War and genocide are grouped here because they essentially have the
same source. Both arise from divisional hatred, finding expression in
violence organized by political leadership. That same leadership very
often exploits and encourages that hatred in the first place.
This rather comprehensive site includes news and
opinion on various trouble spots, and how warmongers across the political
spectrum in America have been making things worse and more dangerous.
Obviously, a site most interested in America, and a site which is pro-America,
but with a vision of an American nation which is "not Rome."
Unique, definitive, up-to-date resource of alternative information
and opinion on current conflicts, looming conflicts, and the anti-war
movement,
run
by libertarians,
with contributors of many kinds. Often features excellent columns.
Excellent resources on the killing of
Armenians during WWI, still denied by many people in Turkey.
The Cambodian Genocide Program at Yale University, part of the Genocide
Studies Program, contains a great deal of unearthed and archived information,
with documents, photographs,
both victim and Khmer Rouge biographies, and other varied content concerning
the issue — probably more than you will ever want to see.
This is the home page for Human Rights Watch's campaign against the
use of child soldiers. Particularly when the cause is desperate and
needs recruits, children are taken as soldiers or modern 'comfort women'
in many conflicts around the world; children are easily manipulated
into joining, and very often they can be conscripted forcefully. They
also tend to be inexperienced and weak, so they are far more likely
to be casualties than adults. Even if they survive they will be emotionally
scarred. Get some information here on this little-known, even-darker
side of war.
The Peace Pledge Union publishes profiles of modern conflicts by country,
and other interactive war maps and information.
