Between the Lines Interview with Dennis Halliday on Iraq and possible war

Dennis Halliday resigned his position as U.N. under-secretary general
in charge of Iraq's oil for food program (as did his successor) in protest
over the U.S. led sanctions which have killed hundreds of thousands of civi=
lians in the last 10 years.

Dennis Fox (http://people.uis.edu/dfox1) from his Brookline TAB Column
(Massachusetts), GADFLYING:
Thirty years ago I moved to Israel, intending to stay forever. I left
quickly, though, my Zionist impulses weakening as right-wingers
strengthened their grip on Israeli policy.
The segment of Zionism that initially attracted me at least had the=20
virtue of generating guilt. The Israelis I most admired understood an=20
uncomfortable truth: from the beginning, Zionism's focus on Jewish=20
survival blinded it to the equally legitimate rights of Arabs who,=20
inconveniently, already lived on the land.........

Race War: George Monbiot
------------------------
Those of us who opposed the bombing of Afghanistan warned that the war
between nations would not stop there. Now, as Tony Blair prepares the
British people for an attack on Iraq, the conflict seems to be
proliferating faster than most of us predicted. But there is another
danger, which we have tended to neglect: that of escalating hostilities
WITHIN the nations waging this war.
