Media Lens: Damascene Conversions – Isis, Assad And The Bombing Of Iraq
This time last year, Western corporate media were focused on a single, grave threat to human life and civilised values.

Blair embodies corruption and war. He must be sacked By Seumas Milne
Egypt is…central to the Middle East conflict, and its government is in effect an Israeli ally.

BLOWBACK IN IRAQ: The Rise of ISIS By Michael Faulkner
It is now more than eleven years since the unprovoked invasion of Iraq by the USA and Britain.

Tony Blair whitewashes imperialism’s role in the Middle East By Jordan Shilton
Between 1997 and 2007, Blair led a government that oversaw a policy of imperialist militarism abroad and attacks on democratic rights domestically. Under his premiership, Britain took part in wars in Kosovo (1999), Sierra Leone (2000), Afghanistan (2001) and, most infamously, Iraq (2003). His claim that the roots of conflict today lie in extremist religion… Continue reading
