A group of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) are planning to start up a GI coffeehouse near the entrance of the Fort Lewis military base in Washington State.

“Where pride once mobilised, it now marshals that consensus as our anger and frustration into a range of diversionary shopping opportunities. The battle is no longer about(if it ever has been) equality and acceptance, but liberation and simply survival as human beings against a system galloping towards the abyss.” read full story / add a comment

Ben Lewis argues that the threat to Iran from Imperialism is still very real. He also analyses developments within various anti-war groups. Full story at link. Within the context of Barack Obama attempting to prove himself a reliable statesman by dropping in on occupying forces in Iraq, and with Gordon Brown’s speech to the knesset underlining his readiness to “stand firmly by Israel’s side” and call for “further sanctions and isolation” if Iran does not halt its alleged nuclear weapons programme, it is quite clear that the Geneva talks have not reduced the threat of a military strike.
