… They were planning their war on Iraq for years before it started. September eleventh wasn’t the trigger; it was the pretext. The idea of destroying Iraq goes back to the moment when Saddam laid the very first stone for the foundation of his nuclear site.

Have you ever felt as if you are moving forward in time, even in full motion, but that objects around you remain stock-still?

This is the text of Robert Schuman, The french foreign minister, which led to the European union. Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity. The coming together of the nations of Europe requires the elimination of...

Barack Obama achieved what some analysts had doubted until the very last moment: he was elected 44th president of the United States of America after a brilliant campaign that outclassed, outgunned and outmanoeuvred his not-so-maverick rival.
There is little doubt that America’s new...
From Obama, there is a lot to hope. He is the best that could have been chosen for America, the world and the Middle East ;
