USA UNDER ATTACK: Howard's End - An Eye For An Eye Leaves Everybody Blind

- Check! Check! Check! That's my advice to world leaders as the global drums of war start beating over the terrorist attack on the heartland of the United States. The answer is as plain as the nose of your face. Ask not who did it but, rather, ask why? Maree Howard writes. See... Howard's End: Check! Check! Check! [1]

USA UNDER ATTACK: Rankin - A Peaceful Prosperous World

- A peaceful world is a world in which everyone has an economic stake. A peaceful world will have no Gaza, and no Afghan refugees, without voice or hope, in Pakistan, Iran or the high seas. The United States can do more to help the poor and aggrieved peoples of the world, to build a more inclusive world. If they do, they will enhance their own security. See...

USA UNDER ATTACK: Sludge - Do We Have Time To Mourn?

- Last Night on TV1’s Holmes Show Special, a security expert spoke of the need to act decisively and within 72 hours in order to show the world that “America will not be cowered”. Unfortunately, when expressions like “Rooting Out Terrorism” are used in this context, they are code “Bombing Middle Eastern People”. And as we are dealing with the same military organisation who claims that it does not know the address of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, no matter how well guided their laser bombs are, innocents will die.

USA UNDER ATTACK: Escape From Manhattan

- We met people on the bridge that had come out of the World Trade centre from the 55th floor and they were just fine. This gives me some hope.
