And of course the neo-cons, who have never forgiven the UN for Resolutions 242 and 338,(bad for Israel) told Bush that he should tell the UN to take its charter and shove it. Bush, who appreciates simple words and simple thoughts, took their advice, and last Sunday night had it served up to him by his speechwriters as crow, which he methodically ate in his 18-minute speech, saying the UN has an important role in Iraq....

In his latest New Statesman column, John Pilger describes viewing videotape of the attack on Iraq that was not shown in the West and is horrific evidence of a great crime. It begs the question: Why is there not a public inquiry into when the invasion was planned, and why? Why can't we read the email traffic between Bush and Blair? And why is Iraq's epic suffering invisible?...

Dave Kersting answers the arguments of a typical Zionist. It becomes clear in this analysis that Zionists rely on racist tricks and assumptions in order to justify what they have done and what they continue to do (e.g. the most racist assumption is that somehow "the Arabs" -- a collective group rather than individuals -- are just inherently anti-Semitic and their violence towards Zionists has nothing at all to do with what Zionists did to them or had planned for their homeland of P...

Security Council resolution with respect to Israel/Palestine, even one imposing sanctions on either or both of the parties to the conflict. Having never been an "honest broker," the United States would at least become an ...

Who could ever have conceived of an American president calling the world to arms against "terrorism" in "Afghanistan, Iraq and Gaza"? Gaza? What do the miserable, crushed, cruelly imprisoned Palestinians of Gaza have to do with the international crimes against humanity...Nothing, of course. Neither does Iraq have anything to do with 11 September. Nor were there any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, any al-Qa'ida links with Iraq, any 45-minute timeline for the deployment...

An American commentator, Rosie DiManno, wrote this week that in Iraq "There's also the other cost, the one measured in human lives... one American a day slain since Bush declared the major fighting over." Note here how the blood of Iraqis - whom we were so desperate to liberate six months ago - has disappeared from the narrative. Up to 20 innocent Iraqi civilians a day are now believed to be dying - in murders, revenge killings, at US checkpoints - and yet they no longer count. No w...
