I've followed Robert Fisk's writings for years. I have always had the utmost respect for him. He is that rarity - a mainstream journalist who writes from a principled postion. I have always considered him the definitive reporter on all mat...

In 1999 at Massey Hall, Toronto I listened to Professor Chomsky share on the subject, "Who Decides?" He was referring to "todays Democracy" and within it, who are the people and institutions who decide what kind of Democracy we...

9-11 was by far the biggest terrorist attack on Americans, and it killed approximately 3,000 people. As of today, the count of US 'military' casualties in Iraq on antiwar.com is 4,427. So, one dangerous idea is that the US politicians an...

I am interested to get anybody's take in this community on Ron Paul, the Republican congressman from Texas. As a young person I was drawn to his message of peace during the 2008 campaign, yet he was shunned by the leaders of the American righ...

"Well, you know, we're all against torture, but in a war situation, we have to take a different attitude." World War II was a 'war situation', so by this reasoning, everything the Nazis did was just fine and dandy. May...

No, then came USA intervention and its founding of Al-Qaida in Afghanistan. So, USA and Al-Qaida are more or less the same.

The number of 100,000 dead by violence as a result of the US-UK invasion is often taken from the Iraq Body Count, an NGO that bases the figure on media reports in Iraq and more recently data taken from morgues. This seems to be the most ofte...

From the excerpt you posted I have to say that I think Nir's article is far better. I'm not sure where 70,000 came from (I had understood the death toll to be 100,000), but that is not as important as his analysis -after all, he is not del...

One can hardly have confidence in Nir Rosen's analysis of the Iraqi situation when he states that "more than 70,000 Iraqis have been killed" ! There is more than enough evidence that this number may be off by a factor of 10. So...

Hi JohnIn fairness to the Guardian (as opposed to the Observer), I don't think it's quite true that it was a 'great supporter' of the Iraq invasion of 2003, although it may have assented to the invasion of Afghanistan. I haven't been able to...
