A day in the life of an Iraqi

Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - 11:00

Bomb me humanly
Terrorise me with democracy
McDonaldise me when I hunger.

Destroy my country
to save it!

The old stench of fascism
is being blown away
by the
new stench of fascism.

Uncontrolled B52 joy flights
That sweet, heavy steel rain.

This is nothing,
compared to the destruction
The vultures from the World Bank
will unleash

As soon as the liberators
stop killing me.

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
