U.S. Kills 150 civilians with carpet bombs in Afghan town You have to use newspapers outside the U.S. to get the news. What is the death toll now? I wish I had some numbers.
The anti-war protests are getting louder and louder. In the UK, 100,000 people marched in an anti-war rally. 
That’s amazing. Here in Austin, the group Austin Against War has been organizing. The people are mobilizing against this stupidity. A 16 year old girl registered her feelings about this war by poking the Prince of Wales on the cheek 3 times with a red carnation. For her act of protest she could be given fifteen years in prison.
America, the uber rogue state, accused 5 other countries of developing chemical/biological weapons. The United States while supporting controls of chemical weapons in theory stops short when it comes to inspections of its own plants and facilities. The United States rejected a legally binding inspection plan under the terms of the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention signed by 144 nations. “American officials shocked other countries last July by rejecting more than six years of negotiations on enforcement measures of the 1972 treaty, arguing they were ineffective.” The United States has become a ‘rogue-state’ operating unilaterally wherever, however, and whenever they wish. We will not stop terrorism until we destroy its roots, United States-style state-sponsored terrorism. U.S. foreign policy has caused all of these problems. The U.S. throws its weight around in the world supporting the causes of its resident transnationals and then it is suprised when something catastrophic happens as a result. In more shadiness, the islamic militant group, Hizbullah, said the U.S. offered to forgive them for past attacks against westerners in return for dropping its struggle against Israel. The U.S. has a dirty past when it comes to the Mideast. If you want a glimpse of some of the terrorism and covert action that the U.S. is responsible for there is a good article titled, A History of Folly. It describes some of the background behind this latest debacle and this new ‘war against terror’. Most likely the U.S. will use this same reasoning to engage in war against Iraq, Indonesia, Libya and whomever else it likes. This will be a war without end. It echoes of 1984. The Pentagon is building a case for future military playthings. Next is Iraq. This Machiavellian thinking has gotten us nowhere.
