Day 29: A crusade after all
Posted: Thursday, April 17, 2003

A crusade after all?
We told you so...

Why Syria is America's new target
America's sudden onslaught against Syria has taken the world by surprise. The White House is said to have blocked the Pentagon's preliminary planning for a military assault on the country, and earlier this week the prime minister assured the House of Commons that there were "no plans for an attack on Syria" - language eerily reminiscent of that used about Iraq last autumn. Something must lie behind all this.

After The Fall
The 'Liberation Honeymoon' Is Over

For the people on the streets,
this is not liberation but a new colonial oppression

War appealed to Americans' fear

Pressure to find weapons mounts
A month after the outbreak of war, arms control specialists and former United Nations weapons inspectors are increasingly critical of the Bush administration for its failure to substantiate prewar claims of a hidden weapons arsenal, the principal argument for going to war against Saddam Hussein.

US admits Mosul killings
A US commander has admitted that American troops did shoot and kill a number of Iraqis during a protest in the northern city of Mosul.

US said to 'care more about Iraqi oil than its people'

Iraq Oil ministry the most secured building

For the people on the streets, this is not liberation
America's war of 'liberation' may be over. But Iraq's war of liberation from the Americans is just about to begin

Iraqis only count if they're dancing in the street
The fall of the statue was probably rehearsed, with a director screaming, 'Come on extras, let's see you dance'

Has Iraqi Information Minister committed suicide?

¤ America would enter Syria to snatch Saddam
¤ Israel wants strike on Syria while iron's hot
¤ Syria backs anti-WMD resolution in U.N.
¤ Powell plans Damascus trip

You can't force democracy
U.S. 'victory' in Iraq has produced feelings more anti-American than pro-democratic, says PAUL ADAMS
