Criticism of the veil is not about liberating women
One of the more distasteful features of the wave of attacks on Muslims has been the sight of feminists lining up to support Jack Straws comments against the veil. Women who claim they believe in liberation should know better. The womens movement of the 1960s was anti-racist, coming out of the civil rights and anti-war movements in the US.
Those who espouse their ideas today are attacking some of the most oppressed women in the name of liberating them. Their assumption is that any Muslim woman who wears the veil or the hijab does so because of pressure. This is false - some women may fit into this category, but many Muslim women choose to wear the niqab or the hijab for their identity, or for political or other reasons. They are making a statement which they have every right to make.
You would think from the attacks that it was only among Muslims that womens oppression still exists. In fact, women in the West do not have even the most basic equality, despite nominal lip service to the term.

Why Bush Smiles: Victory is at Hand in Iraq
Yes, victory. You wonder why Bush and his minions maintain the seemingly irrational belief that "things are going well" in Iraq, that "we're making progress," etc.? That's because things are going well in the war they are fighting: the war for money and power.

The worst in Iraq is still to come
In the US, Iraq is now primarily an electoral rather than a nation-building, humanitarian or counter-terrorism issue. With the Republicans fighting to retain control of Congress in next month's midterm polls, George Bush's Middle East freedom mission has become a hard-nosed numbers game.

Iraq: Leave Or Be Forced Out
The United States is not militarily capable of preventing the worse war yet to come, and trying to do so would only start a new war between the United States and the Shiites who want the U.S. to leave. Since we cannot prevent sectarian violence, the only question is whether we leave before the inevitable confrontation with Shiitesa battle U.S. troops would certainly lose.

Stewart in Leg-irons; the latest victory in the war on terror
So far, Bushs only triumph in his muddled war on terror has been locking up the two Stewart Sisters, Lynne and Martha. (Theyre not really sisters) Neither posed any threat to national security, but thats beside the point. Their arrest sends a chilling message to home-decoration mavens and 67 year old cancer patients that theyd better watch their step or theyll find themselves in prison-pinstripes.

The propaganda of our times
J.B. Priestly in the Root Is Fear wrote: "Almost all propaganda is designed to create fear. Heads of governments and their officials know that a frightened people are easier to govern, will forfeit rights it would otherwise defend, are less likely to demand a better life, and will agree to millions and millions being spent on 'defense'." Between now and Election Day we'll see Karl Rove's minions flaunt the Islamic Fascist line repeatedly and unabashedly to garner votes.

Iraqis Ask Why U.S. Forces Didnt Intervene in Balad
...In the aftermath of the reprisals, some residents of Balad asked why American troops had not intervened when the killings began in earnest on Saturday. One of the largest American military bases in Iraq, Camp Anaconda, which includes a sprawling air base that serves as the logistical hub of the war, is nearby. "People are bewildered because of the weak response by the Americans," said one Balad resident who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals. "They used to patrol the city every day, but when the violence started, we didnt see any sign of them."....

The War in Afghanistan: Drugs, Money Laundering and the Banking System
It must also be recognized that the insurgency is also partially and genuinely a resistance movement in many parts of Afghanistan. The media "erroneously" calls this movement the "Taliban." On the ground in Afghanistan, however, NATO troops term the Afghan insurgents as Anti-Coalition Militias (ACMs).

Recent scientific polls that show around 84% don't believe the government's explanation behind 9/11 and others confirming the fact that support for the war in Iraq is at an all time low have led the Bush administration to sharpen their knives against the new breed of perceived "enemy propagandists," bloggers, journalists and online activists who dissent against the "war on terror."
