Why Is America Terrorizing Muslims?
President Bush invoked the War on Terrorism, as a dictum of power, not reason and wisdom, to camouflage the prospective future with acts of barbarity and to dispel the notion of accountability in global affairs. Historically, people and nations pursuing this path of behavior have ended up in self-defeat and self-destruction.

The Terrorism Index
Is the United States winning the war on terror? Not according to more than 100 of Americas top foreign-policy hands. They see a national security apparatus in disrepair and a government that is failing to protect the public from the next attack.

9/11 : SAYING SOMETHING POSITIVE ABOUT TALIBAN IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN YELLING FIRE IN A MOVIE THEATRE
Is there anything more dangerous than yelling "FIRE!!!" in a movie theatre? Yes, try saying something positive about the Taliban (that they abolished war-lords who kidnapped girls, raped them and trade them as commodities, that the Taliban brought peace and security to the Afghan people, that they completely eradicated opium growth etc.) or the President of Iran whom the media has turned into an Anti-Semite! If you are in polite company, you will surely see a lot of raised eye-brows and if you are in a rowdy company, you could even be assaulted!!

9/11 : In Hicks's case it's not the law that is the ass
If Geneva Conventions and congressional approval are required for Guantanamo trials, what about the whole slew of "legal" devices that the Bush White House has manufactured for the war on terrorism? This includes warrantless eavesdropping, indefinite detention, interrogation techniques, torture, rendition and CIA black sites.

Distorted Morality: America's War on Terror?
America's war on terror is a logical impossibility
The U.S. government has been, and continues to be, a major supporter of state-supported terrorism, favoring retaliatory or preemptive aggression over mediation in the world court, and avoiding accountability by excluding itself from the globally accepted definition of terrorism.

Hegemonic Tyrant Courts Doom
Gentle reader, consider what it means when our government believes other countries have no right to their own interests unless they coincide with US interests.

Israel and Palestine: Who started it?
"We left Gaza and they are firing Qassams" - there is no more precise a formulation of the prevailing view about the current round of the conflict. "They started," will be the routine response to anyone who tries to argue, for example, that a few hours before the first Qassam fell on the school in Ashkelon, causing no damage, Israel sowed destruction at the Islamic University in Gaza.
Israel is causing electricity blackouts, laying sieges, bombing and shelling, assassinating and imprisoning, killing and wounding civilians, including children and babies, in horrifying numbers, but "they started."
They are also "breaking the rules" laid down by Israel: We are allowed to bomb anything we want and they are not allowed to launch Qassams. When they fire a Qassam at Ashkelon, that's an "escalation of the conflict," and when we bomb a university and a school, it's perfectly alright. Why? Because they started. That's why the majority thinks that all the justice is on our side. Like in a schoolyard fight, the argument about who started is Israel's winning moral argument to justify every injustice.

Israel Britains Imperialist Rottweiler
Frankly, I am beside myself with despair and anger at the actions of the Israeli government which have, as one commentator put it, more in common with the Nazi onslaught on the Warsaw Ghetto than any nonsense about defending the Israeli people from 'terrorism.
Worse still is the frustration I feel with the actions of the British government, which aside from a plaintive whine about "restraint", does absolutely nothing. Are we to stand by and watch 'our' government be party to a war crime of the most horrendous proportions? It seems so. So too, the 'impartial' BBC is directly complicit in covering up Israel's crimes against humanity and frankly, when the day comes and the Western governments are forced to answer for their crimes, the BBC should also be in the dock along with them.
