For two decades, Iraqi children have been subjected to grave violations of human rights.Due to decades of war, foreign occupation and international sanctions, Iraq has turned into one of the worst places for children in the Middle East and North Africa with around 3.5 million living in poverty, 1.5 million under the age of five undernourished and 100 infants dying every day, (The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF)(IRIN News, 2007).
This report will focus on the violations by the occupying forces and the Iraqi government of the Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, Geneva, 12 August 1949, (ICRC) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. >complete report<

Israel Celebrates Successful 9/11 Operation on Purim Holiday
By Dr. Kevin Barrett and Press TV
For more than eleven years, Israel has been wildly celebrating the success of its 9/11 operation against the United States of America. The latest example: Israeli children recently dressed up as the burning Twin Towers, complete with impaled exploding airplanes, to celebrate the bizarre Jewish holiday known as Purim.
Purim exalts and commemorates an ancient operation very much like 9/11. It glorifies the deceptions of Esther, who concealed her Jewish identity to seduce the King of Persia, then slyly tricked him into slaughtering 75,000 people deemed “enemies of the Jews.”
In other words, Purim celebrates Jews lying, secretly penetrating the highest levels of government, and manipulating the leaders of an empire into mass-murdering perceived “enemies of the Jewish people.” That is exactly what the neoconservative Likudnik extremists – Wolfowitz, Perle, Libby, and the rest – did on September 11th, 2001. The only difference is that these modern, neocon Esthers would eventually kill millions of innocent people, not just 75,000.
And if they succeed in tricking the US into attacking Iran on behalf of Israel, thereby launching World War III, today’s neocon Esthers could kill tens or even hundreds of millions.

Capitalist Conspiracy Documentary Edward Griffin
The "United States" is a corporation...
If you really want to understand why this is true, then you will have to look at each of the following pieces of the puzzle (links)... This will take a lot of your time and more importantly, the suspension of your idealism and belief.
That is hard. Trust me, I know.
I just spent an hour putting this post together and am passing this information on to you, so please don't let it go to waste. Consider it an early Christmas present!

The entirely bogus "war on drugs"
More from our 1980s
retrospective.
There's a war on drugs, right?
Ah, well, sort of...
If you're slinging crack on a
street corner, you're going
to jail.
If you're shipping in drugs
by the ton, you might just
get help from the CIA, the
White House and the State
Department.
How it worked in the 80s
when there were still journalists
to report on it.
