David Swanson IRAQ MASH

By David Swanson I had to read a lot of books about the current war and occupation in Iraq before I found one that's laugh out-loud hilarious. It's a book about a U.S. military hospital in Iraq, a journal kept for a 10-month tour of duty by an operating room medic. The story never leaves the hospital, and it focuses in large part on the relationships among the characters working there, including pranks and hijinks aplenty. One almost inevitably thinks of MASH and its fictional Army hospital in… Continue

Md. Ashraf Hossain US Attack in Iraq in 2003: Violation of International Humanitarian Law

A stated rationale for a potential attack on Iraq is the desire to remove any threat from weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that it possessed. Throughout 2002, the Bush administration made clear that removing Saddam Hussein from power in order to restore international peace and security was a major goal. The principal stated justifications for this policy of "regime change" were that Iraq's continuing production of WMD and known ties to terrorist organizations, as well as Iraq's continued viol… Continue

David Swanson Why Can't We Do to DC What We Did to Seattle?

By David Swanson I've been reading a brand new book called "The Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle," which is in large part an analysis of what worked in the protesting of the World Trade Organization 10 years ago. Why is it, I wonder, that activists were able to shut down the center of this major city in Washington state, but for years we have been unable to shut down the center of Washington, D.C., in opposition to wars. Certainly, we've turned out more people to march around DC on… Continue

The "Gender and Peacebuilding" distance learning course will examine why the international community speaks a great deal about including women in formal peace-making processes and recognising their peacebuilding contributions but sadly fails to do so in a systematic, meaningful way. Advances have been made in understanding the links between gender, development, human rights, peace, sec… Continue
