Part II: Hidden Truth About Israeli-American War Crimes
In the previous essay, the true terrorist motives for 9-11 were listed, as opposed to the lie that “they hate our freedom.” These reasons were our military bases in Muslim holy lands, our military invasions and sanctions that killed half a million Iraqi children, and American-Israeli foreign policy.
War Crimes ‘R’ U.S.
For many of us, the policies of these rulers were far more alarming than a few non-state terrorists. Sure, non-state terrorists can blow up a few buildings and kill some people, but it pales compared to state terrorists with multimillion dollar warplanes bombing thousands of times more life and civilian property.

The Topsy-Turvy Fight For Fayetteville Ordinance 119
In the early morning hours of Aug. 20, after 10 grueling hours of public comment, the Fayetteville City Council approved, 6-2, an ordinance protecting the civil rights of all persons to be free from unfair discrimination.
Reclaim Armistice Day and Honor the Real Heroes
More than a few veterans, Veterans For Peace among them, are troubled by the way Americans observe Veterans Day on November 11th.
