Bush Asked Blair to Back Iraq War Nine Days After 9-11
According to a recent article by the former British Ambassador to Washington, George W. Bush asked Tony Blair to support an invasion of Iraq at a White House dinner just nine days after the September 11 attacks. In the 25,000 word account published in Vanity Fair, Sir Christopher Meyer describes Tony Blair as agreeing, but expressing a desire to "concentrate on ousting the Taliban and restoring peace" in Afghanistan. Meyer adds that Blair also "said nothing to demur" when the prospect of an invasion was brought up.

Having worked closely with the victims of oppression in Palestine and Haiti, having seen and heard for myself the ways in which powerful nations have inflicted violence and poverty upon millions of people, and having compared mainstream and independent media accounts of these crucial realities, I can affirm that it is only through independent media like The Dominion that the public will acquire the information and analysis they need in order to work toward intelligent and constructive solutions.

About the Dominion
The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
