Mescaline CatechismBack when the previous American war on Iraq started, there were cries of “No war for oil!” coming from the Western Left. It was the culprit they were comfortable with. Nowadays, though, AIPAC‘s and the US media‘s push is so shrill that even the Left is no longer pointing accusatory fingers at oil. They’re like [...]

The Dirty Bombs of Fallujah
Wednesday 28 March 2012
No comments
Watching Feurat Alani’s documentary “Fallujah, a Lost Generation?” on RT, about the effects of Depleted Uranium bombarded onto Iraq’s Fallujah, by Americans, I am reminded of similar stories about Basra. Basra’s collection of deformed babies came about after the first US war in Iraq, but Fallujah’s fate seems even more horrific. Fallujah’s seem to have [...]
Millions of Dead Iranians

How does the above title make one feel? I am willing to bet that, for an alarming number of people, the above is at least a touch retributive! Certainly so in North America, if not much of the West. On Lobe Log, Marsha B. Cohen tackles the devastation of an Israeli war on Iran. She [...]

George Galloway, on three hot topics: Iraq, Palestine and Iran. An excellent show.

The mighty, mighty Chris Hayes covered the end of the Iraq War in a recent episode of his Up (With Chris Hayes) show. It was the only US show not to have its head up (no pun) its ass with respect to the war on Iraq. They even talked to an actual Iraqi, in Iraq! [...]
Syria: Saudi Arabia’s New Iraq?

Suicide bombers in Syria?!!! Are you fcking kidding me?!! To Westerners this might seem ‘normal’ for Arabs/Muslims. But it is about as normal as Shia-Sunni internecine slaughter was in Iraq! Iraq is a tribal society, with one’s clan being far more important. AFAIK, intermarriage was widespread across the various sects and religions. (Let’s not forget [...]
Depleted Uranium: Agent Orange in a Bullet

“When you close your eyes, you see unheard pain.” And untold horror. Loss that tears into me, and leaves me empty. The unbearable pain that does not kill. There are creatures which live on our eyelids, and demons which live beneath; every night, they crawl out. We go on, with a full view of each [...]
