>Breaking the Silence:
>While President Bush refers to the US attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq as 
>two 'great victories', Pilger asks"Victories over whom, and for what 
>purpose?"  Pilger describes Afghanistan as a country "more devastated than 
>anything I have seen since Pol Pot's Cambodia".  He finds that Al-Qaida has 
>not been defeated and that the Taliban is re-emerging.  And of the 
>"victory" in Iraq he asks: "is this Bush's Vietnam?"
>"Astonishing... should be required viewing in every home, school and 
>office"  The Guardian (UK).
>
>Palestine is Still the Issue:
>In a series of extraordinary interviews with both Palestinians and 
>Israelis, John Pilger weaves together the issue of Palestine.  He speaks to 
>the families of suicide bombers and their victims.  He sees the humiliation 
>of Palestinians imposed on them at myriad checkpoints and with a permit 
>system not dissimilar to apartheid South Africa's infamous pass laws.  He 
>goes into the refugee camps and meets children who he says, "no longer 
>dream like other children, or if they do, it is about death."
>Continually asking for the solution, John Pilger says that it is time to 
>bring justice, as well as peace, to Palestine.
