Subject: PAUL ROGERS: IS CLEAN WAR A MYTH?
Before the assault on the Baghdad regime our international security
columnist Paul Rogers argues in www.openDemocracy.net that the US's war aims
and weapons guarantee a heavy human cost - and predicts its regional
strategy will create a backlash.
Gil Loescher & Arthur Helton in their regular humanitarian monitor, look at
the possible consequences in Turkey.
From West Africa and elsewhere in the great continent, stories of suffering
and hope from Caroline Moorehead, Victor Youmbi, and Robert Wade.
THE ASSASSINATION OF ZORAN DJINDJIC
The murder of Serbia's prime minister on 12 March has created a dangerous
political vacuum in a country still trying to recover from a decade of war,
poverty, and unrest, says DEJAN DJOKIC.

THE MYTH OF A CLEAN WAR - AND ITS REAL MOTIVE

crisis.

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BUSH
