war is terror

After the Vietnam war defeat and the slaughter of 2 million Vietnamese the US left without admitting the crime it committed. LBJ was so ashamed of himself, didn't run for presidency for second time. Unfortunately for Iraq, the US fell under Bush who didn't experience war nor did he litsen the generals including Shenseki who advocated larger force to stabilize Iraq. Now after two and half years, Bush is told by Iraqis to go home in shame. I wonder who benefited from this illegal invasion and occupation. for those of us who called the invasion would be a disaster for the US, Iraq and the region, it bear fruit in a way we all expected.

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
