[Baghdad Dweller» Forcing Democracy in The Middle East] PRELIMINARY DECLARATION OF THE JURY OF CONSCIENCE WORLD TRIBUNAL ON IRAQ: Australia and the US are currently celebrating the safe release of ONE Western hostage in Iraq - but the US-led Coalition is holding about 10 million under-5 year olds hostage in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories (out of over 50 million hostages in total) and nearly HALF A MILLION of these infants are dying EACH YEAR, largely due to grossly insufficient provision of life-preserving requisites by the Occupying Coalition [2, 15]. In comparison, jihadists and Muslim insurgents have killed 5,000 Western civilians over the last 20 years.
[BZB's BriarPatch] War Profiteers behind Bars: Survival or Armageddon?: Regardless of the rhetoric being spun out of Washington, DC that we "must win" the war in Iraq, and the insurgents must die, along with all the terror-mad men who hate us, if we are to survive these times with any shred of dignity we must face the facts laid out before us by the rest of the world. We are suffering under the most criminally corrupt regime of corporate pirates to ever seize power in the industrial world, and we are being robbed blind as they distract all of us with far-flung manipulations of terror and sacrifices of our children.
[Healingiraq.blogspot.com] Healing Iraq: Some Iraqis and specifically GC members, ministers, and characters that have gained some authority and influence in post-Saddam Iraq allude, on many occasions, to the fact that Iraq was exclusively ruled by Sunnis during the last 80 years. They explain that the British occupation adminstration early in the last century punished the Shi'ite majority because of their leading role in the bloody 1920 revolt (thawrat al'ishrin) against the British presence in Iraq following WWI which was sparked by fatwas from the Shi'ite marji'iya and Hawza clerics (specifically by the Ayatollah Al-Shirazi who was the Sistani of that period).

Apparently the editors of Slate, who love to nitpick NYTjournalists’ mistakes, swallowed this with a big piece of Americanapple pie and ice cream:“”¦ Most of the beheadings featured onthe Al Jazeera news network were committed in the city, carried outunder klieg lights with written instructions how and when the CDsshould be delivered to make the evening news.
[Acsblog.org] ACSBlog: The Blog of the American Constitution Society: Guest ...: [Woods] shows that the Constitution was never understood to be a permanent union, that big government caused the North-South conflict, that Alexander Hamilton's friends were racketeers, that the US didn't have to enter WW I, that Hoover was a big government conservative, that FDR made the Depression worse, that there really were Communists in government, that FDR made WW II inevitable, that the Marshall Plan was a flop, that the Civil Rights movement increased social conflict and made everyone worse off, that unions made workers poorer, that the 80s weren't really the decade of greed, that Clinton's wars were aggressive and avoidable, and that his personal issues were a major distraction from the real problems of the 1990s.
