Their effects on civilians can be devastating. read full story / add a comment

The propaganda recently launched by the government in support of the new federal EU constitution nicknamed as “Lisbon Treaty”, has failed to actually attach the text of the Treaty to their claims on the treaty. The voters of Ireland will be called to submit their votes on an international treaty that is not available for them as of today, less than a month before the referendum. By not providing information on this fact, the current government campaigns to promote a yes vote on the referendum, amounts to the deprivation of the Irish voters of their most fundamental constitutional-democratic right to fair and free elections. The article includes a web address from where the consolidated version (the actual text) of the Lisbon Treaty can be downloaded. read full story / add a comment

Hamid Dabashi, Professor of Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature at Columbia University in New York writes on Hillary Clintons outburst regarding Iran in the 8 may issue of al-Ahram. Hamid writes: The only legitimate manner in which the Islamic Republic can be prevented from becoming a nuclear power is by ensuring that all the other nuclear powers in its neighbourhood engage in regional disarmament, first and foremost the mirror image of the Islamic Republic, the Jewish apartheid state of Israel. The latter is fully supported and sustained by the American Christian Empire, and will be after Senator Golda Clinton Meir possibly becomes its Commander-in-Chief.
