Crippling blow to the global war on terror
News, Brahma Chellaney, Published on 13/09/2021
» The American-led global war on terror, launched 20 years ago after the Sept 11, 2001, attacks against the United States, was already faltering before President Joe Biden took office.

America rushes into yet another war

In his zeal to intervene, Mr Obama is again disregarding US and international law by seeking approval from neither the US Congress nor the United Nations Security Council.
