"No one now disputes that stopping Slobodan Milosevic was the right thing to do,” wrote the Wall Street Journal this week, several days after the deposed Serbian strongman expired in his cell in the Hague. It’s an appealing sentiment, suggesting as it does that the man who presided over the deaths of 250,000 people in Yugoslavia in the 1990s died unsung and unmourned. In reality, however, even Slobodan Milosevic had his defenders. What is more, they are the same voices--largely on the far Left but also on the isolationist Right--who have now taken up the cause of Saddam Hussein. ... read full story / add a comment

A tongue in cheek piece that explores many paradoxical ideas associated with the theory of evolution. - That evolves into a discourse into a series of primal theological questions that still remain unanswered. Might be interesting reading for anyone into evolutionary debate and for anyone with pre-conceived notions about their right to define creation superceding the rights of others. This is my first submission from what will be my second Indybook. It is the fourth chapter - but stands on its own merits. It becomes my first submission simply because I think it's relevant to many religious and secularist debates currently raging on Indy. ... read full story / add a comment

While Greek government blamed seamen for paralyzing the country’s transport network due to their strike action last month, and forced them back to work by means of “civil mobilization”, some island residents that were supposed to be harmed by the strike, actually stood on the sailor’s side and supported their demands. A short translated text follows, explaining why. ... read full story / add a comment

The case against the state challenging the constitutionality of the amended National monuments act 1930-2004 has been deffered for the third time. The date for judgement of this important case had been variously given, the last one was Feb 16th, the day of the launch of the Planning and Development Bill 2006,(The Strategic Infrastructure Bill)I am not a lawyer, and have not studied the details of the Carrickmines case too closely, but the locus of the case was based on the signing of the joint consent order to destroy the castle remains at Carrickmines and to remove sections of the revetted fosse. Ministerial consents for destruction of a national monument could occur after 21 days sitting of the Oireachtas, which in real terms gave the minister his unreviewable discretionary powers.The judgement was listed for tomorrow but is now deffered, it will have a direct repurcussion on the situation at the Tara Complex and other heritage sites in Ireland. No reason has been given for the deferral. The case has been put back for mention for Thursday the 9th of March. ... read full story / add a comment

It is astonisihing that only Susan McKay has raised the question of the bona fides of FAIR in a substantive manner. It is not as though the information is hard to come by. For instance: FAIR demonstrated outside Stormont about the early release of Republican prisoners. When asked by David Dunseath of the BBC about the early release of loyalist prisoners Frazer replied “They should never have been locked up in the first place” ... read full story / add a comment
