A note to our readers

Hey --

Another Sunday.



First up, we thank all who participated this edition which includes Dallas and the following:



The Third Estate Sunday Review's Jim, Dona, Ty, Jess and Ava,
Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude,
Betty of Thomas Friedman Is a Great Man,
C.I. of The Common Ills and The Third Estate Sunday Review,
Kat of Kat's Korner (of The Common Ills),
Mike of Mikey Likes It!,
Elaine of Like Maria Said Paz),
Cedric of Cedric's Big Mix,
Ruth of Ruth's Report,
Wally of The Daily Jot,
Trina of Trina's Kitchen,
Marcia of SICKOFITRDLZ,
Stan of Oh Boy It Never Ends,
Isaiah of The World Today Just Nuts,
and Ann of Ann's Mega Dub.

And what did we come up with?



Francis A. Boyle provides some basic facts regarding the Iraq War.
John Stauber had an incredible piece of writing last week.
So we highlighted it twice and could have done it 20 times.

Though they pretend to follow Iraq with their rush-to-write-a-column-about-what-happened-10-years-ago, they really don't know a damn thing about how bad Iraqis have it today.
Ava and C.I. cover Nikita.
This is how to write one of the bad columns you are finding everywhere these days -- uninformed columns that act as if Iraq ceased to exist when Bush left the White House.

The Iraqi protesters have a message for the world.

Unbelievable is the only term for the administration's pretense as "openess."
A picture alarmed in January but the media just accepts it these days.

I (Jim) participated in this along with Ava and C.I. which makes it a Third piece needing to be posted here as well.  It was a strong roundtable and it was insightful not to be the moderator and watch how another person handles the duties.
Short feature.
Repost of Great Britain's Socialist Worker. 
Workers World repost.


Mike and the gang wrote this and we thank them for it.



Peace.
