Shit happens. Maybe more than it should AFA the FARC is concerned. But not your business. Too bad about the U.S. indian activists. But they went into a war zone, and the outcome doesn't give you the right to do the U.S. regime's dirty work for them. Honor their memory by not being a political putz.

Thank you for continuelous remembering my son and his PTSD. Has hard as this is for me my heart goes out to the thousands of returning Vets who are still dealing with the VA. I have had to use all my monies to bury my son and his legal matters are far from over for me. Another trip to Ala from cincinnati isn't far off and know that my pocket book is very low. I am very upset also with the government because all he gets is a $2.000.00 burial expense which won't be paid back for another year. This is so unfair for our returning sons and daughters and their families having to go threw a tragic ending as I have. Please keep fighting for your rights with the VA and always remember my beloved son.

It makes me feel some real hope for this country. I think people should send this announcement out to their lists and get everyone they know to give to help this happen. Who better to make the statement than people that actually are affected. I am some middle class white girl from Oregon without family in Iraq so when I protest it is not taken as seriously. I just feel that this is the embodyment of what the promise of America was even if the Goverment itself does not deliver and for the most part has never delivered. Perhaps we can actully save ourselves from going the way of Germany in the 30's. God knows the Dems are not going to do much. We are the ones we've been waiting for.

However, I am concerned about the link to FARC-EP on this website. Coming from an autonomist, anti-imperial, pro-indigenous perspective, I can not support the FARC given their at best very poor relations with indigenous groups in Columbia and especially in light of their killing of three North American Indigenous activists - one of whom (Ingrid) was close to several of my friends. Why include this link? I am knew to this website, and I find this project most exciting - keep up the good work.

Hello Stan,

Please post something on current events in Haiti.

I (jokingly?) suggested that we swap out all the UN blue helmets in country and put you in charge.

Loved Hideous Dream.

I’m one of America’s only war strikers. I had an $4000/week job that I quit the day that this farce began.

I can’t hold out forever, though, and now I need to get a new job.

I was also in the Marine Corps for a bit.

Keep kicking butt.

Perhaps the reader is left confused by the obvious error that the march will be in March 2005, according to the announcement, when in fact the march must be in March 2006.

I have never in my life been so surprised to find such beautifully written words describing so wonderful and noble a cause. Hidden among us all of different nations, cultures and beliefs crouches a beast so vile all holy Creation writhes with pain in it's presence.

May all of us who face the LIGHT forever find our way to the Isle of Paradise and back again to show others the way; and may those that face away from Light quickly find their way into non-existence dissolved in the 'Lake of Fire' Prepare the way for a new 'trail of tears' for now has come 'the great day of sorrow'.

EVIL WATERS a song- a sadness- a sin
____________________________________

In 2005 Katrina hit New Orleans
The FEDs blew the money so the leevees wouldn’t
hold
The waters rose higher up to the rooftops
People in their attics drowning they would die
Katrina was a level 5 and though she missed
New Orleans
Someone bombed the leevees and the people
had to flee
Rescue boats by the mile headed for New
Orleans
FEMA said “NO” and turned them away

The waters kept rising Bush kept resisting
No help would arrive till the FEDs had their
way
The world kept watching people kept drowning
On the Mississippi down in New Orleans

The National Guard in Iraq were fighting
While their families back home were left to
die
Hungry people in the Dome with no toilets or
lighting
No help would arrive till the FEDs had their
way
FEMA held the Red Cross back they started
crying
Bush wanted MARTIAL LAW but the Governor said
“NO”!
Bush called in Mercenaries so they could
run the show

The waters kept rising Bush kept resisting
No help would arrive till the FEDs had their
way
The world kept watching people kept drowning
On the Mississippi down in New Orleans

Four days passed Bush wanted power
Down in New Orleans help would not arrive
Families of New Orleans were broken and
turned sour
Forced from their homes the FEDs would
connive
We can only hope they will be compensated
After Haliburton dozes down their homes

The waters kept rising Bush kept resisting
No help would arrive till the FEDs had their
way
The world kept watching people kept drowning
On the Mississippi down in New Orleans
