The war on Iraq was illegal, fraudulent and has killed many tens of thousands of innocent people, and making this war is very probably a war crime. But the Americans commit war crimes every day in Iraq. One such war crime was the Haifa Street massacre, which occurred last week and which was televised. Jonathan Steele has courageously written a clear and insightful analysis of this massacre in today's edition of The Guardian. This posting examines Steele's position and asks why criticism of American war crimes in Iraq is so rare. ... read full story / add a comment

The end of the Civil Service pay dispute has been a bitter pill for NIPSA members to swallow. NIPSA members have fought the governments for eight months firmly believing that our campaign was about fundamental issues. As the dispute developed that view was confirmed. This dispute has been a struggle for the right to be properly recognised as a trade union including the right to negotiate on behalf of members, it was a struggle for the end of low pay in the Civil Service and it was the a struggle to end pay inequality. Unfortunately in the final settlement none of these issues was properly addressed. ... read full story / add a comment

It is strange that while it is often said that the purchase of a house is the biggest decision which most people have to make, newspapers make no claims that property reviews are objective. Nevertheless, they are presented under journalists' bylines, sometimes following a site visit, but the resultant copy does not differ from what an estate agent would produce. ... read full story / add a comment

In order to evolve from our current , stagnant state as human beings; to progress to a higher level of understanding and purpose; to realise radical cultural change and evolution...and to alleviate conflict around the world; we must stop competing against each other for energy. This can only be achieved if we learn how to fill ourselves with energy from sources other than each other. ... read full story / add a comment

In 1974, Spain, Portugal and Greece were run by dictatorships and together with the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, democracy in Europe was an endangered specie. By joining the EU, countries have strenghthened their democratic structures and the same opportunity is available to Turkey. In recent times, the human rights situation has improved and the repression of the culture of the minority Kurdish population has been eased. ... read full story / add a comment

People of Dún Laoghaire Boycott Boyd-Barrett Protest Following the massive failure of Richard Boyd Barrett’s “Save Our Sea Front” protest to attract the support of the people of Dún Laoghaire on Sunday, it is now clear that the group holds little or no mandate to speak on the topic. Barrett & the SWP have consistently claimed they have the support of the majority of locals in the area – yet just a little over 150 people out of a possible 50,000 residents in the Dún Laoghaire Ward turned up to support the protest. I hope all the local Councillors Bailey, Devlin, Mitchell-O'Connor, Regan, Ireland & Dillon-Byrne will now stand-up to this fascist - bullyboy and move ahead with a second competition to develop the Dún Laoghaire Baths Site in partnership with the community so as to create a sustainable development that benefits the Town and the wider business community. ... read full story / add a comment
