No Justification" For Civilian Deaths
Venezuela raises its voice with pain and courage and morality ... let the killing of innocents in Afghanistan stop right away," he added, speaking during a lengthy, detailed account of his recent three-week tour of 14 countries. He held the pictures of the dead children, who included a baby, up close to the camera and said: "See this baby, what fault did it have? ... These children can't be blamed, not for terrorism nor for bin Laden, nor for anything like that."
"NO JUSTIFICATION" FOR CIVILIAN DEATHS
Chavez rejected this explanation. "There is no justification of any kind, you can't say it was a mistake. Ah, a mistake. And will they carry on making these mistakes?" Full Article Spanish
The killing of innocents By Amon Hotep
Donald Rumsfeld, the U.S. Secretary of Defense recently said that part of the objectives of the attacks on Afghanistan was to instill fear and cause division. To many of us this has always been the policy of European and American powers even when there were no visible signs of war.
But given the fact that he openly stated these objectives and the fact that their smart bombs could not distinguish between friend and foe, we can clearly state that Afghanistan is under a terrorist attack, with support from the United Nations. Full Article
Why Afghanistan under attack By Bukka Rennie
Let the truth be told! The Caspian Sea is rich in oil and gas deposits. However, these rich reserves are useless until they can be explored and transported economically.
George Monbiot in an article in the Guardian titled "America's pipe dream", argues that the only route that makes political and economic sense is via Afghanistan. In fact Monbiot surmises that "Afghanistan is as indispensable to the regional control and transport of oil and gas in Central Asia as Egypt is to the Middle East." Full Article
White Power and Al Qaeda Unite Against America By James Ridgeway villagevoice.com
WASHINGTON, D.C.—As U.S. intelligence agents strained to pick up conversations among Al Qaeda members gloating over their September 11 success, soldiers in America's racist underground gnashed their teeth over not having carried out the attack on "Jew York" themselves.
"It's a DISGRACE that in a population of at least 150 MILLION White/Aryan Americans, we provide so FEW that are willing to do the same," bemoaned Rocky Suhayda, Nazi Party chairman from Eastpointe, Michigan. "[A] bunch of towel head/sand niggers put our great White Movement to SHAME." Full Article
Chronic Anthrax By Denis Solomon
The United States authorities admit they have no evidence of the source of the anthrax germs being disseminated in that country. They are nevertheless doing their best to avoid public panic by planting the idea of a local origin, for both the germs and their users. Full Article
America's Terrorist Training Camp By George Monbiot
"If any government sponsors the outlaws and killers of innocents," George Bush announced on the day he began bombing Afghanistan, "they have become outlaws and murderers themselves. And they will take that lonely path at their own peril." I'm glad he said "any government", as there's one which, though it has yet to be identified as a sponsor of terrorism, requires his urgent attention.
For the past 55 years it has been running a terrorist training camp, whose victims massively outnumber the people killed by the attack on New York, the embassy bombings and the other atrocities laid, rightly or wrongly, at Al-Qaeda's door. The camp is called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, or WHISC. It is based in Fort Benning, Georgia, and it is funded by Mr Bush's government. Full Article
No Negotiations? By Justin Podur
The Gulf War was called a success because it killed about 100,000 Iraqis to less than 300 Americans, a much more favourable ratio than the 2 million Vietnamese to 50,000 Americans in the Vietnam war. If we want to enforce the Vietnam ratio, we'll have to stop at 240,000 Afghanis in exchange for the 6000 Americans who died on September 11. But even attaining the Gulf ratio, we have to stop killing long before we reach the upper limits of the projections of starvation deaths, at 2 million. The sanctions, however, give us the flexibility we need. If the goal is the ratio of Iraqi deaths from the war and the sanctions combined to the ratio of American deaths, then we have the flexibility we need to wipe out the entire Afghani population.
There was a joke that circulated during Russia's war with Afghanistan that the US was willing to fight Russia 'to the last Afghan'. Perhaps the same applies today. If it doesn't apply to someone you know, please ask them to choose a number of Afghanis they are willing to allow to die, and once that number is reached, ask them to join yourself and those of us who oppose this war.

When The Press Presses For War By Mumia Abu-Jamal
It is often surprising what comes to mind when one thinks of the press. We often think of it as a daily necessity, as our window to the world, as an impersonal, sometimes-faceless acquaintance, which we deal with daily.
We rarely think of the press as a multi-million dollar industry, which, by its very power, wealth and burgeoning influence, has become a virtual branch of government, or, perhaps worse, as a subsidiary to a multibillion-dollar multinational corporation. Full Article
