This is amazing footage. Armed only with a camera, two Americans participates in a non-violent protest against the Israel Apartheid Wall. Israeli soldiers use clubs and real bullets against unarmed people. Camera man is shot at and some protestors are seriously hurt. Imagine what would...

Now this is a mistake: And if Iran refuses?

I noticed in the other article about Iran's high speed torpedoes that many people here are making the same mistake about Iran that the French did about Germany before WW II. The French Marginot Line, which would have been useful during WW I, failed to take into account technology change. When...

Sure OBL is a nutcase. But even nutcases can have a rational. In the case of OBL, his reasons for wanting the USA to be precisely where it is today were clear a decade ago. This isn't an anti-American rant. Its an anti-American foreign policy and anti-American government rant and there is a...

Israeli's daily violations of the ceasefire agreement threaten to re-ignite this conflict. Its only a matter of time until someone shoots down an Israeli warplane in Lebanon. A good chance it won't be Hezbollah...

Today's News >>>>>>>>>> ...Gates said. "We are not planning a war with Iran."... Gates says U.S. not looking for excuse for Iran war By Andrew Grey WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on Thursday that the United States was not looking for an excuse to attack Iran and...

As this makes our news, most likely we hear the second verion rather than the first version. Do (1) and (2) mean the same thing? Are they both the truth?

On Friday, insurgents shot down their fourth American helicopter in two weeks. Four helicopters in two weeks could be a coincidence or an indication that Iraqi insurgents have better weaponry. Although the US has no evidence directly linking Iran to these incidents, its also no secret that...

I posted this as a response on page 8 or so on an unrelated string. But I think this response deserves its own thread. The title above is sarcastic. This thread is about the Iraq war. What people believe about this war resembles a fairy tale more than reality. For example: The US invaded...

More proof that Americans are loosing their freedom and privacy: Now that Bush has the power to open people's mail, he can delegate it to others. Government snooping without judicial oversight is more or less complete now. The Internet, telephone and now mail.

Zionism: The problem with Zionsim is that it doesn't take into account the people who lived in and around Palestine. These people lived here for thousands of years. Not only do these people precede the Zionsist state of Israel, some share the same ancestors as Jews. Likely some of these...

The UNSC has passed a resolution placing easily circumvented restrictions on Iran because it refuses to stop its NPT compliant uranium enrichment activities. Iran vows to continue to ignore American/Israeli threats. Under the terms of the NPT, non-nuclear nations like Iran are guarenteed the...

After 10 years of fighting, 13,000 dead, the Nepalese communist insurgents and the government have overcome their differences and agreed to an interim constitution and elections. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/4406457.html Hopefully now that the ceasefire has evolved into...

Successfully. It hit its target. Pakistan isn't the most stable country in the world. It doesn't even control all its territory. [/SIZE]

The news reports the violence in the middle east, but its intent is to manipulate opinion rather than inform. I have noticed many people on this website don't know many well documented historical facts. I would like rational informed debate on middle east affairs. This wikipedia article is...

Clearly the Afghanistan mission is having problems. Afghanistan has never been easy to conquer and pacify. This article describes what our forces are facing in Afghanistan: Part of the problem is a recent deal between Pakistan and pro-Taliban tribal leaders in Northern Pakistan:

Rather than just continuing to simmer, I think its just a matter of time until the next big flare up in the middle east. Anyone care to speculate what will happen next? The Lebanon conflict proved Israel is vulnerable to Hezbollah's tactics. Right now Gaza is more or less in open warfare...

A link to recent developments: Lebanese troops have finally deployed along their border with Israel. Israel's troops haven't pulled out yet. Hezbollah is armed and not far away. I have no doubt's this dispute will resume. South-Lebanon/North-Israel appears to be the designated...
