AP. 18 March 2003. Anti-war protester hurls red paint at Danish prime minister.

COPENHAGEN -- An anti-war protester hurled red paint at Denmark's prime minister Tuesday shortly before a press a conference where he was expected to back U.S. military action against Iraq.

An Urgent Appeal from Students of the Allied Occupation of Japan

The administration of U.S. President George W. Bush has announced plans to
occupy Iraq, following "pre-emptive" military strikes, based on the
so-called Japanese model -- the post-World War II Allied occupation of
Japan. As students of the Japanese occupation, we protest this reckless and
self-serving misreading of history and strongly urge the U.S. government to
reconsider its ill-conceived project of war and occupation.

So what is a traitor doing in the White House as the Bush Junta prepares for war? Only a regime as corrupt as the Bush junta that voided the results of an election
and has placed almost every indicted and convicted felon from the Reagan-Bush era into positions of power would have the audacity to parade a traitor in front of
the news cameras as a patriot.

for some centuries now, the island in the southern philippines had been war-stricken. philippine army clashes with moro liberation forces (MILF, MNLF, Abu Sayyaf) - to the expense of many tenthousands of civilians who wish nothing more than to live in their own house longer than 2 years, harvest their own without being killed by snipers. another war is at stake now. it is not about religion though using religious notions to attack - it rather is a war about oil.

THE FEDERATIVE PRINCIPLE

Yes the religious card is being played from both sides of this crisis. Yet each week even more disturbing reports emerge. Like from the National Religious Broadcasters Convention where US President George W. Bush was described as ?God's chosen man?. Bush sat, listened, then stood up empowered and proclaimed that the imminent American attack on Iraq will be one of Christian morality, that this attack would be, "in the highest moral traditions of our country [the USA]". ... These military leaders want the war to begin ASAP. As they conclude that if you let a 19-year-old sit around for long enough thinking about it, he will soon start to think about what killing means. History does repeat: George Bush Snr?s military tactics back during the 1991 Iraq campaign, led to the creation of, the now executed, Timothy McVeigh "Oklahoma Bomber", and John Allen Muhammed, the 2002 alleged indiscriminate serial killing "Washington Sniper". ... These are the minds being created again by a military that programmes youngsters, ?to the point where they are emotionally ready to kill?. .....................

Let us not be blinded by the rhetoric of religion, the politicizing, nor by the blind nationalism that springs en masse from the aggressors in this crisis. A healthier position would be to question ourselves on whether the willful and calculated slaughter of human beings is spiritually ordained, politically justified, or representative of the nations we each live in. For within this crisis, there is no middle ground to be crafted.
