The pretense of this war was to disarm Iraq of weapons of massive destruction (WMD), although recent emphasis has shifted to "liberating" the Iraqi people from an alleged oppressive regime. At the end of the war, the US still needs to produce indisputable evidence of Iraqi WMD to justify a war that was not sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council. Overwhelming force is count...

Clean Break or Dirty War? Israel’s Foreign Policy Directive to the United States
Great changes are seldom achieved without a plan. The Israeli policy paper “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm” (ACB) was authored by a group of policy advisors to Israel.

Many of the ACB policies such as toppling the government of Iraq are now in full implementation and present new challenges to the global community. Others, such ...

Thuraya's Diary: IT'S HARD TO WELCOME US TROOPS
IN the fourth week of her diary Thuraya El-Kaissi, 17, tells of the fall of Baghdad and the end of Saddam Hussein's reign of terror. For the schoolgirl and her family it is a time for mixed feelings, relief that the war may be over, relief at Saddam's demise - and a very real fear for their future amid the anarchy, the looting - and the Americans.Sunday...

ANTICHRIST WAS WARNED WEEKS AGO ABOUT POSSIBLE LOOTING AT BAGHDAD MUSEUM
For weeks before the war, archaeologists and other scholars had alerted military planners to the risks of combat, particularly postwar pillage of the country's antiquities. These include 10,000 sites of ruins with such resonating names as Babylon, Nineveh, Nimrud and Ur. Experts reminded the Defense Department that after the Persian Gulf war of 1991, 9 of Iraq's 13 regional museums were plundered....

After successfully evacuating him, he was about to leave when he noticed two small girls down in front of the roadblock, right in the line of fire.

Michael Neumann: Address security concerns by switching sides in the Israel/Arab conflict
Only one fundamental shift in US policy can both undo the damage being done, and rapidly address America's security concerns. Proposing this shift is the only way the left can address the real concerns of the American people. The left needs to demand, as it should have demanded a long time ago, that the US switch sides in the Israel/Palestine conflict.
