I know the issue of the ICC itself isn't new. If Bush doesn't want to get the US involved in this then that's his problem. I think it's just so he can demonstrate to 'the folks back home' that he's defending their interests when in reality all he's doing is isolating the US even further. But...

Whoaah, could this Hanson dude wave his flag any more furiously?!! This article veers dangerously close to racism in my opinion.

Given the way your own government has gotten away with possibly the most truly blatant act of mass deception in living memory, I would think that hypocrisy in the media is the last thing u should be worried about.

I take great offence at this piece of whimpering nonsense. How self-pitying can u try to be?? Please stop trying to make the US to be the be-all and end-all when it comes to world issues. Yes, it has a major say in what goes on in our world but there are plenty of other countries which can and...

I'm so glad to hear an eyewitness account. I was wondering if it was really the revolution Western reporters were describing. Good luck! You guys have a good track record when it comes to political protest. :) Keep us updated, please! We'll be watching! [/B] It's interesting to read...

Yeah, I was thinking of doing something similar. I live in Dublin and would love to see them somewhere like Spain or Italy...... I've only ever booked tickets online so I imagine that's the best way of doing it. Or maybe if u know someone who lives in the country u want to see them.

This story is intruiging, to say the least. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/story.jsp?story=585069

Interesting couple of stories about Margaret Hassan, which I'll put on another post so as to keep this one on Al-Jazeera only.

This guy would want to be very, very sure about his allegations. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1514&e=4&u=/afp/20041123/wl_mideast_afp/iraq_media_qaeda

No, I haven't turned it into a political football. I simply said that we shouldn't lose sight of the situations that were created that led up to this and other deaths, and that more needs to be done to try and prevent further deaths from happening. My post was basically about learning from...

It's another sickening day in this whole tragedy. The men who did this are not human in the way we know it to be and when all is said and done they are the ones responsible for Margaret Hassan's death. However, this shouldn't prevent us from recognising the failures that led to this and other...

You and me both. I'll be scratching my head over this one for a while yet.

While I won't be happy to see him go, I don't think he ever really recovered his reputation after that charade at the UN Assembly. You could see at the time that he didn't really believe himself what he was telling the world. Maybe he fought the neo-cons as much as he could but now he's gone...

Re: Re: Re: Whatever happened to journalists simply reporting the news? I work for a newspaper as a sub-editor and i have to say i have read or heard many stories which are supposed to be news stories but which are far more biased than this one. Saying that Bush 'painted a rosy picture of the...

Am I reading the same story? I've read through this a few times and I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Where are these personal opinions that u mention? Could u point them out?

It's difficult to listen to pro-Bushies talk about how much money these countries stood to lose without reaching for the sick bucket. The words pot, kettle and black spring to mind. Are u telling me that Bush, Cheney and their big corporate pals are NOT going to profit from this war? And are u...

If it was a case of Europeans (here we go again) trying to interfere in the domestic issues of your country u would have a point. But the result of this election was always going to have major implications for the rest of the world. Therefore, too damn right the rest of us outside the US were...

When u refer to Europe apologising for 'their' blatant involvement try and be a bit more specific please. I'm sure you're well aware that Europe is actually a continent of many different countries. And spare us the bleating about 'innocent Iraqis'. Let's be honest, before they got into the...

Well, I go and have a look at the first page and the first thing I see is G-U-N-S. Am I surprised? Of course not!

You seem to have a fixation with guns and killing people. What are u trying to tell us with this picture? U trying to make some sort of statement?

Oh for Christ sake.........Europeans were not trying to tell u how to run your country!!! Were u really that paranoid and insecure before the election?

Anyone who re-elects their leader just to tell a bunch of foreigners to shove it needs their head examined.

They do it very well yeah? Well, I'm sure there are many, many people in Iraq who would take strong exception to that point of view.
