Iraqi satellite TV, which can be received around the world, carried a news conference by Trade Minister Muhammad Mahdi Salih in which he invoked the deaths of British troops in the 1920s as a warning to the current attackers. "In 1920, the British Army was the most powerful army in the world. One hundred thousand soldiers of the British Army were killed then. Their tombs are in Baghdad and other Iraqi governorates. The Iraqis achieved this victory through the use of primitive weapons," Mr Salih said in Arabic. "They resisted the invaders and triumphed over them by using sticks and clubs. Using sticks and rifles, they triumphed over the British Army's will in 1920 when the latter used guns, aircraft, and tanks." read full story / add a comment

After the war in Iraq, Israel will try to convince the U.S. to direct its war on terror at Iran, Damascus and Beirut. Senior defense establishment officials say that initial contacts in this direction have already been made in recent months, and that there is a good chance that America will be swayed by the Israeli argument. read full story / add a comment

We've just seen what Awe and Shock is. Imagine if your child had to hear the noise, the loud explosions of 500, 1000 and 2000 pound bombs. Now imagine your child was in Bagdad and had to live though that, cuddled up in your arms, crying with fear. Not knowing through their genuine innocence what is going on. For them its the end of the world. Could your child every get over this? read full story / add a comment

WASHINGTON, March 20 (AFP) - Another veteran US diplomat has resigned from the State Department in protest over President George W. Bush's policy toward Iraq, becoming the third and the highest-ranking career foreign service officer to do so since last month, officials said Thursday. Mary Wright, the number two at the US embassy in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, told Secretary of State Colin Powell she was resigning because she could no longer perform her job in good conscience, the officials said. read full story / add a comment

The 6pm Day X vigil on Daunt Square, organised by the Cork Anti-War Campaign, attracted more than 500 people. Following an 'open mike', a spontaneous march was held which went up Patrick Street, before staging a mass sit-down on Patrick's Bridge. The entire bridge was covered with protesters who were directing their anger at Fianna Fail and the PDs. Before the protest finished, a minute's silence was held for those who have died, and will die, in Iraq. Next event: march in Cork on Saturday, assembling at Daunt Square at 1pm. read full story / add a comment |
