American-led imperialism has evolved from bloody bouts of episodic militarism over several decades to the present day state of permanent belligerence, with wars or war-making stretching from North and East Africa into the Middle East and Central Asia and beyond to Eurasia, the Far East and the Arctic. Of most immediate concern are the ongoing American-led war plans within the broader Middle East/Central Asian region involving coordinated actions against Iran, Syria and Pakistan.
We are living in an era hallmarked by “The Globalization of
War” conducted by the very states that proclaim to be defenders of democratic
rights and international law.
The chief protagonist of this globalized war is the United
States of America. The US, along with its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO), Britain, France, Canada and Germany among others, as well
as an array of proxies – such as the Persian Gulf Arab states – is now
emboldened to strike militarily in any region of the world.
War preparations to attack Syria and Iran have been in "an
advanced state of readiness" for several years. US, NATO and Israeli military planners have outlined the
contours of a "humanitarian" military campaign, in which Turkey (the second
largest military force inside NATO) would play a central role.
We are at dangerous crossroads. Were a US-NATO military
operation to be launched against Syria or Iran, the broader Middle East Central
Asian region extending from North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean to the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border with China would be engulfed in the turmoil of an
extended regional war. In the face of blatant media disinformation, a "Re-Learning
Process" must be launched, which focuses both on the background and history of
US led wars as well as on recent developments including US, NATO and Israeli
war plans directed against Iran and Syria.
This selection of articles prepared by Global Research
purports to dispel the daily flow of media distortion, which presents war as a
humanitarian undertaking.
This collection consists of three previously published
I-Books (PART I), each of which contains 30 or more chapters on different
dimensions of the US led War in the Middle East and Beyond. For the most recent
news reports and analysis scroll down to Part II and III, respectively on Syria
and Iran.
