Global Research - by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, with introduction by Cynthia McKinney:
"Today, the imperialist design of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany have not changed. What has changed is the pretext and justification for waging their neo-colonial wars of conquest. During the colonial period, the narratives and justifications for waging war were accepted by public opinion in the colonizing countries, such as Britain and France. Today's 'just wars' and 'just causes' are now being conducted under the banners of women's rights, human rights, humanitarianism, and democracy."
