Rebranding the ‘War on Terror’
In April 2009 former British prime minister Tony Blair made a speech justifying military intervention and colonialism in order to crush the global Islamic revival. He called for the military occupation of Afghanistan to continue “until the job is done” and interference in Pakistan’s education system to counter the rise in Islamic values.
But while Blair openly exposed that the ‘war on terror’ is actually a war on Islam,Western governments have desperately trying to change the image of their colonial and, frankly, murderous foreign policy.They have …

The recent case of 12 terror suspects in a bomb plot in the UK being released without charges is nothing surprising. Home Office statistics showed 669 of the 1,228 people arrested in terrorist investigations were later freed during the period September 2001 to July 2007.What is poignant about this episode is to whip up a media frenzy over how Pakistan is supposedly becoming a “failed state”.
UK prime minister, Gordon Brown used the episode for political propaganda, challenging Pakistan to do more to root out terrorism. With the US-driven military onslaught …

Given the grim economic picture, it is little surprise to hear of the intense scrutiny that government MP’s have come under, after itwas revealed that MP’s in the past financial year have managed to clock up over £93 million in expenses. This famously includes the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, who despite earning £142,000 a year, has managed to pass off her husbands ‘dirty’ viewing habits, plant pots and even a bathroom plug as ‘expenses’.

Western delegates walked out when Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad made comments at the UN’s racism conference in Geneva saying Israel was a racist entity, created and backed by Britain and America.

However, many are still bewildered as to why Iran sat back and hypocritically blamed other regimes in Muslim countries for doing nothing, instead of acting decisively to stop Israel’s assault, and even liberating …

In the book The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq by Helen Benedict the harsh realities of life in the US military for women was exposed. Whilst proclaiming to be the champion of women’s rights globally, the United States is proven to be spectacularly failing to protect the security and needs of females in its armed services.
With female soldiers often fearing rape and harassment from their male colleagues more than the enemy they are fighting in order to spread ‘freedom and democracy’, it is the values …

The Daily Mail newspaper has reported that some schools are employing ex-nightclub bouncers, ex-soldiers and ex-prison officers to stand in for absent teachers. Classroom discipline, it seems, has become so bad that the schools are forced to sometimes think of educational supervision more like ‘crowd control’. The news came at the conference of the National Union of Teachers, where it was also heard that many teachers face so much stress during term time that mental health problems are rife.
Western societies have eroded respect to such an extent that increasingly teachers …
