"It is not just a rhetorical flight of demonstrators' fancy: in cold reality, George W. Bush is indeed a far greater threat to world peace than Saddam Hussein." http://www.gvnews.net/html/Crisis/gvabs069.html Was Sheikh Mohammed, the so-called "mastermind" of the 9-11 attacks, really captured? Robert Fisk, Middle East correspondent for the Independent explains how it could easily be a lie... http://www.robert-fisk.com/articles176.htm If you oppose a corrupt invasion of Iraq by the U.S. and Britain, speak up before it's too late! Now on to musical matters... First, a quick announcement: This Monday, March 10 in San Francisco...
