Adam Yauch's prophetic words on terrorism and US anti-Muslim hatred

Speaking on national live TV in 1998, the Beastie Boys Adam Yauch, who has died aged 47, spoke prophetically about the consequences of America's wars on Muslim countries and Islamophobia.

America's right to kill children anywhere in the world: what's morality got to do with it?

America's right to kill children anywhere in the world: what's morality got to do with it?

We’ve all been trained that the phrase "collateral damage" cleanses and justifies this and washes it all way: yes, it’s quite terrible, but innocent people die in wars; that’s just how it is.

However much they may pretend there are stark differences in policy over national security and world affairs, there is no Democratic or Republican party, there is only a single war party.

Sat 19 May 1pm NO TO NATO Protest US Embassy London

Protest to coincide with demonstrations against the NATO conference in Chicago, when America and
its warmongering allies will take decisions on Afghanistan, Iran, Syria etc.  Details...

How to explain the type of acts that have made the USA infamous over the years which most Americans -- as well as most Afghans, Iraqis, Iranians etc -- would not commit.

Since the end of the cold war NATO has become much more aggressive and its policies are increasingly influenced by the the thirst for profit of huge weapons-manufacturing firms.

While Obama uses his drone-strike killing spree as a sign of his toughness in this year's election campaign, people across the US and around the world are organizing to rein in the drones.

The ghost of Osama bin Laden tells President Obama, “No one has furthered al-Qaeda's basic mission of weakening the US more than the rulers of America themselves: George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and you.”

Obama and Karzai signed a treaty for more years of war in Afghanistan, just like in Iraq -- the difference being that, the Afghan deal doesn't include an end date.

Syria has become the focal point in the Middle East region, as the democratic, anti-imperialist organisations that led the peaceful protest movement initially have been eclipsed by Nato-backed forces.

It is wrong to reduce Israel to Netanyahu: its ordinary citizens don't want war with Iran, and the country's top spooks and soldiers are queueing up to tell us why.

Ex-soldier Joe Glenton thinks that concientious objection to the war in Afghanistan is not only a soldier's right but a moral obligation.
