Iraq is an artificially created state, formed by the British from three Ottoman provinces after World War I. During the long period when the US supported Saddam, a favored rationale was that it took such leadership as his to hold the country together. As with Yugoslavia, now that the strongman is gone, the potential for civil war has risen, floating as an abhorrent specter above the nation's future.
One aspect of the Bush administration's response has been in essence to deny the latent factional forces that the war surfaced, concurrently working to legitimize the war itself via accusations against non-Iraqi "terror groups". Another has been simultaneously pursuing the creation of the necessary Iraqi political and security apparatus to best ensure the administration's agenda. But even with the present US-chosen Iraqi leadership, key features of the US-sponsored November plan for Iraqi sovereignty have gone awry.

We are showing people how to stand up and be counted even when it is not easy to do so. We are the reflection Pool."

I have been reading Portland Indymedia on a daily basis for several months b/c I am moving up there in May and wanted to get a pulse on local issues from a non-corporate perspective. I was planning on volunteering my time at a local co-op, possibly a local farm, and maybe Indymedia; however, the more I read this site, the less I feel that I would be welcome. Why? Because I am middle class and it seems that there is a lot of anger aimed at the middle-class on this website.

Oregon Marriage License Laws & Requirements Getting Married in Oregon State
![]() After the story broke last night, same-sex couples and people in solidarity with them got in line for marriage licenses. A line started forming as early as 10pm last night...the licenses were to issued starting at 10 am this morning. Traditionally there is a three day waiting period between the marriage license being issued and the marriage being preformed. That waiting period has been set aside right now. Same-sex weddings have already been performed, some right outside of the Multnomah County Building. one attendee writes: When I was there, (9:30am-10:30am) people were lined up around 3 sides of the 1-block County building to get there $60 marriage licenses. I've been to a few great weddings in my day, but this was the coolest celebration of love and commitment I have ever seen. Despite the steady rain, the mood was festive. Lots of people were coming by with flowers, donuts, coffee, umbrellas. The crowd cheered as couple after after couple came out of the building with their license in hand. A smal handful of bigots screamed obscenities about being condemned to Hell, spreading AIDS, the sanctity of their version of marriage, but people mostly ignored them. A group of younger folks started laughing at them and chanting. WE ARE THE REFLECTION POOL: a report from the marriage license line related: [ Why A Defense Of Marriage Act In Oregon Is Bad | A Brief History of Marriage in America | City Commissioner Stances On Gay Marriage | Lambda Project | Gay Marriages Legal | Shouldn't the Multnomah County Marriage Party Be a Feature? ]

A former US national security adviser who served in the administration of the first president Bush, warned today that the war in Iraq threatens to grind on for years like the Vietnam conflict.
"It could become a Vietnam in a way that the Vietnam war never did," Brent Scowcroft said in an interview published in Portuguese weekly newspaper Expresso.

In a televised speech to the nation, Chavez said "If Mr. Bush is possessed with the madness of trying to blockade Venezuela, or worse for them, to invade Venezuela in response to the desperate song of his lackeys ... sadly not a drop of petroleum will come to them from Venezuela."

![]() In an interview with the Guardian, Mr Kay said the administration's reluctance to make that admission was delaying essential reforms of US intelligence agencies, and further undermining its credibility at home and abroad.
It does not require total cynicism to point out that at most, at best, John Kerry's beef with the Bush administration over foreign policy -- to the extent that he really has any -- is a very minor difference of opinion between technocrats, Kerry offering a few tiny adjustments, a tweaking here or there. Most of his policy suggestions concerned things already being done by the Bush administration.
