| They Make It a Desert and Call It Peace -
Eric Margolis |
| Senator McCain’s insistent claims that the US is winning the war in Iraq thanks to his "surge" strategy are the military-political equivalent of the junk securities that Wall Street’s shady financiers have been selling around the globe. |
| Secret Security Pact Will Ensure Permanent Iraq Occupation -
Steve Watson |
| Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have previously asserted that the Bush junta is trying to lock a new president into a long-term presence. The security pact would mean any proposals to withdraw troops from Iraq by Obama, should he be elected, would effectively be scuppered. |
| Iraq’s Tragic Future -
Scott Ritter |
| Any analysis of the current state of the ongoing U.S. occupation of Iraq that relied solely on the U.S. government, the major candidates for president or the major media outlets in the United States for information would be hard pressed to find any bad news. |
| No Remembrance, No Remorse for the Fallen of Iraq -
John Pilger |
| On Remembrance Day 2007 – Veterans Day in America – the great and the good bowed their heads at the Cenotaph. Generals, politicians, newsreaders, football managers and stock-market traders wore their poppies. Hypocrisy was a presence. No one mentioned Iraq. No one uttered the slightest remorse for the fallen of that country. No one read the forbidden list. |
| None Dare Call It Genocide -
Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. |
| How comfy we are all in the United States, as we engage in living-room debates about the US occupation of Iraq, whether "we" are bringing them freedom and whether their freedom is really worth the sacrifice of so many of our men and women. We talk about whether war aims have really been achieved, how to exit gracefully, or whether we need a hyper-surge to finish this whole business once and for all.
But there's one thing Americans don't talk about: the lives of Iraqis, or, rather, the deaths of Iraqis. |
| America, like Napolean, takes colonialism to absurd lengths -
Tamim Barghouti |
| Sorry for the unprofessional language, but the decision taken by the Iraqi governing council to make April 9 Iraq’s new national day is utterly stupid. But colonizers are generally stupid. |

Terry Jones |
| Why are there no fundraisers for the Iraqi dead?

| The Mongol Invasion of Iraq: Lessons Never Learned -
Amir Butler |
| The despicable men of the Bush Administration, so infatuated with their own messianic vision for the democratic revolution, so intoxicated with the hubris of empire, and so enslaved to the neo-Jacobin vision of "creative destruction" have fallen into the snare of thinking that they can do what no other society has been able to do: violently impose a foreign ideology on the Muslim world. |
| Fallujah -
Salman ibn Fahd al-'Awdah |
| "The Bush Administration won its war against the tyrannical and despotic Ba`th regime in Iraq. However, under no legitimate pretext will it be able to do the same against the Muslim masses." |
| Chilling Proposal For A 'New Iraq' From The Neocons -
Robert Fisk |
| "More desperate attempts by the Americans to escape from Iraq and more talk of turning “New Iraq” into ethnic statelets. More Arab humiliation. More anger. More “war on terror”. Flak jackets on for 2004."
