Isolated from the Human Community: Israel Builds Another Wall 
...Zionists today relentlessly accuse these Western publics of anti-Semitism, of singling them out because they are Jews. For too long, the Zionists have acted with impunity against the Palestinians, because they have succeeded in using the Holocaust to shield themselves against the censure of Western publics. That makes the Occupation a perfect crime, without any perpetrators. Better yet: the perpetrators became the primary victims of those they victimize....

Security in Iraq--But How? This crisis was predictable, and its source was the aggression and occupation of Iraq by the United States. The solution is the quick end to the occupation, the installation of a government comprising all elements of the Iraqi people and the cooperation of the international community to bring stability and reconstruction.
– Iranian President Mohammad Khatami...

Betraying Iraqi Women Remember when the Bush administration told us that American soldiers would be greeted as liberators? How about when we were told that the war would free Iraqi women? We know that the citizens throwing flowers never materialized, and now it turns out that helping Iraqi women was just a PR line too. Women in Iraq still face poverty, fear of imprisonment, rape and repressive laws. Only now, the United States is in charge of it all....

Israel, Iran and the IAEA: Nuclear Ambiguity or Hypocrisy? Last week, Mohamad ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), paid a visit to Israel.

Afghanistan at the mercy of U.S.-backed warlords Afghanistan’s coming elections are in jeopardy, and not just because of a revived Taliban. The warlord armies that Washington used to oust the Taliban in 2001 now pose an even greater danger, as Afghanistan’s president, Hamid Karzai, made plain this week to Carlotta Gall and David Rohde of The Times. President Bush is largely responsible for this situation, having first decided to fight the war against the Taliban on the cheap and then leaving the job of nation-building undone while he divert...
