The world today is suffering a lot because of the devastating impact of unilateralism, racism and Zionism. Nothing at present indicates that world peace and security will prevail soon.

Meeting for Oxford activists against the WTO ministerial in Cancun.Really Dodgy Dossier
20-07-2003 18:51
Much has been made recently of the "Dodgy Dossier" that was used by HMG to justify its participation in the invasion of Iraq. But nobody seems to have seen fit to ask about the Really Dodgy Dossier, the one put forward by Number 10 in the days immediately following the 9/11 massacre. The PMO's "Responsibility For The Terrorist Atrocities In The United States," are 70 points presented without any citations of sources or references, that are mainly unsupported innuendo. If this dossier is also Dodgy, then the whole Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory begins to unravel.Larzac Festival Against WTO - France 8-10th August 03

18-07-2003 14:08
You have just bought your new computer, it comes with Windows XP (Microsoft's first attempt at building a stable operating system), but as you quickly discover, without application software, you have acquired a very expensive paperweight. Why beg, borrow or steal a copy of Microsoft Office and help to propagate the Microsoft monoculture when you can download for free Open Office?Farnborough Airport Consultative Committee
