The War in Afghanistan
Posted: Sunday, December 30, 2001
Excerpted from Lakdawala lecture, New Delhi
By Noam Chomsky
The threat of international terrorism is surely severe. The horrendous events of Sept. 11 had perhaps the most devastating instant human toll on record, outside of war. The word "instant" should not be overlooked; regrettably, the crime is far from unusual in the annals of violence that falls short of war. The death toll may easily have doubled or more within a few weeks, as miserable Afghans fled -- to nowhere -- under the threat of bombing, and desperately-needed food supplies were disrupted; and there were credible warnings of much worse to come.

Rep. Ron Paul's Heroic Address On The 'War On Terrorism'
Posted: Thursday, December 6, 2001
"The world today is being asked to side with the U.S. in a fight against global terrorism. This is only a cover. The world is being asked today, in reality, to side with the U.S. as it seeks to strengthen its economic hegemony. This is neither acceptable nor will it be allowed. We must forge together to state that we are neither with the terrorists nor with the United States." Full Article

Posted: Wednesday, December 5, 2001
by Jonathan Freedland - The Guardian
Is Ariel Sharon trying to kill Yasser Arafat? Can this be the policy of the prime minister of Israel, to kill the man renowned the world over as Mr Palestine, symbol of an entire nation? Full Article
Consenting apartheid
Posted: Tuesday, December 4, 2001
by Matthew Taylor Guardian UK
Riots in Britain's towns and cities, the growth in racist violence, the apparent rejection by some British Muslims of the values and policies of their chosen country; all this appears to suggest the failure of the liberal dream and of its translation into the policy and practice of multiculturalism.
