Najaf - now forwards towards an Iraqi revolution! BY Stephen John Morgan American and British flags burned and were trampled under foot by hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in Najaf last weekend. A crossroads has been reached from which this could be the spring board to a genuine revoutionary struggle against the US occupation and sectarianism. More of these actions are the only chance for Iraq to remain united and to drive out the occupiers as soon as possible. Get off My President’s Back! BY Lue Deck Hey world, calm down some! Gosh, golly, gee, if we're all so terrible just put America on “hold” for awhile until we get a new leader. Dubya’s warranty runs out next year, and we’re replacing him just as fast as our constitutional processes allow. Luf at Large 15 BY Henk Luf Etihad Airlines have just commenced direct flights between Abu Dhabi and Sydney. The first landing in Sydney was not a great success. Coming in to land the A340-500 overshot the taxiway off the main 34-left runway and the aircraft had to potter along to the end of the runway before turning in towards the international terminal. Poor Sydney Airport aircraft controller inadvertently left his microphone open and was heard to say. "Bloody hell. Here it comes, another bloody Sunday driver". Perhaps he was not amused? Another comment was. "Where the hell is he going, the Opera House?"

U.S.-Australian Deal Stitched Up Hicks Sentence BY Henk Luf It has emerged the US Vice-President Dick Cheney and Australian Prime Minster John ‘bonsai’ Howard, stitched up the plea-bargain deal that allowed Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks to serve nine months in an Adelaide jail. Guantanamo Bay Farce Continues - Hicks Gets 9 Months BY Henk Luf Hicks pleaded guilty just to get out of Guantanamo and his admission can be regarded accordingly.

U.S. Risk Loosing Conviction of Khalid Sheik Mohammed BY Henk Luf If Khalid Sheik Mohammed was indeed responsible for the 9/11 attacks as well as the 'shoe-bomb' attempt, he should be tried in the U.S. proper, not through some illegal tin-pot military process that means nothing.
Travel Review BY Henk Luf It is interesting to watch the total US military paranoia at Guantanamo Bay NAS. On the US side of one particular closed and barricaded gate, numerous heavily armed US Marines with dogs and other paraphernalia were busy at it, their weapons all aimed at the 'enemy'. The 'enemy' on the other side consisted of one Cuban soldier, sitting on a deck chair, smoking a large cigar. Ah indeed, US taxpayer's dollars at work.

Unit 87: "I don't think that will be possible".
Tower: "And why not?"
Unit 87: "We are the runway sweeper, we are here to clean runways, not to fly them".
Tower: "Nothing further" and then a deafening silence.
Poor Lue's Almanack Feb. 2007 BY Lue Deck A compendium of information, entertainment and some words to the wise. The first part's true, the last part's Lue! Al Qaeda’s Hidden Weaknesses - Why Al Qaeda can't succeed BY Stephen John Morgan Highly dangerous cults of hate like Al Qaeda are social mutations that grow virulently and seem unstoppable. But they are not invincible and are bedeviled with contradictions that can eventually consume them. Much depends on them having the right conditions to flourish. To live they must kill, to survive others must die. But still they are ultimately doomed by the futility of their very existence.
The Sisyphean Surge – Petraeus and the making a Greek Tragedy BY Stephen John Morgan They say that whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. It is also said that madness can be defined by doing the same thing again and again and getting the same wrong result, without ever changing. Sisyphus was one such poor soul in question. Condemned by the Gods to roll a rock up and hill and watch it fall down again, and then continue to repeat the hopeless process for the rest of eternity. His crime had been to try to cheat the Gods, by cheating death and becoming one of them. Likewise the US is now condemned for trying to cheat defeat in Iraq, to repeating the same old mad policies over and over again. If once there was method in the madness, there is now madness in the method. This dysfunctional behaviour can only finally result in some unspeakable abomination. THE CASE AGAINST RUMSFELD BY Henk Luf Since the George W. Bush regime came to power, there have been numerous breaches of International Law, breaches of UN and other Conventions including the Geneva Convention. Those breaches are enough in severity and seriousness to warrant an international investigation as to charges being brought against former US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Laughin' with The Troops! BY Lue Deck From Subic Bay in the Philippines, to a 2,000 seat arena on the Island of Diego Garcia in the Pacific Ocean, when I have been onstage doing comedy shows for our Armed Forces, I’ve known I had two things in common with them: the first was we were all proud Americans, the second was this far away, we all missed home! The Last HONEST Booking Agent (They're disappearing at an alarming rate!)

My country has nuclear weapons...so does yours! My country is run by a crazy son of a former leader...so is yours! ... George Bush Jr Apotheosis of George Bush Jr. (Karl Rove's doing what?) The Grand Old Party and rabid Rush Limbaugh fans still have a surprise up their sleeves. Unlike their ill-fated attempts to get Ronnie Reagan on Mount Rushmore, this secret mission amounts to a unexpected foray into a previously unexplored area: ART! Religious Bias At Air Force Academy Religious Bias At Air Force Academy "The right to worship or not worship as the individual sees fit is a cornerstone of American life," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Executive Director of Americans United. "All branches of our military must respect, not denigrate, this vital principle."

UN Bureaucracy and its failures UN Bureaucracy and its failures Bureaucracies are nothing but debating societies, which are bound to fail. We've seen how they failed America on 9-11, and have seen the CIA and FBI both fail in preventing those terrorist attacks. We have also seen how the UN failed to prevent 800,000 deaths in Rwanda. Now we are seeing Bureaucracy fail again, this time it's failing Sudan -- a country where a possiable 350,000 civillians will die if nothing is done according to a press release from the Green Party's website.
What will happen? Will this Evil Bureaucracy let these people die? Or will they send in forces, or will the world as well send in forces to stop the killings and ethnic cleansing that is going on?
