The State Of The Empire
Some Reflections on the Geopolitical Situation
By Ninan Koshy

redefined war objectives in terms of "changing the regime of an
adversary state" and "occupying foreign territory until U.S. strategic
objectives are met". The United States and the NATO have manipulated
and interpreted the Security Council resolution on Libya to suit their
imperial objectives.

By Lawrence Davidson
