Socialist Alliance
The second National Conference of the Socialist Alliance in May voted to
move towards a united multi-tendency socialist party. Most SA members
expected a different situation and a different tempo for Socialist
Alliance as a result. In fact, there has been more continuity than
dramatic change in the two months since the Conference.

Gulf War 2 – Was it a Dollar versus Euro proxy war?
What were the real reasons behind the USA’s drive for war in Iraq? Two
polar-opposite explanations have been discussed on the left. The first
theory is that the USA’s power has now become so huge that the US
capitalist class realistically aspires to rule the whole world more or
less directly, laying down the law for every country from Washington.The
second is that the USA is frantically trying to stall a decline in its
world power. Specifically, that USA went to war in Iraq essentially to
stop the world oil industry moving to trade in euros rather than
dollars. Both explanations seem to me simplistic and overly conspiratorial.
