What evidence is there to justify western 'fears', reported by the Financial Times, that Syria and Iran are developing the capacity to build atomic weapons?

Here's what I do support: I support them coming home. I support peace, and I beg any young person reading this who's thinking of joining the armed forces to please reconsider.

The main architect of the drone policy that has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of innocents, including 176 children in Pakistan alone, is Obama's pick for CIA director: John Brennan.

The idea that someone should be disqualified from service in the Obama administration because of involvement in extremist Bush terrorism polices seems quaint and obsolete.

Soldiers are being sent to kill and be killed in Afghanistan as "human shields" for politicians who would rather the killing and dying continue than have to admit the war is lost.

The military budget could be slashed by 50% and nobody would know the difference: the public in the US barely knows there are wars going on.

The United States and Arab dictators say Iran is the gravest security threat in the Middle East: the Arab populations have a very different view.

As always, the US - through the very policies of aggression and militarism justified in the name of terrorism - is creating the very "terrorists" those polices are supposedly designed to combat.

If these were the actions of any other country on earth, we would be able to see them clearly for what they are: war crimes and crimes against humanity of the highest order.

Relatives of three American drone victims are suing the US government, alleging they were illegally killed in violation of international human rights law and the US Constitution.
