Over the past few weeks we've been organizing the accumulated material on the site into cross-referenced categories. It's a big job as there have been an enormous number of articles, documents, forum items posted here over the past 9 months or so. We will be adding new categories and refining the current ones over the next few weeks. Click on the links below to see what we've done so far.

Introductory Blurb
The current anti-war movement developed in the absence of serious discussion and analysis. Opposition to a US initiated war in Iraq was more of an intuitive reaction than a thought-out response.
If the US is doing it, then it's bad
This has been the basic rule-of-thumb for as long as most left-wingers can remember - and it has generally worked quite well. But does it point us in the right direction with regard to US policy in Iraq and the Middle East?
That's what this web-site is about. Our aim in setting it up is to initiate a serious debate about whether it is really left-wing and progressive to oppose the US initiated war against the Ba'th regime in Iraq.
