One of the questions that has been tossed around of late is; Why aren't these rallies as effective as the ones during the 'Sixties Anti-War Movement'. As I watched the rally, it didn't take long for me to see what the problem was; 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

Mr Begg, 35, who is originally from Birmingham, was grabbed in Pakistan in February 2002, bundled into a car boot and taken to Afghanistan. He is being held at Bagram airbase outside Kabul where the CIA allegedly uses sleep deprivation to break resistance. Some captives are placed in metal containers and the US has banned any independent inspection of the base. Privately, US officials have reportedly admitted to "stress and duress" techniques. read full story / add a comment

THe majority of Irish born living are to be found in the north eastern part of the USA. They almost all live within two hours of NYC. Between now and Saturday 15th February it would be most useful if Irish people living in Ireland or Europe would contact their cousins and friends in the USA. read full story / add a comment

The disgusting nudist protesters against the war in Central Park are a warning about the lengths that these dangerous people will go to in order to weaken and attack the USA. This ranks together with the outrageous decision by France and Germany to withold military support to the USA and Britain and Turkey and our Eastern European NATO allies, and is a blatant attempt to sabotage the war effort. read full story / add a comment

Former UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq Denis Halliday is travelling around Ireland speaking at Anti-War meetings at present. If you get the opportunity go see him. He is inspiring and a great public speaker and source of information on the situation in Iraq at present. I transcribed this poem from my videotape of his talk in Clontarf last week. He wrote it last week on the train from Galway to Dublin. Audience hooted and hollered over the RTE reference. Big crowd at the meeting too. read full story / add a comment

Capitalism, patriarchy, racism, and corporate globalization are vile enough, but every so often -- and of course the mid century Nazis were a prime example -- something even worse tries to emerge out of still deeper layers of hell, and occasionally it does. And such a scourge of evil seems perhaps to be seeking entry into our world now, all the way from the seventh circle, or further. read full story / add a comment

MONTREAL - War in Iraq would have devastating effects on the country's 13 million children, many of whom are already malnourished and living in ''great fear'' of another conflict, says the report of a Canadian-led, fact-finding team released Thursday. The document, based on a trip to Iraq Jan. 20-26 by 10 health experts, concludes that, ''Iraqi children are at grave risk of starvation, disease, death and psychological trauma''. They ''are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of a new war than they were before the Gulf War of 1991'' but ''the international community has at present little capacity to respond to the harm that children will suffer by a new war in Iraq'', it adds. read full story / add a comment
