Mali, Algeria, Libya: the real reason Britain signed up for war on Africa

Mali, Algeria, Libya: the real reason Britain signed up for war on Africa

The truth behind the 'war on terror' is that it is part of Western powers' imperialistic quest to secure natural resource reserves for their corporations.

We didn't stop the Iraq war ten years ago. But we transformed British politics

We didn't stop the Iraq war ten years ago. But we transformed British politics

The 2 million of us who marched against the Iraq invasion 10 years ago created a force that is still shaping politics and society.

The US-Israeli cyber war on Iran has triggered an unregulated cyber-arms race with governments, intelligence agencies and militaries all developing malicious code to deploy across the world.

The war in Afghanistan will cost £20 billion over the next four years -- exactly the amount that the government is trying to cut from the National Health Service through 'savings'.

After attacking over 20 countries in the past 30 years, the US addiction for war shows no sign of abating, with Afghanistan still raging and Syria and Iran looming on the horizon.

Lib Dem MP Nick Harvey confirmed he considered his sacking as defence minister was linked to mounting speculation of a pre-emptive strike on Iran and the expectation that UK forces would be drawn in.

Support is flooding in for Paul Flynn, the MP who on 18 September 2012 was expelled from parliament for saying the government was lying about Afghanistan.

Critics of the Libya intervention warned that dropping bombs in a country and killing civilians, would produce blowback in the form of those who would then want to attack the US.

Why do they hate us, many Americans asked after 9/11, oblivious to their country's role in decades of coups, tyranny, sanctions regimes and occupations across the Middle East.

MP Paul Flynn says government ministers are using British soldiers as human shields for ministers' reputations by sending them to die in vain in a war in Afghanistan which is lost.

Nato strategy for leaving Afghanistan by 2015 is in disarray but David Cameron is still sending British soldiers to kill and die in a war that is both pointless and lost.

This bizarre but very powerful sect holds that American domination of the world, militarily and economically, is part of the divinely ordained structure of the universe.
