Danger of Nuclear War between India and Pakistan

Sometimes, situation becomes critical in relation to Syrian war and sometimes, between India and Pakistan. There is a co-relationship of the US-led West’s double standards and double game regarding human rights, terrorism and so on. But, this dual strategy, particularly regarding India and Pakistan in wake of the unresolved issue of Kashmir, including the Middle East in connection with the...

Slapping Terror With Lawsuits

“Justice” may be a somewhat misplaced concept as far as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) is concerned. US President Barack Obama vetoed it. Yet Capitol Hill – for the first time in his (now lame duck) presidency – overrode him. The potentially cataclysmic effects on US economy/foreign policy cannot be underestimated.

Why the War on Yemen Is Ignored

Amanda Taub tries to explain why the war on Yemen is mostly ignored and Syria’s conflict is not: Conflicts gain sustained American attention only when they provide a compelling story line that appeals to both the public and political actors, and for reasons beyond the human toll. That often requires some combination of immediate relevance to American interests, resonance with...

New Zealand at the United Nations: the Mouse that Roared

The impotency of New Zealand as a nation is reflected in its tendency to compensate by sanctimonious lectures at world forums on any possible occasion. The use of moral humbug as a diplomatic weapon is the resort of hypocrites who have an agenda in which they wish to give moral sanction to amoral methods, such as the USA, or who...
