PILGER: BLAIR IS A COWARD Jan 29 2003 John Pilger: His most damning verdict on Tony Blair William Russell, the great correspondent who reported the carnage of imperial wars, may have first used the expression "blood on his hands" to describe impeccable politicians who, at a safe distance, order the mass killing of ordinary people. In my experience "on his hands" applies especially to those modern political leaders who have had no personal experience of war, like George W Bush, who managed not to serve in Vietnam, and the effete Tony Blair. There is about them the essential cowardice of...

Say “No” To Hollywood Have you had enough from the mouths of the Hollywood elite? Tired of the Bush-bashing? The anti-Americanism? The cruelty that comes out of the mouths of some of these “stars”? It’s time to send a message to Hollywood. And the message is: We’re not going to take it anymore. Hollywood has always had its share of politically active pundits, but lately, probably due to the repugnant nature of the remarks made, they have drawn increased media attention. Most recently it was Ed Harris with his anti-Bush remarks: “ Being a man, I've got to say that...

<p>WASHINGTON - As we prepare to watch President George Bush give his State of the Union address on Tuesday, we think back to Jan. 18 when Saddam's surrogates were in town protesting any use of force against Iraq.</p> <p>In scenes reminiscent of the anti-draft, peace-at-any-price days of Vietnam, some 70,000 demonstrators rallied, marched and orated in Washington and as many again were doing the same in San Francisco. There were smaller efforts in other American cities, along with shows of even greater anti-American enthusiasm surging in some foreign capitals.</p>

100,000 Communists March On Washington To Give Aid and Comfort to Saddam HusseinBy David HorowitzFrontPageMagazine.com | October 28, 2002 In politics it is important to call things by their right names. Otherwise you are fooling yourself with other people's propaganda. The press is reporting Saturday's "Stop the War" demonstration in Washington as though it was a peace march. Of course it was no such thing. It was a regrouping of the Communist left, the same left that supported Stalin and Mao and Ho. Indeed, this Communist left, organized by Ramsey Clark and his cohorts even supports Slobodan Milosevic, and of...

<p>Meanwhile, the antiwar petition over at "Not in Our Name" continue to attract prestigious signatures from all walks of life. Here's a sample, just from the "A" page: Idi Amin, "Retired from Military"; Marie Antoinette, "Aristocrat, noblewoman, progressive dietician"; Emma Ahstrach, who describes herself as coming "from a long line of peace-loving Ahstriches who deplore all forms of violence"; Trendy W.

US anti-war groups flex their muscle Duncan Campbell in Los Angeles Tuesday October 22, 2002 The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk Medea Benjamin has been close to both President Bush and his defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, over the past few weeks. So close, in fact, that she was arrested. Most memorably, Ms Benjamin was one of two women seen directly behind Mr Rumsfeld at last month's congressional hearings on Iraq holding an anti-war placard and later charged with "disruption of Congress". This Saturday, she will help lead what organisers hope will echo in scale the anti-war protests of the Vietnam era three decades...

Filed at 7:04 p.m. ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - About 10,000 protesters gathered in New York City's Central Park on Sunday to demonstrate against a possible U.S. military strike on Iraq, witnesses said. A range of people of all ages and including Muslim leaders and U.S. war veterans recited a ``Pledge of Resistance'' saying in part that ``not in our name will you wage endless war, not in our name will you invade countries, bomb civilians, kill more children.'' The organizers -- a group called Not in Our Name --estimated the crowd in the East Meadow of the park at...
