Sanctions are lifted but
on the streets few are celebrating
The Fictional War On Terrorism
Ship me off to Guantanamo
History indicates our Founding Fathers predominantly intended to represent the interests of business and the land's wealthiest individuals, not those of average people. They chose much of their lofty language in order to attract more soldiers from the poorer classes for the revolution. They designed our government to exclude Native Americans, slaves, non-landowners, and women from voting and other rights.

The UN resolution that ended 12-year-old sanctions against Iraq is the beginning of the concerns and fears for many other countries in the Middle East and around the world.
Expert questions authenticity of al-Qaeda tape
A Danish terrorism expert on Thursday questioned the authenticity of a taped message attributed to al-Qaeda which threatened Norway, saying the speaker meant Denmark but made a mistake.

Undoubtedly many Americans still don't want to believe that things could, and have, gone so spectacularly wrong--especially when the combined power of corrupt politicians and corporate media tell us daily that everything will be alright if we just quash unpatriotic dissent.
Victims of the 'peace' decide
Americans are worse than Saddam
Bush 'is on brink of catastrophe'
Coalition of the killing
Responding to the Riyadh bombings, Dick Cheney declared, "The only way to deal with this threat ultimately is to destroy it There's no treaty can solve this problem. There's no peace agreement, no policy of containment or deterrence that works to deal with this threat."
In other words, Kill 'Em All!
