    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 27, Issue 6 2003 Article 6 Vengeance And Empire: The Leftist Case for War in Iraq – William Shawcross, Allies: The U.S., Britain, Europe, and the War in Iraq Hal Blanchard∗ ∗ Copyright c 2003 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Vengeance And Empire: The Leftist Case for War in Iraq – William Shawcross, Allies: The U.S., Britain, Europe, and the War in Iraq Hal Blanchard Abstract Shawcross is superbly equipped to assess the impact of rogue States and terrorist organizations on global security. He is also well placed to comment on the risks of preemptive invasion for existing alliances and the future prospects for the international rule of law. An analysis of the ways in which the international community has “confronted evil,” Shawcross’ brief polemic argues that U.S. President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair were right to go to war without UN clearance, and that the hypocrisy of Jacques Chirac was largely responsible for the collapse of international consensus over the war. His curious identification with Bush and his neoconservative allies as the most qualified to implement this humanitarian agenda, however, fails to recognize essential differences between the leftist case for war and the hard-line justification for regime change in Iraq.

    In Error, Immoral, Unethical, and Impossible for Me to Attend

    Severe Bipolar Clinical Depression vs. WCA: In Error, Immoral, Unethical, and Impossible For Me To Attend Supporter Morgan Freeman, in a personal capacity Your Ref. (My NI No.): WM549438D Dear DWP/Atos Staffer, On Sat 01 June 2013, I was aghast to receive a letter, signed ‘Atos Healthcare’ (sic) and dated Thu 30 May 2013, summoning me to attend what I can only assume is the infamous and discredited ‘Work Capability Assessment’ (WCA) [1] at 15:20 on Fri 14 Jun 2013 at a ‘Marylebone Medical Assessment Centre’. The letter and accompanying pamphlet both neglect to mention the actual name of the assessment I am being summoned to attend. I am currently bumping along the bottom of an episode of severe bipolar clinical depression; so it’s taking an excessively strenuous and stressful amount of mental energy, dogged perseverance, and fitful concentration to overcome the depressive symptomatic urge to just “Bin this rubbish, and face the detrimental consequences later (which is all I deserve anyway, because I’m worthless scum)”, and rather to do the right thing: to explain to the DWP/Atos why I believe this summoning to be in error, immoral, unethical, and impossible for me to attend. So although I am currently at just about my weakest and most vulnerable, and therefore least able to self-advocate in my own best interests, I shall nevertheless take some days to assemble my considered response. Since this considered response message is both thorough and extensive, you may prefer to read it on paper rather than on screen. To that end, I have attached a version formatted for printing on A4 paper: • ‘Severe Bipolar Clinical Depression vs.
  • Us Failure in Afghanistan: Half-Baked Planning Or Pakistan?

    Us Failure in Afghanistan: Half-Baked Planning Or Pakistan?

    127 US FAILURE IN AFGHANISTAN: HALF-BAKED PLANNING OR PAKISTAN? Muhammad Hashim Zafar Wadhen, Shafei Moiz Hali and Adnan Jamil* Abstract The Global War on Terrorism, launched as a direct result of the heinous 9/11 attacks, has been wagging on for almost two decades with no clear signs of victory for the US. The US on a strategic level has lost the war as the primary opponent, Taliban, holds more territory than ever. The US and NATO coalition not only planned to eradicate terrorism in the country but also had great ambitions to modernize and rebuild the country; however, little has been archived so far. Amidst these harsh realities, Pakistan being a major non-NATO ally is often blamed to sabotage the war efforts by playing a so-called double-game while supporting the Global War on Terrorism on one hand and helping the Taliban on the other. Therefore, this paper investigates the reasons for the US failure in Afghanistan on a macro-level and what role Pakistan has played. Other than the notion that Pakistan is to blame, factors, such as, the US has no real long- term objectives for the war, employing conventional methods of warfare, underestimating the opponent and the terrain, lack of coordination among the NATO member states and the sudden attention shift from Afghanistan to Iraq, played a significant role in the current outcome. After evaluating all the evidence from the last two decades, it is clear that half-baked US planning led to the eventual failure of the war effort. Keywords: GWOT, Pakistan, Taliban, NATO, Terrorism.
