Haiti's Troika of Terror The United States has delivered George Bush's ghoulish brand of democracy to Haiti.

Haiti's army turns back the clock It didn't take long for the new order in Haiti to reveal itself. The day after President Aristide 'left' for exile, 34 union members at the Ouanaminthe garment assembly factory run by the Dominican Grupo M company, were fired. The next morning, when the 600-strong workforce decided to strike, a group of armed men launched a violent attack. Some unionists were handcuffed, many others were beaten up, and the workers were forced back inside the factory....

Protesting the Crimes of "Passion" When we arrived there were already half a dozen groups of Christians preaching and "sidewalk counseling." A few of us began agitating--calling out the plunder that has been carried out in the name of Jesus: all the peoples that have been colonized, exterminated, or enslaved by conquerors who carried a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other......

John Pilger: The Unmentionable Source of Terrorism The source of much of this danger is Israel...the Zionist state remains the cause of more regional grievance and sheer terror than all the Muslim states combined. Read the melancholy Palestinian Monitor on the Internet; it chronicles the equivalent of Madrid's horror week after week, month after month, in occupied Palestine. No front pages in the West acknowledge this enduring bloodbath, let alone mourn its victims. Moreover, the Israeli army, a terrorist organisation by any reasonable measur...

They want ther're country back now! W. Va. Sen. on Iraq war: 'My Vote Was Wrong'
Better late than never. U.S. Senator regrets vote for war. Let’s use the turning tides to defeat the neocons once and for all. In Iraq alone they are directly responsible for the deaths of at least 40,000 human beings ( the figure before includes between 25-30,000 Iraqi soldiers needlessly killed in addition to civilians who are still dying) since the beginning of this unprovoked, illegal war. Stopping them in Iraq may encourage a rethinkin...
