Daily links to lefty internationalist articles with a British bent

Selves and Others.Daily links to leftist internationalist articles, with a British bent. One neat thing is that the site builds pages for its contributors. You like Naomi Klein? Arundhati Roy? Sidney Blumenthal? George Monbiot? Andreas Whittam Smith? Michael Moore? Mickey Z? Seymour Hersh? It's like they've each got their own newspaper.

I appreciate the convenient roster.

Arundhati Roy:

But when you look at the massive amount of violence that America is perpetrating in Iraq, I don’t know that I’m in a position to tell Iraqis that you must fight a pristine, feminist, democratic, secular, non-violent war. I can’t say. I just feel that that resistance in Iraq is our battle too and we have to support it.

That's great, iffley, it's just that the last thing I read by Monbiot made me want to slit my wrists then and there.

But thanks.

Thanks iffley, though any link to this website will now be discounted by some as untrustworthy partisan babble, as Guardian links and indiemedia links are.

re: 'resistance in Iraq'

The view from the ground:

'The Americans, with their heavy use of force, have helped turn something quite small into a popular uprising in some places.'
