There is a pronounced movement among the US public toward persuing a more balanced Middle East policy. For example, one half of those polled now indicate that they "sympathize with both Israelis and Palestinians equally."
A position piece on the tactic of tree-spiking.
This is from today's London Guardian. It's pretty humbling to see it all together.
911review.org is intended as a review of all of the current 9/11 topics and research, and is aimed at people who know nothing about what really happened on that fateful day.
The structure of the web site leads you down through overview summaries to detailed reviews of the major topics, and finally it links to an on-line version of the 9/11 Encyclopedia from globalfreepress.com.
CONVENTION (IV) RELATIVE TO THE PROTECTION OF CIVILIAN PERSONS IN TIME OF WAR
Signed at Geneva, 12 August 1949 (  http://fletcher.tufts.edu/multi/texts/BH241.txt)
"...Art. 33. No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited. Pillage is prohibited. Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited..."
The current administration will not continue to enjoy the loyalty of the people it starves.
A series of letters to hometown newspapers, purportedly written by U.S. soldiers in Iraq, contain identical language, according to the Gannett News Service. The letters praise the U.S. effort to rebuild the war-torn Mideast nation.
For all of the blind support that Chavez gets, this announcement is more than a little troubling and suspicious, given the recent events. For a country that is in dire economic situation, this rings phony...
Following on the heels of a massacre earlier this week in the Ituri province town of Katchele, new bloodshed has been discovered in South Kivu province (see www.YellowTimes.org for background report).
Plagued by authoritarian leftists, nearly all critical coverage of WTO activities is founded on a bemoaning of the loss of nation state soveriegnty. While I can think of anti-authoritarian critiques of the WTO until I'm blue in the face, can anyone else find clear examples of the WTO doing something nasty that DOESN'T just provide a picture of a poor benevolent government having it's wonderful dolphin-safe policies overridden? Know what I mean?
Aagh! And I don't want to hear the goddamned word democracy either!
Mayoral elections in Colombia have once again resulted in violence and death.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez urged Latin Americans on Saturday not to celebrate Columbus Day, saying the 1492 discovery of the Americas triggered a 150-year "genocide" of native Indians by foreign conquerors who behaved "worse than Hitler".
"Christopher Columbus was the spearhead of the biggest invasion and genocide ever seen in the history of humanity," the populist president told a meeting in Caracas of representatives of Indian peoples from across the continent. Columbus Day on Oct. 12 is celebrated as a holiday in the United States and several Latin American nations, but Chavez said it should be remembered as the "Day of Indian Resistance."
How the ideology of genocide, with all its internal contradictions, can be found to be expressed in commonly accepted formulations of free market capitalist ideology.
The Kosovo war in the Balkans was peddled as a war against genocide, but this ignores the underlying economic reasons (IMF restructuring) the led to the conflict.
An examination of the ideology of genocide, followed by a discussion of the only logical alternative, Idealistic Moralism, as opposed to the 'pragmatism' embedded in genocidal thinking.
Russia is to start pricing its huge oil and gas exports in euros instead of dollars as part of a strategic shift to forge closer ties with the European Union.
A switch to euro invoicing would not affect the long-term price of oil but it could encourage Middle Eastern exporters to follow suit and have a powerful effect on market psychology at a time when the dollar is already under intense pressure. Russia boasts the world's biggest natural gas reserves and is the number two oil exporter after Saudi Arabia.
Venezuelan intelligence sources have informed VHeadline.com
that a very much heightened state of security alert is being maintained this weekend following multiple indications that a USA-CIA initiative is about to be launched against the government of President Hugo Chavez Frias but that the Venezuelan Armed Forces (FAN) believe they will, nevertheless, be able to contain an eventual threat to Venezuela's constitutional rule.
Up to 1,500 Palestinians have been left homeless by the Israeli army's two-day raid into the Rafah refugee camp, the United Nations estimates.
On October 15th, George Bush will be heading to Fresno to build support for his run for the 2004 election, and to also raise money for the Republican party. As his polls slip, war support goes down, and as troops in the occupied Middle East become more and more restless, we need to hit Bush hard and now. Across the globe the Bush administration is striving to control markets, and the people which make them up.

