This is from Archis Acres, an organic farm program in Southern California
that trains Iraq and Afghanistan veterans in organic farming. It's owned
and operated by Colin Archipley, who served three tours with the Marines in
Iraq, then came back and with his wife Karen established a model alternative
to wars for oil.
I met them at a Farmer-Veterans Coalition dinner. They
have helped vets who were at the end of their rope and some who were even
considering re-joining the military and going back to Iraq, because even
though they hated the war, they felt like they couldn't make it on the
outside....

posted at www.uruknet.de
Frank Barat
March 1, 2010 - Today, the first session of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine (RTP) will be held in Barcelona. The RTP is a peoples' tribunal focusing not on Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law (IHL) such as the Fourth Geneva Convention, but on the obligations of the international community of signatory states which sustain and enable Israel's continuous violations of international law. Israel has violated more than 60 UN resolutions and countless legal and diplomatic calls to abide by international law ...

Nothing But Shit Strewn Everywhere
(the amerikkkan way of war-- must read for questioning G.I.'s, vets-- Anton, VVAWAI)

February 27, 2010 - Nineteen years ago, one of the most diabolical slaughters in war history occurred in Iraq. Despite the assurances of the Bush I regime that retreating Iraqi soldiers would not be attacked, just the opposite happened. Iraqi soldiers and civilians were massacred after Saddam Hussein called for their exit of Kuwait. More than 100,000 Iraqi soldiers were killed in five weeks, the majority during the 100-hour ground war. You may say, "This is war an d people get killed." That’s true, but tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers were killed by illegal weapons in a most brutal manner that contradicted international laws that apply to war. When then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell, was asked about the number of deaths the Iraqi military suffered, he said, "I don’t have a clue and I don’t plan to undertake any real effort to find out." This is the same man who stated several months after Desert Storm that his goal was to "make the world scared to death of the United States."...
