Hizbollah - terrorists or freedom fighters ?
Dr Salman Ahmed
26th July 2006
Living in Britain and watching events of the latest Middle East crisis unfold, it is easy to believe that Israel is justified in neutralising Hizbollah and that fundamentalist militant Islamic groups such as Hizbollah and Hamas are preventing the achievement of a real peace between Jews and Arabs.

Standing together - against Hizbullah
25th July 2006
The current crisis in Lebanon is something of a watershed moment for the Arab regimes and their relationship with their publics. The statements of a number of these regimes have reflected what many in the region have suspected for many years: namely, when it comes to the crunch, these rulers are more interested in protecting Israel and the US from the Arabs and Muslims rather than protecting Arabs from Israel and the US.

S occupation of Iraq - A bigger debacle than Vietnam
Sajjad Khan
25th March 2006
It is always interesting to listen to pro war commentators on the subject of Iraq; they sound so sure of themselves. Frequently using favourable comparisons to Saddam Hussein’s rule (as if he was somehow an appropriate benchmark), or claiming that they speak for the Iraqi people, they constantly tell us that Iraq is going well and that the US led occupation has popular acceptance.