Imagine the scene: a country is wrenched by violence. Civil war rages between rival factions, supported by forces from various neighboring states. The country abounds in some of the rarest and most valuable resources in the world, resources vital for industrial economies everywhere. Meanwhile, US special forces and mercenaries employed by private military contracting firms like Halliburton, Dyncorp, and MPRI, quietly guard massive, modern, sophisticated industrial operations for the extraction and shipment of these strategic resources, right in the midst of the surrounding turmoil. Is this Iraq a year from now? Try Congo today, according to Keith Harmon Snow. Snow has spent the last four years investigating events in Central Africa, including Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic. He spent seven months on the ground in Central Africa, collecting eyewitness accounts from refugees, and witnessed the activities of US based multinationals in mining and other mineral extraction operations. His conclusion: citizens in the outside world have been fed an elaborately crafted lie concerning events in the Congo and surrounding countries, a lie intended to completely whitewash the role of US and other industrialized countries in deliberately sponsoring and fomenting war, supplying modern weapons and training to armed groups in exchange for privileged, royalty free access to rare minerals vital to industrial economies... But the atrocities are in Africa, and the world is silent...
Bring on the civil war prophesied by the Palestinian Authority and then Israel can come upon some peace. That's the way to peace in the Middle East.
I was reading a article on here and the name Black cross came up.
Appendix to previous Verdict
We call for support of the DPRK and Cuba who are being threatened by US imperialism through escalation of war moves and war rhetoric and threats of economic sanctions.
We call for unconditional support for Syria, the Palestinian intifadah, and the Lebanese Hizbullah who are standing strong against the Zionist enemy of "israel", this instrument of US imperialist penetration and oppression in the Arab homeland.
After 60 years of inattention and even denial by the U.S. media, newly-uncovered government documents in The National Archives and Library of Congress reveal that Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, served as a business partner of and U.S. banking operative for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942, when Congress took aggressive action against Bush and his "enemy national" partners.

IPS Noticias transmite a continuación un boletín sobre la enrarecida situación en Iraq. Esta información está disponible en la cobertura especial de la agencia "Iraq en transición", en
http://ipsnoticias.net/iraq/index.asp.
Dick Cheney charged on Friday that opponents of a U.S. go-it-alone policy on Iraq favored "doing exactly nothing" while the Bush administration was trying to prevent a terror "nightmare..." They must concede... that had their own advice been followed, that regime would rule Iraq today," Cheney said in a speech to the Heritage Foundation think tank. [drunk tank?- who really must be rolling in aisles at this].
You can rest assured that Baghdad has not fallen, that
it never did and never will fall. It will remain the "Abode of Peace" for all time. It has been subjected to a barbarous attack lead by the new Tatars. They have brought so much pain and cruelty that it will continue to shock humanity with their shameful and ignominious nature. But Baghdad will remain beautiful, magnificent, mighty, and proud; in no way discouraging the ardor of its sons and daughters or of the honorable people of the world
The Zionist Jewish colony that calls itself "Israel" is the poisoned fruit of the racist Zionist movement. The Zionist Entity and Zionism in general constitute an integral and crucial part of the globalist onslaught. There can be no rejection of globalism that accepts the Zionist entity, any more than there can be a rejection of globalism that accepts other instances of colonial rule.

The statement called upon the international leftist forces and all the people desirous of freedom to unconditionally support the righteous anti-U.S. resistance of the Korean people and the Arab people and demanded that the U.S. administration promptly stop mud-slinging at the DPRK, sign a non-aggression treaty with the DPRK and withdraw its troops from south Korea.

Resisting the Zionist project/entity in the Arab Homeland is a huge effort of undermining Imperialism.
Jean Ziegler, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, payed an official visit to Palestine in July 2003. This the first time a UN Rapporteur was allowed to investigate the situation in the occupied territories.
Who's behind David Horowitz's agenda of hatred?
The United States speedily established a direct air bridge with Israel during the October War in 1973 with Egypt after the Israeli army had threatened to use nuclear weapons to head off a complete rout by the Egyptian army, Israel's channel eight quoted a former ranking Israeli official as saying.
As the months and the years drag on, and the United States is no closer to bringing order to Afghanistan, desperate measures are being taken in an attempt to breathe some life - and credibility - into its campaign in the region.
Chief United Nations weapons inspector Hans Blix knew it. Former weapons inspector Scott Ritter knew it. French, German and Russian intelligence knew it. Sultan Hashim Ahmad - Iraq's former minister of defense, now safe after a cozy deal with the Americans - knew it. In 1995, Hussein Kamel, married to one of Saddam Hussein's daughters and the man in charge of it all, knew it. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley and the MI6 in London knew it. Saddam's regime was not lying when it claimed that it had destroyed all its WMD after the 1991 Gulf War. Whatever the spin, the fact of the matter is that now there's conclusive proof that both US President George W Bush and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair lied about the reason for invading Iraq.

Its been said that one Israeli life is worth 1,000 palestinians, and certainly one Israeli life is worth 10,000 British lives,
But what is a USA life worth in terms of Israelis??
A pesticide residue found in the entire range of soft drinks has once again put focus on the Cola giants - Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola. However, while government labs in Kerala and Rajasthan are giving the Cola companies a clean bill of health because no pesticides were found, soft drinks are hazardous even without pesticides... Plants for making corn syrup have started to be set up in India, and if strict regulations are not put in place, the Indian diet could go the way of the US diet, with high fructose corn syrup causing insulin resistance.
Balance and Inquiry
Tony Blair's former Foreign Minister, Robin Cook, published his diaries from the period immediately before the Iraq invaision. In them he says that Tony Blair knew full well that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. Excerpts from The Times of London.
Previously, US officials said that all Iraqi army's arms depots have been secured. Well, a leak (and some film) from Baghdad reveal otherwise. There are not enough US soldiers in Iraq to guard all of the guns, bombs and ammunition that are laying about. Bad place for an occupation.
