US and its Allies Setting Stage for Syria Invasion

The UK has already been giving out financial and military help to the insurgents in Syria.

(TEHRAN) - The sudden resignation of UN peace envoy Kofi Annan from the peace efforts circle in Syria which evidently materialized under duress from the US government has caused extreme joy in Washington.

Ordinary Citizens: the Silent Victims of Anti-Iranian Sanctions

Western warmongers are at work desperately trying to create WWIII.

(TEHRAN) - While the US and EU vehemently compete in the seemingly endless race of imposing sanctions on Iran, ordinary Iranian citizens are experiencing the most breathtaking, agonizing impacts of the crippling embargoes.

Sri Lanka`s Fragile Gains In The Balance

(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka) - In May 2009, the civil war in Sri Lanka drew to a close. It had been a sanguinary conflict claiming anywhere between 80,000 and 100,000 lives.

Not surprisingly, there was a palpable sense of relief amongst the majority Sinhala population. Even the Tamil population, many of whom were not active supporters of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), had reasons to celebrate.
