"History is a nightmare from which I am trying to wake." - Stephen Daedalus, in Ulysses, James Joyce 1922 Oaxaca City, Mexico, May 15 - Midnight in Oaxaca, and walking around the historic center, it's almost as if nothing had ever happened here. The bourgeoisie sit around under the colonial arches in the long stretch of French-style outdoor cafes lining the central plaza. Aside from being beset by a small army of ambulant trinket vendors and beggars, the well-heeled citizens sipping cappuccinos seem very at ease with the world. A few late night tourists wander about the pleasant old streets under the starry sky, and the industrious hum of the sultry cosmopolitan city invokes an eternal calm. ... read full story / add a comment

Opponents of the Lisbon Treaty claim that Ireland will become part of a Pan-European Army. However their hysteria betrays a profound ignorance of our military weaknesses and indeed the military weakness of the European armies even the big three, German, France and the United Kingdom. None of the European armies shows any likelihood of being able to overcome nationalistic rivalries, duplication of resources, linguistic difficulties and a plethora of different weapons systems that would make a Pan-European army exist anywhere except in the fantasies of Brussels bureacrats even if a common defence treaty is made official. ... read full story / add a comment

On April 29th, when the Strategic Review Body on Parading formally launched its consultative report, two residents’ groups - the Lower Ormeau Concerned Community in Belfast and the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition in Portadown – whose communities were at the very heart of the turmoil and conflict over contentious marches in the 1990’s jointly set out their views and concerns in a full page article in “The Irish News”, the main nationalist daily paper in the North. Since then, the two residents' groups have been spuriously accused by some within Sinn Fein of working to "an agenda" - although no-one who makes that accusation is prepared to state what that agenda is. Given that parades are officially listed as one of the items to be “resolved” at the Downing Street talks between Peter Robinson, Martin McGuinness and Gordon Brown, its worth recalling the position of the two residents’ groups and establishing if others, and not the residents, are working to "an agenda".. ... read full story / add a comment

This was in response to a request in the previous issue of the magazine for members to write letters for publication. This is the story of what happened.... ... read full story / add a comment |
