Following Pervez Hoodbhoy's recent article in support of US drone attacks on Paistani Taliban militants, London-based writer Naeem Malik argues that drones are part of the problem, not the solution.
As U.S. plans its withdrawal from Afghanistan, we need to ask the question whether drones would replace the withdrawn U.S. troops. Are those supporting drones risking a perpetual war for the region?

The iron rule of Hosni Mubarak has dominated Egypt for three decades. The regime he heads is preparing for the succession and seeking to channel Egyptians’ hunger for change into a tool of retrenchment. The secular opposition is absorbed by the effort of staying in the political game; the Muslim Brotherhood has larger ambitions. What place does a parliamentary election have in this landscape? An assessment from Tarek Osman, in Cairo.

As Polly Toynbee and David Walker round off their running audit of Labour’s record, Pat Thane considers the many ‘good things’ Labour governments achieved and the weaknesses that undermined them.
It seems strangely long ago, when all we had to worry about were the shortcomings of an often well-meaning Labour government.

NASA has announced that this year is the hottest year so far, just as climate scientists predicted it would be. This has been accompanied by the fastest decline in Arctic sea ice in satellite records, and other extreme weather events around the world, many of which were also predicted by climate scientists.
It is against this backdrop that one of Britain’s most prominent climate change ‘sceptics’ has admitted he’s driven by “ideological war”. Many of you will be familiar with James Delingpole, seen here with our prime minister in a former life. He now writes regularly for The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator.
