In our current era of permanent war, time to remember Muhammad Ali, who in June 1967, was convicted for refusing to be conscripted into the US Army, saying, "No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger".

When it comes to how many wars Americans can fight at once, Obama is reaching for the record books. The United States is now involved in no less than six wars: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, and what used to be called the Global War on Terror. 

Huge US military bases lasting far beyond the announced exit dates show that behind all the talk of withdrawals lies this dirty little secret: the Yanks aren't going home.

Your actions in Iraq and Afghanistan don't make us freer here at home, they engender the anger and rage that culminates in terrorist threats, owing to what you are doing to people over there.

"It is difficult to see how any open-minded person who doesn’t directly profit from US wars could support those wars after reading this book."

On January 2009, Obama said: "I don't want to be ambiguous about this. We are going to close Guantánamo." He hasn't, and British resident Shaker Aamer is still there.

Those who voted for Barack Obama in 2008, expecting a shift in defense policy, must face a sad fact: we now have Bush Plus.

Obama says he "will not tolerate aggression across borders". How then to explain US troops at war Iraq and Afghanistan and missiles and bombs rained down on Pakistan, Yemen, Libya and elsewhere?

The BBC's Andrew Marr covered Osama Bin Laden, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Israel, but there are so many other things he could have asked Obama, but didn't.

The facts and videos showing how the Obama who promised "hope" and "change" when he was running for president became a more-of-the-same president once elected.

Like the story of Wyatt Earp, the facts behind the gunfight at Bin Laden's hideaway in Abbottabad are dubious at best or simply untrue.

Barack Obama ruled out a drone bombing of Osama bin Laden to save civilian life. But that doesn't stop him sanctioning drone warfare in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya and elsewhere.

The US cannot win this war in Afghanistan. The sooner it gets out, the better. Until it does, says Tariq Ali, it will remain dependent on Pakistan.

Now that Osama bin Laden is dead, the US has less excuse than ever to continue warring against terrorism. But we are offered no sign that the warring will subside.

To suggest that "justice has been done", as President Obama did, seems perverse. This was not justice, it was an extra-judicial execution. If you shoot a man twice in the head you do not find him guilty. You find him dead.

The killing of the al-Qaida leader either means the end of the 'war on terror' or more Bin Ladens rising to continue the fight, drawing sustenance not from his death, but the Anglo-American policy of endless war.
