Coalition of the Coerced; IPS Releases Report on U.S. Arm-twisting Over Iraq War - "As U.S. officials intensify their arm-twisting offensive to gather support for a war on Iraq, the Institute for Policy Studies is releasing a new study today that examines the specific levers of U.S. military, economic, and political power.
The study, entitled "Coalition of the Willing or Coalition of the Coerced?," looks at how this leverage applies to each current member of the UN Security Council. It also analyzes the power the U.S. government exerts over the broader group of countries that the Bush Administration has dubbed the "Coalition of the Willing." Although the Administration refuses to release a list of the members of this coalition, the authors compiled a list of 34 nations cited in press reports as supporters of the U.S. position on Iraq.

* Foreign Policy in Focus - Focus on Iraq
* Project Against the Present Danger; Standing in defense of international law, international cooperation, and multilateralism.
* Interhemispheric Resource Center; Promoting citizen-based agendas for global affairs.

Human need, not corporate greed ... without justice, there can be no peace. That's the meme stringing these items together.
