CERTIFIED WHACKOS: HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL: 17-29% OF ALL AMERICANS ARE OFF THEIR NUT
A study by Harvard Medical School has determined that between 17% and 29% of the American population is in need of snake pits.

Despite differences in treatment, researchers found remarkably similar high proportions of the population with mental disorders (17 to 29 percent), early age of onset (mostly in childhood through the early adult years), high rates of chronic mental illness, and hig...

Caoimhe Butterly: Iraqis fear for their future from a US government they don't trust
"Oil is our curse. It brought us nothing but tragedy under Saddam. It will bring us nothing under the Americans. They should not have subjected us to another war. By destroying a people’s heritage, you destroy their past and future. We have been made, to them, a people without a past. Our records and archives are destroyed, burnt in the ministries. We become a people without names, no records to say we exist. We are the oldest civilisation, but we are presented to the world as terrorists...

Interview with Greta Duisenberg on her pro-Palestinian stance and charges of anti-Semitism
We aimed to address the Western proclivity to address the symptoms, but not the cause of the problems in area. We also aimed to address misconceptions like the commonly heard refrain: "stop the violence on both sides and go back to the negotiation table." Given the context of the conflict this would mean that the Palestinians would have to negotiate their freedom with their occupier. Whoever enters this debate about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict runs into all sorts of political t...

Whatever happened to the Golan Heights?
The Israelis overran the Golan Heights and Quneitra in 1967, but after the Yom Kippur war in 1973 they agreed to vacate Quneitra and to withdraw a short distance. Before they departed - in a gratuitous act of defiance – the town was razed to the ground. The town used to house a population of forty thousand people. When the occupation ended, not a roof remained intact, not a wall was left standing...the only structures more than a few metres high were the graffiti covered, bullet riddled ruins...
