The deadly assaults come as Iraq marks ten years since the coalition, led by the US and Britain, invaded the country with their ‘freedom and democracy’ mission. Historian and political campaigner, Tariq Ali, says it’s surprising that no-one has been held responsible for creating havoc in Iraq.

RT does a god job in explaining this war. I wish that all cable companies carried RT but that wont happen any time soon.
Empire of chaos. Covert tyranny. Ethnic extermination. Sanctioned ecocide. Heritage mayhem. Corporate anarchy.
The “government” we deserve? This is Hell on Earth.
What’s a heaven for? Tony Blair and his faithful friends evidently.
So, who the hell are “we?” Us (as in human beings) or “the elect, US cabalists?”
By the way, “faith” in what? In deranged narcissistic cognitive prejudices obviously ~ insidiously packaged, spun and “marketed” to everyone possible.
In short, this is the corrupt exercise of privilege to institutionally poison the global polity.
It is not just an abuse of the public mind, it is a crime against the spirit of mankind.
Courts of “justice?!”
