Featured this week: OPPOSE US/UN WAR ON IRAQ!

On October 8, US Secretary of State Colin Powell hinted that a
"compromise" was close to being reached within the UN Security Council
on a resolution authorising a US-led war on Iraq. Green Left Weekly
explains why there is no justification for such a war, with or without
UN approval.
