"The idea of direct invasion is the greatest threat to Saddam. It avoids the problems of securing local allies, inside and outside Iraq, which bedevil any indirect approach to get rid of him. But it has one immense disadvantage from the US point of view ...if the US invades Iraq to install its own government it will be taking direct physical control of an area containing more than half the world’s oil reserves. It will look like the founding of a new American empire based on physical force and will be deeply resented ...It would outrage the Arabs at a moment when the Israel-Palestine con

Time magazine listed him as one of its "100 People Who Shape Our World." Newsweek featured him on its cover under the headline "How Al-Sadr May Control U.S. Fate in Iraq." Paul Bremer denounced him as a "Bolshevik Islamist" and ordered that he be captured "dead or alive." Who is Muqtada al-Sadr, and why is he so vital to the future of Iraq and, arguably, the entire Middle East?In this compellingly readable account, prize-winning journalist Patrick Cockburn tells the story of Muqtada’s rise to become the leader of Iraq’s poor Shi’ites and the resistance to the occupation.

A compelling, masterly portrait of a country revaged by foreign occupation. In February 2003, Patrick Cockburn secretly crossed the Tigris river from Syria into Iraq just before the US/British invasion, and has covered the war ever since. In The Occupation, he provides a vivid and disturbing picture of a country in turmoil, and the dangers and privations endured by its people. The Occupation explores the mosaic of communities in Iraq, the US and Britain’s failure to understand the country they were invading and how this led to fatal mistakes. Cockburn, who has been visiting Iraq since

As Cyprus prepares to join the European Union in 2004, the pressure is on to resolve the long-standing partition between the internationally accepted Greek Cypriot Republic of Cyprus and the still unrecognized Turkish Cypriot Republic of North Cyprus. Cypriot women on both sides of the Green Line have been involved in a remarkable bi-communal initiative, largely using the Internet, aimed at overcoming both communal segregation and the subordinate position of women. Their activities--as documented and contextualized in this book--add, for the first time, a gender dimension into our understandin

What is the importance of the notion ’human being’? The contributors to this collection have radically different approaches, some accepting and others denying its validity for a proper understanding of what a person is and for our ethical thought about each other. Contributors on both sides of the divide eloquently defend their views in ways that stand in sharp contrast to some current work in moral philosophy and philosophy of mind. Epistemological and theological issues are also raised in the provocative and wide-ranging discussions stimulated by the volume’s theme.
