Former US President George W. Bush will always be remembered for the War on Terrorism, a war he brought America and the rest of his allies on after the September 11 attacks.

Where are we in the War on Terror? Are we winning? What does ... Read More

A different war should be won...there is this war that is entirely good and can save as many lives - a war against the disturbing realities that prevent us from living harmoniously and peacefully as human beings. (photo: liberalforum.org) A new war should be won. A new perception should explode like the nuclear bombs we always talk about. We have heard the statement that war is never good no matter how reasonable it is. Seeing hundreds or thousands of people dying of war ... Read More

The two countries waged war against each other from 1998 to 2000 which killed more than 70 thousand people. An independent boundary commission has settled the territorial dispute between the countries through its “virtual demarcation” in November 2007.
