"Comrades. If we don't do it, who will? Will the narrow, dogmatic economism of the Socialist Party do it? Will the will-o'-the-wisp politics of the endless frenetic protesting and sloganeering of the SWP bring change? Will Sinn Fein deliver, or are they now treading the well-worn path of electoralism, reducing the working class to mere election cannon-fodder? Will a middle dominated organisation like the Labour Party deliver, wedded as it is to coalition?"

Interesting story which suggests the Pentagon has plans to launch a blizzard of "surgical strikes" Iran. With 1,200 targets I wonder how much collateral damage will be caused? Somehow I see creches being hit more easily than command-centres. Full story at link.

The Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians’ military capability in three days, according to a national security expert.

Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for “pinprick strikes” against Iran’s nuclear facilities. “They’re about taking out the entire Iranian military,” he said. read full story / add a comment

This is a statement from the Iraq Freedom Congress, a Secular Non-Ethnic organisation which campaigns on behalf of ordinary Iraqi people. It opposes both the US Occupation and the Islamist Militias. Here it deals with fighting between two Islamist Militias which is causing untold hardship to the Iraqi people. Full text at link.

Since yesterday, and the militia groups (Sadr and the Islamic Supreme Council) turned many cities of Iraq to battlefields and military barracks; and the atmosphere of terror has dominated the lives and livelihoods of people as if they needed more killings and crimes. This came after fighting erupted between supporters of the two groups in the city of Karbala (95 Km southwest of Baghdad) in a religious event.

In the face of a concerted anti-Arabic and Islamophobic campaign , Yemeni born teacher ,
Debbie Almontaser , has resigned as principal of the Brooklyn based Khalil Gibran International Academy . Almontaser’s earlier failure to “instinctively denounce” a NYC Intifadia T-shirt in terms satisfactory to Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post had resulted in a witch hunt being organized against her and the school she helped found by right-wing Zionists, Christian fundamentalists and Islamophobes . Instead of offering support to the veteran teacher , United Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten ,added her voice to the racist campaign .
