Oh you are so right. Excuse me it has just gone 7am (no excuse really). I just realised my mistake and came here to 'clarify' (aka to try and squirm out of that one).Heh heh.
:-)
By 'world peace' I meant that they are fairly much pacifist. So they are going to focus on articles etc that talk about the horrors of war, rather than justifications for war.
By 'preventing people dying of preventible diseases' I meant that they think this should be done even if it means the US (and other countries) drug corporations lose money in the process, rather than talking about how to raise money so third world countries can afford to pay the prices which are high because of intellectual copyright laws etc.
They try and raise awareness of issues to do with global justice
(Some people think you should just worry about justice within a country)I guess they are fairly left wing...
Er... Is there a comperable source that is trying to raise awareness of more right wing issues?
Because that would be interesting... To compare...
