Syria Is Becoming Obama’s Iraq By Shamus Cooke
In perfect Bush-like fashion, President Obama has invented a bogus pretense for military intervention in yet another Middle East country. The president’s claim that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons — and thus crossed Obama’s imaginary “red line” — will likely fool very few Americans, who already distrust their president after the massive NSA… Continue reading

Invasion of Syria: Obama and U.S. Military Divided over Action? By Shamus Cooke
Has Syria crossed the “red line” that warrants a U.S. military invasion? Has it not? The political establishment in the United States seems at odds over itself.

How Obama Chose War Over Peace in Syria By Shamus Cooke

Humanitarian Coverup: Why is Obama Silent Over the New Congo War? By Shamus Cooke
The last Congo war that ended in 2003 killed 5.4 million people, the worst humanitarian disaster since World War II.

Who is the Real Opposition in Egypt? By Shamus Cooke
The revolution in Egypt erupted like all revolutions do, from the bottom up. It was unemployment and high food prices that propelled working and poor people into action. Now, the media reports that the ‘opposition’ in Egypt is a group of well-to-do folks who have very little in common with the poor of Egypt. Continue reading

Iran’s Coming Revolution: For Civil Rights Or Beyond?
Playing with revolution, however, is a lot like playing with fire — both can quickly get out of control. In the case of Iran this means that the abstract demand for democracy — coming from the Iranian opposition — can soon be overrun by more concrete, ‘radical’ demands. Continue reading
