Is Bush's empire coming unstuck in Iraq?
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2005/620/620p17.htm>
Under the cover of Bush's global `war on terror', US defence secretary
Donald Rumsfeld pushed for a decisive ****ft away from fighting lengthy
wars using large numbers
of ground combat troops toward rapidly defeating recalcitrant and weak
Third World states.
The Iraq war was supposed to be a test run of this new strategy.
However, as the March 11 Los Angeles
Times re****ted, `many defense department officials are acknowledging
that an intractable Iraqi insurgency they didn't foresee has
undermined'
this new military strategy. [Full article]

John Pilger: 'They are afraid of you'
The following remarks were made by John Pilger (03/20/05) at an
anti-war rally in Sydney, Australia.
03/22/05 - - The other day, the Aboriginal filmmaker Richard Frankland
said this: "When you've got a voice, you've got freedom, and when
you've got freedom, you've got responsibility. Negotiating with
politicians doesn't work. You've got to change attitudes." That's the
task for all of us here today. It's not an easy one. In fact, many good
people in Australia and other countries believe their voice cannot
possibly be heard: that the forces of bigotry and violence are far too
powerful. Full: http://www.greenleft.org.au/pilger.htm
