Over a million dead Iraqis, several thousand US soldiers killed in action, several thousands more soldiers dead by suicide, an even great number of soldiers maimed and disabled. All those lives for non existent weapons of mass destruction and a false allegation of links between Iraq and Al Qaeda - yet George Bush thinks it is funny. read full story / add a comment

The Irish media coverage of the fire which killed nine people of Turkish origin in the German city Ludwigshafen last weekend focused mostly on the image of a baby thrown from a window to be caught by a heroic firefighter . The Turkish media has however concentrated on the possible involvement of xenophobic and Islamophobic elements in starting the blaze. The Turkish ambassador to Germany said it was strange that German politicians had ruled out such involvement before police had established the cause. Turkish State Minister Mustafa Said Yazicioglu met German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble in Ankara on Monday to ask for a full investigation saying : “Islamophobia spread because several incidents after September 11th attacks were exaggerated thus racist incidents emerged, and all these brought an unpleasant situation for Turks in Germany.” read full story / add a comment
