New booklet published: Fighting For Our Lives
Just completed: A glossy, accessible booklet about anarchism, designed for non-anarchists, called Fighting For Our Lives. In simple (but not condescending) language, it explains what is anarchist in everyday life, and how those spheres of cooperation can be expanded. It addresses common questions that often deter people from exploring anarchist ideas and approaches. We have 250,000 copies that we want to give away....

Bush ignores public opinion in war drive
In the face of growing public opposition and a divided Congress, President George W. Bush continued a fanatical drive towards war with Iraq pushing a bipartisan resolution giving him free reign to launch unilateral military action. Despite captiulation by some leaders of Congress, members of Congress are mounting a campaign reflecting the overwhelming calls and e-mails that have swamped their offices from constituents saying no to war....

Wellstone may have come out against war in part because of Green Candidate in the race!!!
Although the title of this article is rediculous, I found this gem in there about his reasons for opposing the war. And I'm sorry, but this just proves how insane the Act For Change call for the Green candidate to drop out was!!
Wellstone could NOT afford to support the war with the Green candidate opposing it! EXCELLENT!!!
"But supporting the war could energize the so-far lackluster candidacy of the Green Party's Ray Tricomo, siphoning off just enough votes to cost Wellstone his...

Israel's arms inspector
The double standards that scream at you whenever you see the words "weapons of mass destruction" cannot be excused on the grounds that Israel is abiding by international regulations. Israel refuses to sign any treaty regulating the use of nuclear weapons....

Captive Palestinian Leader Charges Israel With Terror and Crimes Against Humanity
If Bush claims that Iraq should be forced to uphold UN Resolutions, then the US must also force Israel to uphold UN Resolutions. Iraq has defied 16 UN Resolutions. Israel has defied 80 UN Resolutions. Americans must not support the racist, terrorist, rogue state of Israel! It'd be less costly to have a aircraft carrier in the area in terms of both money and world opinion. The US is the ONLY country that supports Israel! We must demand an end to this support!...

Prosecuting a war would cost between $6 billion and $9 billion a month-although how long such a war may last cannot be estimated. After hostilities end, the costs to return U.S. forces to their home bases would range between $5 billion and $7 billion, CBO estim...

what can we do about terrorism?
Remove the desperation, give them some hope, and support for terrorism will evaporate. At that point bin Laden will be forced to abandon terrorism (as has Arafat) or be treated like a common criminal. Either way, he and his money cease to be a threat. We CAN have security ... or we can have revenge. We cannot have both....
