Invasion of Iraq

A former British government translator who blew the whistle on efforts to sell the Iraq war says a movie adapted from her life would help pave the way for "discussions and dialogue" on the "truth and accountability" of war.

Jacques Chirac, a two-term French president who was the first leader to acknowledge France's role in the Holocaust and who defiantly opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, died on Sept. 26 at 86.

Former French President Jacques Chirac has died at the age of 86, his family said.

The former head of state has died this morning. His family was next to him, the statement said.

Whilst there are no golden ages, it is abundantly clear that the world today is in a very unhealthy state.

And at the heart of that destabilisation is American and British foreign policy.

An Iraqi army helicopter crashed during a routine flight on Sunday, killing all seven people on board, a military statement and Iraqi air force officers said.
The Russian-made Mi-17 helicopter went down near the southern province of Kut, the statement said. Two pilots and five army officers were killed, Iraqi air force officers told Reuters.

Liberal warmongers lost the last U.S. election but have won the day! Finally, they have managed to get someone to strike Syria.That is not to say that President Donald Trump is a man of peace. Besides, his foreign policy vision is full of contradictions; on one hand, he promised no more U.S.
