Bush's War Widens Dangerously

Israel Lobby's US Treasury Follies Hurt
By Grant F. Smith
According to the Jerusalem Post, the US Department of Treasury's new
Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI) unit is going after the Islamic
Republic of Iran Shipping Lines. - Trade with Iran and the rest of the Middle

America Needs a Shadow Government
By Timothy V. Gatto
During the past two terms of this Presidency we have learned in-depth about
signing statements, the "Unitary Presidency", numerous Executive Orders that
remain secret from the Congress, extraordinary "rendition", and torture to
include inflicting injuries on another human being "to the point of, but not
exceeding organ failure". We know of places such as Abu Graib, and Guantanamo
and watched as our Army dropped white Phosphorus on innocent civilians in a
city called Fallujah.

Life And Death
By Peter Chamberlin
The life or death struggle I am referring to is not with some shadowy

Bolivia: Fascism Seizes Power - Morales Complains
By James Petras
If there is one lesson that Morales can learn from the peasants who have
been degraded and horsewhipped in the streets of Santa Cruz, the trade
unionists who have been burned out of their headquarters and homes in Pando and
the street vendors who have been driven from the markets in Tarija, is that you
cannot 'make deals' with fascists. You don't defeat fascism through elections
and concessions to their big property-owning paymasters.

Cuba and Haiti: Children of Prometheus
By John MaxwellMaxwell
If a hurricane misses the United States, it doesn't exist in the minds of

Haiti, the countries that "destroyed slavery" and "European empire in the
Western hemisphere," and "successfully asserted the right of any country, no
matter how small to choose its own path to development," respectively.
