Paul Craig Roberts on Iraq and Afghanistan Wars

Welcome to Gitmo North

Anthrax War and the Peace Prize Winner

by Scott Creighton As the Peace Prize winner ranted on about how wonderful and necessary it is to continue the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive, unilateral, elective warfare for “preventative” reasons against nations that “might” someday pose a threat of some kind (existential maybe?) or not, his administration had just refused to sign on to the Land Mine Ban treaty ensuring [...]
