www.streamtime.org: "Streamtime is a project of Radio Reedflute in collaboration with Rastasoft, developed with artists and activists from Iraq and elsewhere. Initiated by Dutch journalist and media activist Jo van der Spek, Streamtime is a loose network of media activists dedicated to assist local media to get connected. Streamtime uses old and new media for the production of content and networks in the fields of media, arts, culture and activism in crisis areas, like Iraq.

Streamtime is first of all a gesture of solidarity: it may take the form of a campaign, a work of collaborative art, a current of unheard sounds, unspeakable words and unseen imaginations. Very concretely it is a handshake in cyberspace, a hanging garden for dialogue and cooperation, generated by a sense of solidarity, hospitality and a desire to communicate and relate. These are the leading principles. The flow of Streamtime is determined by shared needs, skills, knowledge and experiences of all involved. The design should be guided by openness, free publishing (copy left), easy access, low-to-no literacy and multi-linguality. Open source software will be preferred and stimulated. The Web is a powerful and accessible structure, but web content stays fragmented. Streamtime wants to research, indicate, point to amazing stories of people that, against all odds, are building a new Iraq. We want to help break the"

Hate is growing in the eastern world started by the the funny pictures of mohamed a danish newspaper has printed. The people in these countries feeling harmed by western states but is that a right to fight against american soldiers, burn buildings, take hostages or other radical actions? Another question is if in Europe or Amerika such reactions are possible through blaming Jesus or other religios symbols?

War against terror

2006-02-08T10:00:00.000Z

War against terror is really bad.
Its terrible to kill people without any reason.
The people who were killed have nothing done so there is no reason to kill them.
Many children are killed and the terrorist who are the real enemys are still alive.

War against terror

war against terror still become popular since a plane crushed into the twin towers of the world trade centre on semptember 11th 2001. Up from then, the us-politicans spread a worldwide anti-terror programm. The main enemy is the muslim world, especially the fundamentalists. They are organized in groups and want to harm the usa, because they see it as their enemy. But also in Britain, a close partner to the usa, the fundamentalists planned and started assaults against civil poeple. Al Qaeda, the most famous organisation, and it's head osama bin laden are the enemys nr.1 of us resident bush.
The scare for other assaults because of religious differents and also the possible lost of oil sources, the most imported raw material, the us-politicans pefere war to solve these "problems".
I think this war isn't the right way to find a solution for this problem. On the other hand i see with horror what is happening today. Muslims burning down embassys and flags of western countries becaus of the publication of cartoons about the Islam.

"Best-selling author and Muslim dissident Ibn Warraq argues that freedom of expression is our western heritage and we must defend it against attacks from totalitarian societies. If the west does not stand in solidarity with the Danish, he argues, then the Islamization of Europe will have begun in earnest."

Should the War on Terrorism Target Iraq?
Implementing a Bush Doctrine on Deterrence

http://www.brookings.edu/comm/policybriefs/pb93.htm

The American debate where the fight against terrorism should go next. So the President of the USA make war against Iraq. He must do something, because his image is very bad.
So Iraq has bad carts. The leader, Saddam Hussein, threats his people and his neigbors.
The USA use millitary power and targeting Iraq.

Iraq and terrorism

The hardest example for terrorism in the last time was the terror attack on september 11,2001.There,two plains were flying directly into the twin towers.in this time they were lots of people in the towers and after half an hour both towers lost structural integrity and fell down killing almost 3,000 people within.
After this attack the USA was shocked and hopless.now the word terrorism has since this date a new meaning.the people all over the world pay more attention and you can really say they have panic.since this time george W. bush is fighting against terrorism all over the world.the opinions about this are very different because it costs lots of lifes.now what to do?Build a new world trade center?is it safer than the last?
an other question is:can you combat terrorism or is this the reason for the next terrorism?

Terror since 11. September 2001

2006-01-18T14:25:00.000Z

11.September 2001, planes crashed the World Trade Center, 3000 People died;
since 2002, terrorism in Afghanistan, thousands died;
11.April 2002, Truck exploded in Djerba Tunisia, 21People died;
12. October 2002, bomb in Disco in Bali Indonesia, 202 People died;
since May 2003, terrorism in Iraq, tentousands died;
12.May 2003, bomb in Riad Saudi-Arabia, about 20 People died;
16. May 2003, bomb in Casablanca Marocco, 33 People died;
8. November 2003, bomb in Riad Saudi-Arabia, about 20 people died;
15. and 20. November 2003, carbombs in Istambul Turkey, 57 people died;
6. Febrary 2004, bomb in Moskau Russia, 41 people died;
1. September 2004, people were kidnapped in Beslan Russia, 330 People died;
11.Mach 2004 ,bombs in Madrid, 191 Poeple died;
7. July 2005, bombs in London, 56 People died and over 700 People were injured;

These are the terrorism assaults since the assault of the World Trade Center and there were a lot of assaults bevor. So what people do these things? They shuld be killed, but when you want to kill them you kill most a lot of civilists and that is not good, so what can we do? I think we can much do, but we can't make war!!!!

2006-01-18T14:18:00.000Z

iraq + terrorism

Terrorism, this word has got a very new meaning for people all over the world since the 11. September 2001, when terrorists attackt the twin towers with plains. About 3000 Peaoples were killed in this act, which shockt the whole world.

Since this time, George W. Bush is fighting cruel against the terror. Today the world is looking mainly on the iraq war. It begins when americans found (wanted to find) nuclear weapons in iraq which were forbidden. But Bush's critics say, that he's only interessted in the oil, the iraq has!

The main problem with the terrorists is, that this people often live in other countries but work and do anything for their mother land and their religion. They get a special training and weapons from leeders of their groups. A popular terroristic group for example is Al-Kaida. The leaders like Osama Bin Laden push their follower to do terroristic acts.

The Green Side: "As you have no doubt been watching, we have had our hands full around Fallujah. It would seem as if the final reckoning is coming. The city has been on a consistent down hill spiral since we were ordered out in April. It's siren call for extremists and criminals has only increased steadily and the instability and violence that radiates out of the town has expanded exponentially. If there is another city in the world that contains more terrorists, I would be surprised."

THE MESOPOTAMIAN: "After appeasement of Fallujah it is absolutely imperative to turn attention to the southern approaches to Baghdad. Armed bands have effectively severed the road leading south through the triangle of Latifiya-Iskandariya-Yousifiya. This is a belt separating the south from Baghdad. The demography of this belt is characterized by tribes who had very close links to the defunct regime. Awful crimes are being perpetrated on these roads.
