With its arrogant pursuit of regime change in country after country – Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine - America is furthering its Project for a New American Century (PNAC), extending its imperialist Monroe Doctrine to the rest of the world.

Not only does it now find its Project between a rock and a hard place, but it has manoeuvred its faithful Middle East cat’s paw, Israel, into an uncomfortable and potentially precarious position in a dangerously destabilised region.

World peace depends on the decent elements in the USA abandoning the PNAC and its ambitions to foist NATO on to Russia, sloughing off the remnants of the treasonous Confederacy, and returning its attention to growing into a respectable and respected world citizen.

Its first task will be to show genuine good faith in working to broker a deal between Israel and Palestine based on two independent states west of the River Jordan founded on genuinely equivalent constitutional rights and access to land and natural resources. Ethnic and religious supremacism being what they are, it’s going to be a tough sell.
