Europe Might Split over Iraq
Germany and France keep silent
The Western press keeps writing about the split, which is about to occur on the European continent.

Old Asia Says NO
It is rumored that the USA has prepared over 300 new super-effective instruments of killing for this Gulf war
It won’t be a surprise at all if someone in Washington calls China old Asia, the same manner that the label old Europe was invented for France and Germany. By analogy with leaders from the old Europe (Bulgarian and others who would like to rush to Baghdad), there are Asiatic politicians who also want to do George W. Bush favor. Bangkok, Kabul, Manila, Seoul, Taipei and Tokyo expressed their solidarity with the US aggression on the very first day of the war. But these six YES in support of the aggression are all together much less than one NO said by China, and also by India More details...

An Affront to the Laws of Humanity
It is but the one-sided slaughter of a defenseless people, almost half of them children
It is but the one-sided slaughter of a defenseless people, almost half of them children, an affront to the laws of humanity so profound that it "cries revenge before God" said the Vatican. Because there is no enemy, except perhaps in the tortured minds of ageing draft-dodgers, there can be but an empty victory for the nation that has managed to turn the nearly universal sympathy she received after September 11th into nearly universal contempt More details...

Iraq Becomes Basis of “Resistance Mechanism”
And this is respective of the fact whether Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is alive or already dead
Today we cannot speak about the break-up of Saddam’s regime and about future prospects of post-Saddam Iraq.

Thanks to his efforts, Iraq has been practically turned into the power of resistance to the mechanism of “de-soveregnization” imposed by the United States More details...

The War May Entail Ecological Disaster in the World
Americans and the allies are going to proceed with the usage of ammunition with depleted uranium as danger of such ammunition for the health of soldiers hasn’t been confirmed
When Iraqi troops abandoned Kuwait in 1991, they carried out Saddam’s order to set about 700 oil wells on fire. And what ecologists saw on that place surpassed the worst expectations. The smog concentration in the air exceeded all possible norms 30 times. About three barrels of oil burnt out in the burning wells every day, which made up approximately 5% of the daily world consumption of oil. Black clouds went up to the height of up to 3 kilometers and were spread far beyond the borders of Kuwait. It was within a whole year that black rains containing the poisonous mixture of sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, nitric acid and hydrocarbon fell not only in Kuwait and Iraq, but also in Saudi Arabia and Iran More details...
