Supporting Iraqi Christians
2008-04-26 18:33:00 Encouraged by the Barnabas Fund (link in title) I have written to my MP and encourage you to do so also. Here is my letter'It may come a surprise to you to have a second communication from me in support of government policy. I have always supported the invasion of Iraq. In fact I think we should have done it when we liberated Kuwait. It would have saved Labour a lot of problems :-) So I am calling for more involvement there, specifically to protect the Christian minority who are being persecuted by those opposed to the occupation. In the eyes of good Muslims there is no separation of religion and politics. They wrongly see all Christians as supporters of the invasion. So Iraqi Christians who were no threat to Saddam are viewed as friends of the invaders and suffer with little apparent protection from the Coalition forces. They are being forced to flee their country. It is estimated that over one million Christians have fed the country since persecution started after the first Gulf ...

Selling the Iraqi War on TV
2008-04-22 19:42:00 Remember, propaganda is illegal when directed towards the voting public. AlterNet In Sunday's New York Times, investigative reporter David Barstow exposed television's "military analysts" on the Iraq War as sock puppets of the Pentagon who consciously peddle the Bush administration's talking points on Iraq while hiding their own vested economic interest in selling the public on the Bush administration's happy talk about the war. This very long and very well-documented story lays bare the most blatantly obnoxious feature of the "Military-Industrial-Media Complex" which ensures that the airwaves convey the administration's major messages on the war day in a day out. The story should mobilize the blogosphere and news media figures who still have some integrity to demand immediate reform of a massively corrupt network system of covering military affairs. For starters, the networks should be forced to fire every "military analyst" who has been recruited and accepted all-expenses...

2008-04-15 03:51:00 Soccer isn’t that big a deal in America, but in Iraq it is. Especially when you consider the Iraq soccer teams recent championship in the Asian Cup. Our soldiers over in Iraq noticed this love of soccer, and took some action: Soldiers from 3rd Platoon, Company A, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, gave the local secondary school a boost in pursuit of their favorite sport. First Lt. Kevin Brown, a native of Indianapolis, along with members of his platoon, presented the headmaster of the Jurf Secondary School a complete set of soccer uniforms; enough to outfit a 16-man team, including a goalie and referee uniform. This is very important to the image of America in Iraq, and to counter anti-American sentiment. Plus, it is a very generous and giving thing to do: The platoon left the uniforms with the headmaster and returned the following day to take a team photo. Enthusiasm beamed on the faces of the young players as they hur...
