Today we witness the international media reporting on the fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. Few of the journalists have ever served in the military and few of them can understand the overwhelming fear, terror and daily brutality that turns men into merciless killers. In our nice sanitised view of war, soldier kill other soldiers and do not gun down prisoners with their hands up. The intensely savage battle for Fallujah, an American soldier was filmed shooting an apparently unarmed and wounded insurgent. In Haditha, a squad of American soldiers ran amok and cut down men women and children with automatic weapons and grenades. Such behaviour is nothing new in war. ... read full story / add a comment

All is not as it appears at surface level. Iran condemns Israel as Zionist butchers but at the same time sells oil to Israel. Oil which fuels the tanks and jets that slaughter the Palestinians and Lebanese. Full story of the Iranian Regimes treacherey at the link. If you've ever wondered about the definition of hypocrisy you'll find the answer right here. Last month the Swiss signed a multi-billion euro contract for Iran to supply Switzerland with natural gas over the next 25 years. The US State Department condemned the deal and said it would be investigating whether it breached the Iran Sanctions Act. Israel complained too, describing the Swiss minister's visit to Tehran as an "act unfriendly to Israel".On March 30, the Swiss newspaper Sonntag retaliated with the revelation that Israel, supposedly observing an ironclad boycott of all things Iranian, has been buying Iranian oil for years. ... read full story / add a comment
