An Open Letter sent out to Anti-war groups and Anti-war folks around the world

Forget The Headlines: Iraqi Freedom Deferred
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud090709.htm

Before we take our eyes off Iraq, Americans must remember their own culpabilities in what transpired there. Antiwar activists and people of conscience must not forget that 130,000 US soldiers remain in the country; that the US has complete control over Iraqi airspace and territorial water; that there is not yet a reason to celebrate and move on

The Two-State Solution, Israeli-Style
By Jonathan Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook090709.htm

Should Mr Abbas and his PA functionaries sign up to this Israeli vision of statehood, the defeat for the Palestinians will be greater still

Settlements First
By Yacov Ben Efrat

http://www.countercurrents.org/efrat090709.htm

Obama's basic problem when it comes to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the same as his problem when it comes to America's economic issues: he is trying to bring about far-reaching change within a failed framework. His apparent inability to go outside the box – global capitalism on the one hand, and the Oslo agreement on the other – is likely to be his nemesis

The Story Of Silwan

Palestinian residents of Silwan are threatened with demolition and expulsion

Obama's Cap And Trade Carbon Emissions Bill -
A Stealth Scheme To License Pollution And Fraud
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman090709.htm

It's to let corporate polluters reap huge windfall profits by charging consumers more for energy and fuel as well as create a new bubble through carbon trading derivatives speculation. It does nothing to address environmental issues, yet on June 26 the House narrowly passed (229 - 212) and sent it to the Senate to be debated and voted on. More on that below

A Tale Of Two Encounters:
Dehradun And Batla House
By Manish Sethi & Adeel Mehdi

http://www.countercurrents.org/mehdi090709.htm

Jamia Teachers' Solidarity Group reiterates its demand for a judicial probe into the Batla House incident, and the application of the same standards of justice for Atif and Sajid as those applied in the unfortunate and tragic case of Ranbir Singh

So, Who Needs Corporations, Anyhow?
By Case Wagenvoord

http://www.countercurrents.org/wagenvoord090709.htm

I see the makings of wonderful guerilla campaign as young people spray paint the number "28" of walls and signs; I see pin and bumper stickers sporting the number "28" along with a line of T-shirts and hoodies displaying the same. This is a movement that could cut across class, gender and ethnic divisions because if there is one thing unifying America, it is our economic misery. And if nothing else, the drive for a 28 th Amendment would make our oligarchs and plutocrats sweat. That, alone, would make the effort worthwhile

Child Labour-A Hindrance In Development
By Divya Bhargava

http://www.countercurrents.org/bhargava090709.htm

Child Labour is not only a hindrance in child's development but also a hindrance in nation's development. Children are universally recognized as the most important asset of any nation and child Labour, in the recent past, has evoked a great concern among all. Children have been the main focus of attention especially after proclaiming the year 1979 as the International Year of the Child by the United Nation's General Assembly

Signs, Symbols And Arguments
By Chandi Sinnathurai

http://www.countercurrents.org/sinnathurai090709.htm

The Tamil struggle for freedom, equality, dignified and decent living is not something that requires re-kindling. The agonising voice of the Tamils in IDP camps is a living witness of suffering. Some one in Sri Lanka who had been working with the suffering people said over a telephone conversation to me that there are those who have lost limbs and arms were pleading passers by to scratch their bodies. Many have heat pimples and mosquito bites
