bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === The Third Wave of Political Islamism BEIRUT -- Mainstream Islamist political parties that win elections throughout the Middle East and Asia are often perceived in Western lands and Israel as a dire threat. Not all Arabs and Asians are happy with the victorious Islamists, either. It is important to interpret correctly why the Islamists are winning, and what they really represent. http://www.agenceglobal.com/article.asp?id=842 === Humanity Suffers the Savagery of the American Empires Post 9/11 Worldview Pink Slips Abound for Prosecutors and Therapists Karl Rove, the mastermind of Bush IIs ascension to Americas seat of power, is a man of great distinction. Despite his decidedly porcine features, Mr. Roves Machiavellian lust for power, narcissistic lack of empathy, sycophantic devotion to the Bush crime family, deceitful nature, and conniving mind coalesce to leave the Prince looking like a pauper. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12383.htm === 9/11: Bush administration renews preemptive war strategy The National Security Strategy document released Thursday by the White House reaffirms the prerogative of the United States to take preemptive actions to counter possible threats from alleged enemies. When it was first unveiled in September 2002, the Bush administrations doctrine of preemptive war was generally seen as an attempt to justify the impending invasion of Iraqa country that posed absolutely no real or foreseeable, let alone imminent, threat to the United States. The doctrine was widely condemned outside the United States as advancing a policy for which there exists no foundation in international law. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/mar2006/nsec-m17.shtml === 9/11: Doctors attack US over Guantanamo More than 250 medical experts have signed a letter condemning the US for force-feeding prisoners on hunger strike at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The experts, from seven nations, said physicians at the prison had to respect inmates' right to refuse treatment. The letter, in the medical journal The Lancet, said doctors who used restraints and force-feeding should be punished by their professional bodies. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4790742.stm === Basic Statistics for United States Imperialism http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/usinterventionism.html === American Megalomania Our 'national security strategy' is crazed nonsense.What the U.S. government is saying, here, is that it has abandoned the traditional behavior of ordinary nation-states throughout history. This is generally understood to be the preservation and protection its own national interests, somewhat narrowly defined as the defense of its territory and such ancillary overseas interests as are directly related to its continued survival as a nation. But the Americans have now abandoned that paradigm, and are seemingly intent on adopting the old Soviet model, at least the one that predominated in the immediate aftermath of the 1917 Bolshevik coup, in which the Communist International was proclaimed from the rooftops and the leaders of the Russian state routinely referred to their intention to overthrow world capitalism. http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=8718 === "It's far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them." A must watch 5 minute video http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12372.htm === The End Of Civilization I had a mild epiphany the other day: its not President Bush whos living in a fantasy world, its most of his critics who are. Im no apologist for Bush I neither like nor dislike him. Hes no more significant to me than a fly buzzing around outside my window. So permit me to explain my reasoning. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12381.htm === What Did You See at the War, Jimmy? We demonized the Iraqi people and we were given carte blanche to shoot first and ask questions later. I think that the truth hurts. I think when a lot of Marines read this book it's going to bring to their point of view the violations of the Geneva Conventions. Can you win a war with continued violations of the Geneva Conventions and International Law? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12391.htm === The central battlefield in the global resource war Once we observe the sharp black outline of Americas newest battlefield, the illusions of the war on terror are quickly dispelled. This is the geographic reality of the present conflict. The war on terror is merely public relations fluff. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12388.htm === Ottawa begins process to send Khadr to U.S. To hear reasons for extradition - Eldest son faces terrorism charges Canada's attorney general has ordered the start of an extradition hearing that could send Abdullah Khadr to the United States to face terrorism charges. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1142549413076&call_page=TS_World&call_pageid=968332188854&call_pagepath=News/World&pubid=968163964505 === Canada in Afghanistan to please the Americans, says Rick Salutin So now we have an incident a week in Afghanistan. Two weeks ago, an axe attack. This week, shooting the innocent passenger in a minicab. Two locals dead. One, 16; the other, 60. Sandwiched between, the PM's thumbs-up visit. We are rapidly constructing our own quagmire, built on the U.S model in Iraq, and miming their rhetoric: Canadians do not cut and run, said Stephen Harper, just as George Bush said he would not "send a signal to our enemies -- that . . . America will cut and run." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060317.COSALUTIN17/TPStory/specialComment/columnists === The Inside Story of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq Almost three years to the day after the war started, a new book titled "Cobra II" details the inside story of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. The book is written by Michael Gordon, chief military correspondent for The New York Times, and retired Marine general Bernard Trainor.

It must be brought to an end Tony Blair's announcement that he will henceforward account only to God for the Iraq war makes perfect sense. Every secular reason he has concocted for the catastrophe has turned out to be the reverse of the truth: there were no weapons of mass destruction, we are less safe from terrorism, the Iraqi people themselves do not want us in their country. No more of his excuses for this epic man-made disaster stand an earthly chance of being believed. http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1732815,00.html === Video of Rafidan The Poletical Commitee of The Mujahideen Army Arabic http://media.abolkhaseb.net/video/rafidan/8M-1.wmv === In search of Iraqi reality and an exit strategy When I am dead and opened, you shall find 'Calais' lying in my heart. Mary Tudor, 1516-1558 Iraq will be George Bush's Calais. Iraq will be lying in his heart during his life, whether or not he wants it there. It will define his legacy after leaving the White House. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060317.wxcosimp17/BNStory/International/home === U.S. lets debt rise to almost $9-trillion Increase in cap will help finance the Iraq war and Katrina relief WASHINGTON -- It was just another day in the U.S. Congress. By a vote of 52 to 48, the Senate voted yesterday to raise the limit on the federal debt by a cool $781-billion (U.S.), to a whopping total now nudging $9-trillion. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060317.IRAQ17/TPStory/?query= === Death Squads Terrorize Baghdad Shiite death squads are spreading fear in Baghdad's Sunni neighborhoods.

The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread 'democracy' throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardised not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the US been willing to set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries was based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives, but neither explanation can account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the US provides. http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html === Death in Kandahar: "I dont have a husband to protect me" Afghan family cries for fallen father KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN-Semem Gul slaps at her face and thrashes at her chest.

MNN. March 16, 2006. On March 10, 2006, the United Nations Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination found that the United States was denying the Western Shoshone people their rights to own, develop, control and use their land and resources. They warned the U.S. to respect their obligations according to the Convention. The U. S. was urged to "freeze", "desist" and "stop" their actions against the Western Shoshone and abide by the Committee's Early Warning and Urgent Action Procedure. The Western Shoshone land base covers approximately 60 million acres, stretching across the states of Nevada, Idaho, Utah and California. Their land rights were entrenched in the 1868 Treaty of Ruby Valley. The U.S. used a procedure similar to that of the Canadian and Ontario governments when they turned land belonging to the Stoney Point people at Ipperwash into a park. The U.S. declared the Western Shoshone lands had become "public" or federal lands in violation of the treaty. http://www.montrealmuslimnews.net/shoshone.htm === Embargoes on global arms trade have been total failure, says UN Despite the UN naming hundreds of companies - including those in Britain - for allegedly violating embargoes imposed on countries engaged in bloody conflicts and repression, the system for bringing them to book has abjectly failed. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/politics/article351535.ece === Pigs at the trough: Former top U.S. general gets $200,000-a-year board gig Recently retired Gen.
