Having just spent the weekend out in Shannon, where US military flights continue to pass through daily, I'm coming around to the idea that we should launch an all-out boycott campaign of Shannon Airport. What do you think? read full story / add a comment

I suppose in ten years time we won't but should be watching the lastest tribunal that exposes Garda corruption, prevarication, intimidation and now down right theft. And not unlike the McBriaty case it is all spun out against a backround tapestry of a war. From the intimidation bully boy tactics shown to anyone around Shannon who actively doesn't support the American use of the deathport to the fact that at last Saturdays peace rally in Cork the Guardi stole the buckets of money raised by, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), the Cork Peace Alliance. read full story / add a comment

MANAMA, March 24 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - A strong blast occurred Monday night, March 24, 2003 in Bahrain near the U.S. Jufair military base which serves as headquarters of the Navy's Fifth Fleet. The explosion that was heard at around 1900 GMT shook residences near the base but it was not immediately possible to determine if the blast came from inside or outside the base, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP). http://www.islam-online.net/english/News/2003-03/24/article22.shtml read full story / add a comment

By John Brown Last Friday afternoon, as I watched the horrid images of the first "shock and awe" U.S. bombing blitz against Baghdad, which doubtless brought terror to millions of innocent civilians, my feelings of outrage at the Bush administration were joined by a sense of relief that was perhaps inappropriate at such a shameful moment in our history. I was relieved that, eleven days before, I had submitted my resignation from the U.S. foreign service. Numerous circumstances led to my resignation, but there were two main reasons. First, I believed that U.S. President George W. Bush had failed to present a convincing case to Americans and the world that massive force should be used against Iraq at this time. Second, I felt an obligation as an American to speak out against this presidential failure to justify a questionable policy. http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2003/03/24/006.html read full story / add a comment |
