The military deployment of U.S.-NATO forces coupled with “non-conventional warfare” – including covert intelligence operations, economic sanctions and the thrust of “regime change”– is occurring simultaneously in several regions of the world.
Central to an understanding of war, is the media campaign which grants it legitimacy in the eyes of public opinion. War has been provided with a humanitarian mandate under NATO’s “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P). The victims of U.S. led wars are presented as the perpetrators of war. Civilians in Yugoslavia, Palestine, Ukraine, Libya, Syria and Iraq are responsible for their own deaths.
Meanwhile, the Commander in Chief of the largest military force on planet earth is presented as a global peace-maker. The granting of the Nobel “peace prize” in 2009 to President Barack Obama has become an integral part of the Pentagon’s propaganda machine. It provides a human face to the invaders, it demonizes those who oppose U.S. military intervention.
The Nobel Committee says that President Obama has given the world “hope for a better future”. The prize is awarded for Obama’s “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special impor- tance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.”

Introduction
The U.S. and its NATO allies have embarked on a military adventure,
“a long war”, which threatens the future of humanity. This “war without
borders” is intimately related to a worldwide process of economic
restructuring, which has been conducive to the collapse of national
economies and the impoverishment of large sectors of the World
population.The U.S. weapons producers are the recipients of U.S.
Department of Defense multibillion dollar procurement contracts for
advanced weapons systems. In turn, “The Battle for Oil” in the Middle
East and Central Asia directly serves the interests of the
Anglo-American oil giants. The U.S. and its allies are “Beating the
Drums of War” at the height of a worldwide economic depression.The military deployment of U.S.-NATO forces coupled with “non-conventional warfare” – including covert intelligence operations, economic sanctions and the thrust of “regime change”– is occurring simultaneously in several regions of the world.
