Blowback from South Korea's impeachment
SEOUL - The impeachment of South Korean President Roh Moo- hyun may backfire against the conservative opposition that always resented the outsider, defender of the common man, the fighter for the weak and dispossessed. They had the money and the connections, but they lost the election, and they have been gunning for him ever since. Now Roh is comfortably back in the role of underdog, a part in which he excels. And the opposition may be in for some blowback, as the polls show....

Robert Fisk: The West was warned. Now it is paying the price of the 'war on terror'
The killers are those who kill - and that includes our pilots as well as their bombers. We don't want to kill civilians. But we know that our wars will do that, and death does not come more pleasantly, less painfully, because the victims are killed by the supposedly benevolent West rather than the supposedly cruel East. Now we are beginning to pay the price.
Did it really begin on 11 September 2001? No, it began long before. And no amount of weasel words, no amount of church warden sinceri...

Robert Fisk: One year on - war without end
There was a fearful battle along Highway 1 on the western bank of the Tigris where Saddam's guerrillas fought off an American tank column for 36 hours, the US tanks spraying shellfire down a motorway until every vehicle - military and civilian - was a smouldering wreck. I walked the highway as the last shots were still being fired by snipers, peering into cars packed with the blackened corpses of men, women, children. Carpets and blankets had been thrown over several piles of the dead. In the...

Those White so-called liberals, French and Canadian alike, should know that most informed Africans do not buy their clean hands image in relation to the Iraq war. We know quite well that you 'liberals' are no different from Bush and company, especially when the aggression is directed towards African nations, and other so-called third world countries, e.g. Haiti and Zimbabwe....

Noam Chomsky: The Tragedy of Haiti
"Haiti was more than the New World's second oldest republic," anthropologist Ira Lowenthal observed, "more than even the first black republic of the modern world. Haiti was the first free nation of free men to arise within, and in resistance to, the emerging constellation of Western European empire." The interaction of the New World's two oldest republics for 200 years again illustrates the persistence of basic themes of policy, their institutional roots and cultural conco...
