The Irish Anti-War Movement is holding a demonstration this Saturday, December 6th, at which protesters will 'blockade' Shannon Airport, the civilian airport in the west of Ireland where approximately half the US troops en route to Iraq and Afghanistan have stopped to rest and refuel. (See www.irishantiwar.org) The following opinion piece was commissioned by The Irish Times for use this week, then rejected by an editor who said his initial "hasty acceptance" had failed to recognise that the paper should not be "associated with and assist in mobilising for a call to break the law a step too far!" ... read full story / add a comment

In the last six months nationlist partys in Europe have contested many elections and have surprised many international commentators by their increased share of both left and right wing votes.

They seek to find "local" solutions to problems first formulated in the 19th century which in many ways have now been superceded. This is in many ways natural, but it also poses a series of questions. The most important of which may be:

The BB2 programme currently screening is a tired rehash, reinforcement of the Warren Commission's findings. The programme promised to use up to date computer graphics to analyse the Zepruder film in depth, but failed to show or explain the Zepruder film in its entirety. Failing to explain the moment the president's head is hit from in front, causing a massive exit wound at the back of the Presidents' head, which effectively blows off the back of the president's scalp. ... read full story / add a comment
