Re: [NetBehaviour] Fwd: The conscience of the people speaks

Hi Michael and all,

"This week, George Bush used his presidential veto to block a bill on
stem cell research, saying he couldn't support the 'taking of innocent
human life'. In Iraq, six civilians are killed by a US air strike, while
casualties in Lebanon and Israel mount. George Bush (and Tony Blair)
oppose UN calls for an immediate ceasefire." Independent 22nd July 06.

The front page of the Independent today says it all really…

>>1) THE CONSCIENCE OF THE PEOPLE
>>As Israel orders the whole population of southern

>>stop now. Virtually every government in the world is
>>calling for an immediate ceasefire, with the only
>>exceptions being George Bush and his slavishly
>>obedient servant Tony Blair. Everyone knows who the

>>said, ""We really do have to ask whether some
>>western governments are catching up with the
>>consciences of their people."
>>
>>Today, 22 July 2006, that conscience of the people
>>will be heard in emergency demonstrations all over

>>across Britain, the protests calling for an end to

>>2) ISRAEL'S CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
>>Writer Dahr Jamail details the international laws

>>it contains within itself the accumulated evil of
>>the whole. This is exactly what Israel is doing in
>>Lebanon,aided and abetted by the leaders of the US

>>Writer Alexander Cockburn writes:
>>"So here we are, 24 years after Israel did its best
>>to destroy Lebanon in 1982, here it is doing it all
>>over again. Since Israel can't endure the idea of
>>any just settlement for Palestinians, it's the only
>>thing it knows how to do. Call Lebanon a
>>terror-haven and bomb it back to the stone age. Call
>>Gaza a terror-haven and bomb its power plant, first
>>stop on the journey back to the stone age. Bomb
>>Damascus. Bomb Teheran.
>>
>>Of course they won't destroy Hezbollah. Every time
>>they kill another Lebanese family, they multiply
>>hatred of Israel and support for Hezbollah. They've
