America: Maniac with razor blades

Saturday, 27 October 2007 12:15 A GMT+01

The Brit babes do cry in Persia

Wednesday, 11 April 2007 6:18 A GMT+01

After the stupidity of selling stories of captivity, the captors are now to publish their film of the events, I fear for the shame of it all. However, I did almost predict this media frenzy.

A row the MoD cannot row out of

Stripping the "Great" out of Britain

AIDS cure or homosexual lure in Iran

The year of Armageddon upon us

Saturday, 13 January 2007 10:59 P GMT+01

There is a possibility that the Middle-East might in view of radical American policies see the ignition of the tinder box of Armageddon - US, Iraq, Iran, Israel and Syria filling the rivers of Mesopotamia to Jordan with blood.

Saddam was innocent of 9/11

Saturday, 30 December 2006 10:59 P GMT+01

Now that Saddam Hussein has been killed we can move on from that distraction and focus on the real perpetrators of 9/11 who run wild and free giving inspiration and killing American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Where is Bin Laden amd Mullah Omar?

Left with the bread crumbs of Middle East diplomacy

Thursday, 30 November 2006 10:54 P GMT+01

A large body count with no ease as war ceases

Monday, 14 August 2006 5:11 P GMT+01

The people who lost the most from the Israeli-Lebanon conflict are those who were sacrificed in the proxy war between American and Iran, neither Israel nor Lebanon have gained anything - rather they would have to talk to each other.

Dr Rice's unannounced visit to Lebanon finished every semblance of genuine friendship between the Lebanese and America as they are being sacrificed on the altar of some new Middle-East order. Know your friends.

Peace eludes our time with appeasement

Monday, 17 July 2006 8:28 P GMT+01
