[Green-Activist] Iraq update: one death is one too many

[Roy Garner]

Dear activists,
Warweariness affects us all, as we contemplate more pain from the 
merchants of death.  It might look as though the times are a-changing, 
with mass consciousness breaking out everywhere on the bleak 
predictions of climate change and the looming energy crisis (Is it too 
late to do anything, even if we start the environmental revolution 
now?).
Political change is already turning the tide in the US, while 
Australia's faithful-unto-death Johnny Howard still fiddles on the 
sidelines with his dark predictions of anarchy if troops are withdrawn 
from Iraq.
But could anything be worse, say, if Saddam Hussein were still king of 
the pile?
The environmental degradation and destruction of civilian 
infrastructure continues ... (www.greenparty.org.uk/.../2003/

And Iraq remains as deadly as ever for journalists ...

So, as you unfold your crisp morning paper and contemplate your 
scrambled eggs, spare a thought for those absent from the table.
