This article was first posted on www.indymedia.org by W. Clark ([email protected]) Although completely suppressed in the U.S. media, the answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet shocking - it an an oil CURRENCY war. The Real Reason for this upcoming war is this administration's goal of preventing further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard. However, in order to pre-empt OPEC, they need to gain geo-strategic control of Iraq along with its 2nd largest proven oil reserves. read full story / add a comment

A father says concerns over terrorism prompted him to alert authorities after opening a box of valentines that he bought for his daughter; now authorities are crediting his vigilance. Nicholas Poillucci says he was shocked when the box of valentines he bought for his three-year-old daughter contained the word "Jihad" -- a word commonly known to Americans as the Muslim word for 'holy war' -- followed by the message, "It's time to be mine." Concerned that the message might contain a hidden terrorist message, Poillucci called authorities. Officials are crediting Poillucci for demonstrating the awareness all Americans should have in the wake of September 11th. http://kdka.com/local/local_story_041181845.html read full story / add a comment

230 people attended Monday night's public meeting organised by the Galway Alliance Against War. The media presence, both local and national, was substantial. War is not inevitable, was the clear message from platform speakers, Denis Halliday and Michael D. Higgins. If enough of us rally on 15 February, the warmongers may yet be stopped. People were eager to go on the Dublin, to assist with banner-making, and to get involved in other ways. Buses have now been booked by a number of groups: GAAW itself, Galway Students Against War, Galway Trade Unionists Against War, Conamara in Aghaidh an Chogaidh, Galway Labour Party, and Galway Sinn Fein read full story / add a comment
