by ordinary conscripts -- farmboys and dock workers, factory hands,

sharks, college men -- would have been inscribed on plates of

by Paul Craig Roberts. Is Bush trying to start WWIII? "A generalized

into generalized conflict in the Middle East – the ignition
of which was the precise reason behind the neoconservative plan
to invade Iraq. Although utterly discredited by the failure of
their 'cakewalk' scenario, the neocon ideologues and their Likud
Party allies might yet prevail in starting a Middle Eastern war."

from WSWS. "Nader's current downgrading of the war question is
not a mere oversight. He can hardly continue to appeal to popular
sentiment against the Iraq war and simultaneously promote the
candidacy of Kerry, who voted to authorize the invasion and adamantly
supports the US occupation." New Democracy invites disgruntled
Nader supporters and all antiwar "third party" candidates (Labor,
Socialist, Conservative, Libertarian, Green, etc.) to join the
call for a boycott this year of the US Presidential election.
