The Quartet, while in principle a good idea, has been fatally undermined by the insincerity and ‘pro-Israel’ bias of the United States. The time has come, argues Rami Khouri, for the UN and the EU to disassociate themselves from the charade.

The US and UK are seriously undermining global security, writes Rami Khouri – but what prospect is there that they can be held to account for their actions?

Creating Iraq, supporting it, destroying it, and now trying to recreate it, writes Rami Khouri, have been a cumulative show of colonial incompetence and bravado that will go down in history as a great tragedy, if not a crime, that has come at a very high cost, especially to the people of Iraq and the Middle East.
