In Iraq amid chaos, sectarianism, a rise in tribalism, and the enslavement of women, one can think of a constitution which is being written only as a document - or some how an agreement between the political players in Iraq. The constitution is only a clear indication of power sharing, pleasing each party's desire to practice their policies, and practices outlined by law. When reading the constitution, from the preambles to the end, I thought it is just written in a patriarchal, religious and tribal language, and this is the political mixture of the parties we have in power in the so called “parliament”. It does not represent anything to do with Iraqi people, and their aspiration for freedom and equality. ... read full story / add a comment

If you were a feminist activist in Iran today, you would be under the constant threat of arrest for a simple action: asking for equal rights. On Sunday, March 4, 34 women’s rights activists were arrested for silently gathering outside Tehran’s Revolutionary Court to protest the prosecution of four women on trial that morning. The four women’s rights leaders are facing multiple charges including “acting against national security” for organizing a protest for women’s equality in Tehran in 2006. ... read full story / add a comment

by Jack Lane Irish Political Review April 2007 Peter Hart's latest effort to defend his thesis on the Irish War of Independence took the form of a review of John Borgonovo's book "Spies, informers and the 'Anti-Sinn Fein Society': the intelligence war in Cork City 1920-1921" in History Ireland, March-April 2007. In case readers need reminding Hart's thesis is that "…. the Dail had no legal standing and was never recognised by any foreign government. Nor did the IRA, as a guerrilla force acting without uniforms and depending on their civilian status for secrecy, meet the requirements of international law. The British government was therefore within its rights to give courts-martial the power to order executions." (Irish Times, 23 June 1998) ... read full story / add a comment

They are still a bit too fjordish without the sides for my liking. And in this way I am very Irish, we have never settled much below a certain latitude. There's a bunch of welsh cymru speakers in patagonia who never got a silly flag from London and are for all said respected members of the very diverse Argentinian people. So the Malvinas aren't your fault (if you're Irish) and they're not the Argentinians fault. But the blame thing won't bring back the dead. ... read full story / add a comment |
