Weary of War? Don't Collaborate
By Kathy Kelly
t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Friday 18 April 2008
An April 14 Associated Press article by Anne Flaherty reported that US senators and representatives are finding common ground in asking that Iraqis begin picking up the tab for the cost of war. The lawmakers are troubled that Iraqis might experience windfall surpluses of revenue generated by rising oil prices, while Americans bear the burden of paying for the Iraq war. "In hearings last week," Flaherty writes, "Joseph Lieberman (I-Connecticut) asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates whether Baghdad should start paying some US combat costs, and Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) raised the possibility that an anticipated Iraqi budget surplus this year could be used to help Afghanistan, whose $700 million in annual revenue represents a small fraction of Iraq's $46.8 billion budget." |

Protest the war with the Molly Brigade |
|
|
Event submitted by Laura Tillem on Sunday, February 10, 2008 - 7:48pm |
|
Molly's Brigade was founded almost a year ago - giving honor and respect to the intrepid journalist, Molly Ivins. She died in January 2007 - but not before giving us the ultimatum of 'getting out on the streets with our pots and pans and demanding "Out Now" (Iraq). We have been doing just that.
We encourage you to bring your signs...we need lots of people to help us remind Wichitans that there is substantial opposition to the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan and resistance - and anger - to the bailout.
The usual location every Friday is by the Peace Center on 13th at Topeka (no parking problems) |

STATEMENT BY PROF. RICHARD FALK,
UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES
The Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations
of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions, both in
regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the requirements of the
laws of war. |
