also expressed its contempt for the German government. An observation here: The position that Chirac has taken is commendable as far as it goes, but unless Iraq is placed under the protection of a French nuclear umbrella a la USA and Japan, the end result looks like it's going to be the same. As Arundhati Roy has pointed out, it is not sufficient to confront Empire, it is necessary to place it under siege. read full story / add a comment

The Antichrist has given his "blessing" to the head of the Iraqi National Congress, Ahmed Chalabi, to lead a transitional coalition government in Iraq once Saddam has been deposed. Mr Chalabi, the 58-year old scion of an Iraqi financial dynasty, left Iraq aged 11, spending most of his exile in Britain and the US, where he studied mathematics. In 1996 he led an unsuccessful uprising against Saddam that resulted in hundreds of deaths. A sentence of 22 years hard labour hangs over him in Jordan where he was convicted in his absence in 1992 of fraud. read full story / add a comment

Praising the efforts of young people in showing their opposition to the war and the use of Shannon Airport by the US military he said, "Ógra Shinn Féin, the Peace Campers, and all other young anti-war activists should be commended for the courage of their convictions." read full story / add a comment
