Owning up to deceptions on the Iraq war

US aggression breeds terror: UN chief
Mr Annan said the use of military force against terrorist groups could encourage more terrorism, while pre-emptive strikes could lead to a lawless world where nations attack one another "with or without justification".

A Nightmare in Iraq
Americans soldiers are killing innocent Iraqi civilians almost on a regular basis. In recent days and in separate incidents they killed eight Iraqi policemen, an Iraqi interpreter working for the U.S. occupiers, a woman and her child at a wedding, and a young teenager at another wedding. Many more have been seriously injured. As British journalist Robert Fisk reports from Baghdad, "Every day, Iraqi civilians are wounded or shot dead by US troops."

Singing the Baghdad Blues
There are three debates swirling around Iraq at the moment.
One is why the administration has been struggling with the aftermath of the war, which was the subtext to the president's U.N. speech yesterday. (Would Bush have bothered to drop by the United Nations if things were going swimmingly?) Another, being pushed hard by the Democratic candidates, is whether Bush hyped the case for war and failed to properly plan for the postwar chaos. The third, not surprisingly, involves the media's role.

Occupation and Censorship
Sewage is coming through the manhole covers, there's still only 15 hours electricity a day and anarchy grips the streets of Baghdad, but yesterday America's toothless Iraqi "interim council" roared like a lion, issuing a set of restrictions and threats--against the press, of course.
Owning up to deceptions on the Iraq war
ON THE ASSUMPTION that America is thoroughly brainwashed, President Bush said with no hint of shame, "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in September the 11th." National Security adviser Condoleezza Rice said, "We have never claimed that Saddam Hussein had either . . . direction or control of 9/11." Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said, "I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe I could say" that Saddam Hussein was tied to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Axis of oppression
President Yasser Arafat has always been a thorn in the side of Israel. The US President Bush has tried to pull this thorn out by declaring Arafat a "failed leader" who is inciting terrorism in Israel and declares that Hamas suicide bombers are killing Israelis indiscriminately on his orders.

Assassination, Occupation, Separation
Israel A Danger
What country in the Middle East occupies the lands of other people? What country in the Middle East is in violation of more than 60 United Nations resolutions? What country in the Middle East openly practices a policy of assassinating its political opponents? What country in the Middle East routinely violates international law? What country in the Middle East possesses nuclear weapons, refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and refuses to allow international inspection of its nuclear facilities?
