 Last May, President Bush made his now-famous -- and outrageously false -- statement to a Polish television station: "We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories.... But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them."

  Iran: The road not taken
by Mohammad Ayatollahi Tabaar,
August 26, 2003

Fifty years ago on August 19, 1953, the Americans, with the help of the British, overthrew one of the few democratic governments in the Middle East. The Central Intelligence Agency carried out a coup against premier Mohammad Mossadegh of Iran and brought the Shah, who was in exile at the time, back to power. The success of this subversion emboldened the US for the coming decades to carry out similar actions in Guatemala, Chile, Cuba, Vietnam, and many other countries in the world (The Bay of Pigs fiasco in Cuba and the coup against Salvador Allende in Chile that led to the ascendance of Augusto Pinochet to power are just two examples).

   
 
 

Will Iran Be Next?

August 5 , 2003
  Those who have hoped that a U.S. military victory in Iraq would somehow bring about a more peaceful world are in for a rude awakening. The final resolution of this war and the U.S. occupation of Iraq will likely not be the end, rather, only the prelude to a succession of future crises: in Kashmir, Syria, North Korea, and Iran. This article will focus primarily on the latter case.                       Information Clearing House
         
 

 

 
  Global War Looms?   by Gordon Thomas
June 29, 2003
 

Two weeks ago, a prince of the Kuwaiti Royal family received a phone call from an aide to Secretary of Defence (War -ed) Donald Rumsfeld asking if the complex was available. The prince already suspected it was needed for one of those secret meetings, which Washington has taken to holding in the Gulf. The next day a Hercules transport landed at Kuwait's international airport. From it emerged a group of pale-faced, middle-aged men in drill shirts and chinos. They carried laptops and bulky briefcases. To a casual observer they were just another delegation from Washington involved in post-war Iraq. But these men were the forward planners for the next war-the one against Iran. Within an hour of installing themselves in their palatial surroundings-securely guarded by U.S. forces-they had unloaded their maps of Iran, downloaded their computer images of its terrain and set about planning "Target Iran."      American Free Press




  What Is Happening in America?   by Eliot Weinberger
June 8, 2003
 

In the Western democracies in the last fifty years, we have grown accustomed to governments whose policies on specific issues may be good or bad, but which essentially institute incremental changes to the status quo. The major exceptions have been Thatcher and Reagan, but even their programs of dismantling systems of social welfare seem, in retrospect, mild compared to what is happening in the United States under George Bush-- or more exactly, the ruling junta that tells Bush what to do and say.     American Free Press
