Quotations

"The conflict in Syria and Iraq has been much worsened by Western intervention, both overt and covert. . . The same is true in Afghanistan and Libya. We are seeing now just what a terrible price is being paid by the people of the region. NATO is promising us more of the same, this time in the heart of Europe." (Morning Star, August 30, 2014; photo Wikipedia)
