Jalal Talabani and Massoud Barzani have sold out the Kurdish people. By welcoming Jay Garner into Southern Kurdistan they have welcomed in the very force that will prevent the creation of a Kurdish state. Friendship with the US has no reward, the US will sacrifice yesterdays allies for its shifting goals; the US promised Afghanistan the world and left it with little, dont let the same happen with the Kurds....

Fifty-two killed and 63 injured by landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO); these are the devastating statistics in just one week coming from the main hospital in Kirkuk, northern Iraq. The real figures will be much higher as many victims, if they are found in time, and many aren't, will be taken to other hospitals in the city with their own horrific figures. More devastating is that most of the deaths and injuries are caused to children....

From the start to the end of the war in Iraq there has been an affecting simplicity, verging on naivety, about much of what President Bush has had to say. All those opinions, ventured so confidently, are now about to be tested in ways of which Mr Bush and his administration may never even have dreamt. For several thousand in Baghdad – far more than have ever turned out to applaud US troops – that meant protesting against the US "occupation".
Many, many other Iraqis are channellin...

Ahmed Chalabi, the man the Pentagon has been pushing as the face of the new Iraq, is mourning the first fatalities within his ranks.
Two members of Mr Chalabi's pro-US Iraqi National Congress (INC) and one member of his militia, the Free Iraqi Forces, were shot dead by US Marines trying to protect a bank in Baghdad....

The reactionary Washington institutions that spawned Wolfowitz, Perle, Abrams and Feith provide an unhealthy intellectual and moral atmosphere. Charting a strategic course for the most lavishly endowed military establishment in history is left to ideologically based pressure groups (eg fundamentalist Christian leaders), wealthy private foundations and lobbies like AIPAC, the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee. The US programme for the Arab world has become the same as Israel's. Along wi...

Lockheed Martin is the World's Largest Weapons Manufacturer. They use OUR tax dollars to create the weapons of mass violence that killed nearly two thousand Iraqi Civilians within the last month. This is Direct, non-violent action.

A vast army of Iraqi Shia Muslims are marching in a traditional annual pilgrimage that was banned under Saddam Hussein. Though primarily a religious event, the mass march – which will continue today – is a de facto show of strength by Iraq's Shia majority, ruthlessly suppressed under Saddam, and now eager to lay down their marker in the political vacuum of the chaotic and dangerous post-Saddam days. It could equally prove to be the start of an overwhelming problem for Washington and London as...

Hollywood is often depicted in the US media as a hotbed of anti-government dissent and left-wing politics but that is not how it feels to Ed Gernon............The clearly emerging pattern is that entertainment personalities who speak out on touchy political subjects – particularly Iraq – do so at their peril....

What constitutes a bloodbath to the BBC's man in Downing Street? Did the murder of the 3,000 people in New York's Twin Towers qualify? If his answer is yes, then the thousands killed in Iraq during the past month is a bloodbath. One report says that more than 3,000 Iraqis were killed within 24 hours or less. Or are the vindicators saying that the lives of one set of human beings have less value than those recognisable to us? Devaluation of human life has always been essential to the pursuit o...

Christians in Egypt and across the Arab world will not celebrate Easter this and next week to show their heartfelt solidarity and sympathy with the Iraqi people, a spokesman for the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) said Saturday, April 19. "In the name of the Egyptian church and other Eastern and Arab churches; and in solidarity with the current distress of Arabs after the U.S. occupation of Iraq; and in view of the deplorable conditions of the Iraqi people, churches will not celeb...

Ms Mahon said she would be calling for the United Nations, and not the US, to send inspectors to Iraq. "There is cynicism about the US," she said, "and a number of people have said this to me: they will find them [WMDs] because they will take their own in there with them. That was the reason we went to war, so let's get it verified."...
