Analysis
War in the Middle East - Interview
With Chomsky:
In Depth Discussion on Israel/Palestine -
Ben-Ami observed that "in practice, the Oslo agreements were
founded on a neo-colonialist basis, on a life of dependence of one on the
other forever." With these goals, the Clinton-Rabin-Peres agreements
were designed to impose on the Palestinians "almost total dependence
on Israel," creating "an extended colonial situation,"
which is expected to be the "permanent basis" for "a
situation of dependence." April 02, 2002

Afghanistan -
A Historical Overview
To
understand the present war that is taking place in Afghanistan, one must
take into consideration the factors that have shaped the history of this
tragic land. Doctor Zayar gives an overview of the history of Afghanistan
from the middle ages to the present day. (October 2001)
The Fall of Kabul
- Events inside Afghanistan
are moving quickly. So quickly that it is difficult to keep up with the
lightening changes in the situation. The fall of Kabul came more quickly
than anyone could forsee. Washington hoped that it would be able to hold
back the Northern Alliance's advance until it had succeeded in putting
together a coalition of non-Taliban forces (read: American stooges) to
take over the country. However, in war, events cannot be directed like an
orchestra under the conductor's baton. Alan Woods explains how this
affects the situation on the ground in Afghanistan. (November 13, 2001)
