The US is a Leading Terrorist State  :  Information Clearing House - ICH

An
international poll found that the United
States is ranked far in the lead as “the
biggest threat to world peace today,” far
ahead of second-place Pakistan, with no one
else even close.




Imagine that the lead article in Pravda reported
a study by the KGB that reviews major
terrorist operations run by the Kremlin
around the world, in an effort to determine
the factors that led to their success or
failure, finally concluding that
unfortunately successes were rare so that
some rethinking of policy is in order. 
Suppose that the article went on to quote
Putin as saying that he had asked the KGB to
carry out such inquiries in order to find
cases of “financing and supplying arms to an
insurgency in a country that actually worked
out well.  And they couldn’t come up with
much.” So he has some reluctance about
continuing such efforts.

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.
