One of the great unresolved questions of the early twenty-first century is that of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. How far had Saddam’s WMD programs progressed prior to the United States toppling his government in 2003? And to what can we attribute the failures of U.S. intelligence – and virtually all the intelligence services throughout the world – in massively overestimating Saddam’s WMD capabilities? read full story / add a comment

There has never been an instance in recorded history when a nation that achieved military superiority did not attempt to dominate other nations. This is the inevitable result of gaining a strategic or technological ‘advantage.’ In view of the historical record, is it unusual that America would abandon its founding principles in favour of despotism and the pursuit of world domination? The path the US has taken is not new; it is a tired well-worn path that leads to certain destruction. read full story / add a comment

The Lebanon is familiar to many Irish, the former French posession saw the Irish army serve with the United Nations in peace keeping operations throughout the late XX century.

In that time, one man came to epitomise Lebanese politics and further became the richest man in the state. Rafik al Hariri was assasinated in a car bomb on St Valentine's day 2005. read full story / add a comment

dublin / anti-capitalism / event notice Wednesday February 16, 2005 03:38 by Anthony G
The film follows two anti-corporate activist-pranksters as they impersonate World Trade Organization spokesmen on TV and at business conferences. After launching a web site http://www.gatt.org/ as a parody of the official WTO site, they find themselves being invited to speak about trade issues at business conferences around the world. They use these opportunities to lampoon neo-liberal ideology by taking the ideas to extreme conclusions which make no sense from a "common-sense" perspective. They advocate a market in human rights abuses and say that democracy should also be turned into a free market by auctioning off votes to the highest bidder. Finding that their ideas are taken seriously rather than being dismissed out of hand, they come up with even more shocking ideas and absurd antics. read full story / add a comment
