Dahr Jamail inbäddade sig hos det irakiska folket istället för ockupationsmaktens militär. På så sätt har han kunnat ge en annan, sannare bild av det massiva brottet, än den koloniala propaganda som filtrerats igenom det amerikanska våldsmaskineriet. Hans bok Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches From an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq kommer ut om några dagar. The New Statesman publicerar ett utdrag ; What I saw in Fallujah :Fatima's uncle was shot and killed, his wife had been wounded, and …

2007-11-05 21:32  Duff diplomacy
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): Condoleezza Rice keeps pretty chirpy, but it was a gloomy weekend for US power and interests in the Middle East. Every way she looked during a flying visit to the region, hopes of progress turned to dust in her hands. From Pakistan to the occupied Palestinian territories, there is a sense of imminent unravelling born of misjudgment and long-term neglect. President-General Pervez Musharraf's "second coup" was a personal rebuff for the US secretary of sta …

2007-11-05 21:07  The Iraq war has become a disaster that we have chosen to forget
By Madeleine Bunting (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): "You think you are innocent, but you're not," said the British Muslim suicide bomber in the Channel 4 television drama Britz last week. As the compelling actor Manjinder Virk recited her suicide statement to camera, she went on: thousands of women and children are dying every day in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet the governments responsible have been returned to power.Her assertion sticks in the mind because it goes straight to the heart of how we ch …

D et är allt svårare att se hur världen kan undvika ett amerikanskt terrorkrig mot Iran. Vad som gör situationen oändligt många gånger värre än för bara några månader sedan är att Rudy Giuliani, den republikanske huvudkandidaten, nu har omslutet sig med neokonservativa rådgivare och nu börjar agitera för ett amerikanskt bomkbrig mot Iran. Det är inte som om president Bush direkt behöver hjälp med att starta kriget. Robin Wright skriver i Washington Post om hur Bush-regeringen nu tar ännu ett sto …

2007-10-23 20:17  Nasjonalistisk stemning griper Tyrkia
Mange tyrkere er grepet av en nasjonalistisk stemning som krever utløp i krig. Folk marsjerer i gatene i en blanding av begravelse og opptog. De høyreekstreme Grå Ulver har oppslutning, og ropet "Allah vil ha krig" høres. Det skumle er at dette også går ut over individuelle kurdere i hverdagen. Skulle Tyrkia invadere og miste mange soldater kan det bli riktig stygt. Dette må feks. den britiske regjering vite, likevel går man langt i å forstå tyrkerne. Ingen tør å advare mot et høyrenasjonalt hys …

By Peter W. Galbraith, a former United States ambassador to Croatia and the author of œThe End of Iraq . He is a principal in a company that does consulting in Iraq and elsewhere (THE NEW YORK TIMES, 23/10/07): In a surge of realism, the Senate has voted 75-23 to acknowledge that Iraq has broken up and cannot be put back together. The measure, co-sponsored by Joe Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate, and Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas, supports a plan for Iraq to become a loose confe …

Vi hører mye om PKK, men lite eller ingenting om PJAK - iranske kurdere som fører geriljakrig mot Iran, på samme måte som PKK mot Tyrkia. Begge kan utløse krig og Iran og Tyrkia kan meget vel komme til å samarbeide om å knuse geriljaen. Richard A. Oppel fra Herald Tribune har vært oppe i de 3.000 meter høye fjelltoppene der PJAK-geriljens soldater klatrer som fjellgeiter. PJAK står for Partiet for et fritt liv i Kurdistan.

By Jim Hoagland (THE WASHINGTON POST, 21/10/07): Britain has decided to declare stability in southern Iraq and get out of the Shiite power struggles in Basra. In Afghanistan, an urgent need to recruit local police officers whose loyalty to the NATO -backed Kabul government is uncertain tempers ambitions to build an integrated national police force. The search for "local solutions" is accelerating across the Middle East and Central Asia as U.S. and allied forces assess the high cost of the two sh …

As one of those who thought the invasion of Iraq was a good thing to do for both humanitarian and strategic reasons, the flow of books by those who went there after the invasion or by Iraqis who did their best to put it on the path to democracy all tell essentially the same story …

Suffering kidney disease and living in a Damascus slum, Amal Jabar lost her only means of support when Syria closed its borders to Iraqi refugees a few weeks ago. "My son Mostafa used to come and bring me whatever little he scraped together from odd jobs in Baghdad. I would be starving now if it wasn't for charity," said Jabar, who fled from the al-Amel district in Baghdad, a focus of sectarian fighting. "The area is swamped with militias and Mostafa's life is in danger. He was planning to move …

2007-10-18 10:57  Rush Limbaugh is Unpatriotic
Harry Reid said it, it must be true. During the phony controversy over Rush Limbaugh's calling phony soldiers "phony soldiers," it went almost unnoticed that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Limbaugh "unpatriotic." If the Democrats' own rhetoric is to be believed, that remark should have been universally met with shock and condemnation. That's because, since the start of the war, conservatives have accepted the premise that it's always wrong to question someone's patriotism. For the past …

(Originally posted at The Motley Patriot and is an update to an article I wrote posted at TalkLeft )I originally posted a diary at TalkLeft entitled, `The Merry-Go-Round of Iraqi Sectarian Violence`, in which I show how U.S. policy in Iraq is fueling the sectarian violence. Given Turkey's recent vote to allow incursions into northern Iraq against the PKK, I thought an update appropriate. So, first, exactly how is the U.S. policy in Iraq fueling the sectarian violence Because we are arming militi …

About two months ago, the New York Times published an op-ed from seven infantry NCOs that questioned the wisdom of œstaying the course in Iraq. The piece was damning, and punctuated by the fact that one of the Soldiers was seriously wounded between the time the piece was written and when it was published, and two more of the seven were killed shortly after. Today, on the fifth anniversary of the congress passing the AUMF, the Washington Post ran an op-ed penned by twelve former Army Captains w …
