Subject: On The Brink Of War
The Atlantic widens, Nato fragments, the EU splits - and millions around
the world get ready to protest war with Iraq on 15 February. In a
pivotal week, voices from France, Germany and America on
www.openDemocracy.net. Plus an impassioned letter from our editor to
the peace movement and the hawks: we must be against both war on Iraq
and Saddam's dictatorship.
Also: the prospects for Iraq after Saddam, Fiat after Agnelli, and the
world after Davos and Porto Alegre.
NO TO WAR, NO TO SADDAM
The US war on Saddam must be opposed in a way that refuses any comfort
to his criminal regime. This requires a politics of peace as well as a
movement in its favour, argues ANTHONY BARNETT.

SHADOW BOXING: IRAQ BETWEEN PAST AND FUTURE
The Iraqi regime is on the run. Turkey, Iran and Syria are circling. The
opposition is preparing. The Americans are scheming. The people are
waiting. Will Iraq survive upheaval, and in what form? LAURA SANDYS on
the inside.

IN PLACE OF WAR, OPEN UP IRAQ
How to be against war without giving succour to Saddam? The experience
of the 1980s peace movement who supported freedom in the Soviet bloc
offers vital lessons, argues MARY KALDOR

AFGHANISTAN STILL BURNS
The momentum of war on Iraq builds, but the standoff in Korea and

planners, says PAUL ROGERS
