Israel's nuclear weapons and Iran's and the Arabs' call for a nuclear free zone Iran has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and Iran has repeatedly called for a nuclear-free Middle East. Guess who opposes that idea? The United States. Guess why? Israel is the only country in the Middle East that really does have nuclear weapons. Israel has also refused to sign the non-proliferation treaty and refuses to allow international inspections. And it is Israel that views Iran as a threat.
But in the perverted world of Washington, a Muslim country that has signed the n...

It costs Washington $1.6 billion US monthly to keep Karzai in power. Without the foreign troops' bayonets, Karzai's little puppet regime would quickly be swept away."...

The Slow Creep of Israel’s annexation of Palestine First they were told that they were building a wall between the two populations for the protection of both.
….. Then they were told them that the wall on their land was necessary for the protection of Israel.

The War is the War Crime: Abused Iraqis, Abused Americans This was a war to transcend all wars a war fought not for crass interests or crude motives, but for freedom and democracy. Or so we were told. Once this grand narrative was felled by reality, however, the story of its basic actors was twisted to meet new requirements: since it could not possibly be that the war aims were themselves corrupt, it must be the Iraqis the supposed recipients of liberation, and the American soldiers the deliverers of that liberation who were flawed. This twi...
