Bombing Iran
The Lies Of Hiroshima Are The Lies Of Today
Bombing Iran
If and when the United States and Israel bomb Iran (marking the sixth country so blessed by Barack Obama) and this sad old world has a new daily horror show to look at on their TV sets, and we then discover that Iran was not actually building nuclear weapons after all, the American mainstream media and the benighted American mind will ask: “Why didn’t they tell us that? Did they want us to bomb them?”

Democracy’s Not For Dummies
Under the guise of fighting terrorism a paranoid and secretive U.S. government has several hundred thousand employees working with Top Secret clearance. How can anyone but an idiot expect to keep secrets when hundreds of thousands of people have access to them? And with so many top secretly watching one another watch one another, how did billions of dollars suddenly vanish from an Iraqi slush fund?
Dismembering Afghanistan
Wars are rarely lost in a single encounter; Defeat is almost always more complex than that. The United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies have lost the war in Afghanistan, but not just because they failed in the battle for Marjah or decided that discretion was the better part of valor in Kandahar. They lost the war because they should never have invaded in the first place; because they never had a goal that was achievable; because their blood and capital are finite
Truth of a scandalous war
And we all thought we had read and said all that needed to be read or said on Afghanistan! We have heard so much on the shenanigans of the “coalition of the willing” over the past few years that nothing seems to shock us anymore. Yet the shock and awe of the Wikileaks disclosures takes your breath away.

The US isn’t leaving Iraq, it’s rebranding the occupation
For most people in Britain and the US, Iraq is already history. Afghanistan has long since taken the lion’s share of media attention, as the death toll of Nato troops rises inexorably. Controversy about Iraq is now almost entirely focused on the original decision to invade: what’s happening there in 2010 barely registers.
New Dawn, Old Story
More than seven years later, Operation Iraqi Freedom has yielded exactly none of the menaces we were warned about and terrified with, though sales of plastic sheeting and duct tape did go through the roof. Almost 5,000 U.S. troops have been killed, some 50,000 more have been brutally wounded, and more than a million Iraqi civilians have been slaughtered and maimed. Millions more have been displaced, their homes destroyed and their lives ruined.
