Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

After days of protests in the Tibetan areas of Gansu Province which saw the death of scores of Tibetans, the Chinese government has sent thousands of troops on foot, trucks and helicopters into the region. Through public notices pasted on walls and broadcast over loud speakers, authorities have issued an ultimatum in Gansu's Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (TAP) similar to that issued in Lhasa days ago, demanding all who participated in protests to turn themselves in by March 25. The notice says those who turn themselves in will be treated leniently, but those who do not will be treated harshly—as will those who shelter them. House-to-house raids are already underway in the TAP. (TCHRD, March 21)
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
