Cluster bombs come in many forms.
Cluster munitions can be delivered using artillery guns, long range rockets and ground attack aircraft.
The cluster munitions are often small bomblets often about the size of a hand grenade packed into large pod.
The pod breaks apart over the target, dispersing the bomblets which can shower an area the size of several football fields.
Their effects on civilians can be devastating. read full story / add a comment

In May 1968, during the Vietnam War ine people walked into a Selective Service Office,
in Catonsville Maryland U.S.A., took hundreds of
draft files from a cabinet, took them outside, doused them with
homemade napalm and burned them in the name of peace. It
raised serious questions about nonviolent resistance to the U.S. war
in Vietnam and initiated a praxis that today engages U.S. wars in Iraq & Afghanistan

Dutch minister Hirsch Ballin wants txt, telephone conversations and emails that people send in the Netherlands and from and to the Netherlands to be kept for 18 months on file instead of the 6 months it is currently kept for. The law on the protection of privacy is outweighed by the need for protection of the state they conclude. The new European law states that the states will have to keep the conversations on file for more than lf a year. Another reason to vote no to the treaty. read full story / add a comment

This entire project has been the cause of untold misery, strife and unhappiness for our families and community. We will continue to resist Shell through every legal, political and campaigning means open to us, even though this could lead to more years of unnecessary conflict.

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.
