THE LIE OF THE CENTURY
As you honor the memory of those who died in battle, you must also ask for what reason were these brave men and women killed? For what noble purpose do thousands of our young people live crippled lives?
Dead because of a lie. Dead because selfish people in government wanted a war and lied to get one, aided by selfish people in the media WHO TOOK MONEY FROM GEORGE BUSH TO LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. The government and the media traded the blood of these young Americans for their personal gain. Look at their faces. How can you not be angry?

Corruptness in our Government
It's about time we woke up as a nation. How many of us have said at some time in our life, "History repeats itself?" When will we believe the very words we speak ourselves? Think of the Roman Empire, think of the Byzantine Empire, think of all the Pharaohs, think of Easter Island, then think of this thing we know as the American Empire, the United States.

Afghanistan's Second Intifada
The Taliban have reclaimed southern Afghanistan, reconstruction has been miniscule, and theres been no attempt to establish security beyond the capital of Kabul. Afghanistan continues to languish in grinding poverty with less clean water and electricity than before the war. It is a failed narco-state with 99% of the countryside under the iron-grip of the regional warlords and drug-kingpins.

Dangerous dirty tricks in Palestine
Palestinian Authority chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas is pushing the internal Palestinian situation towards a dangerous and unnecessary crisis. He has called a referendum supposedly to gain public endorsement for a document written by Hamas and Fatah members held in Israeli jails which calls for the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel in all the territories occupied in 1967. But Abbas' ploy has nothing to do with hastening the creation of such a state, and everything to do with Fatah's inability to come to terms with its defeat in last January's legislative elections.
