Britain’s close alliance with the United States has become nothing but one-way traffic
by Richard Norton-Taylor
A senior British military commander in the invasion of Iraq said the other day that Donald Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary, should be tried for war crimes. He was speaking in private and, I assume, did not mean to be taken literally. But there was no mistaking the anger in his voice.

by Paul Findley
Because of the gross, longstanding bias in U.S. policy in the Middle East, the world teeters on the precipice of widening conflict focused on religion— sadly, unnecessarily, dangerously. Christendom versus Islam.
