BRITAIN AND WAR FOR THE GREATER MIDDLE EAST

The Greater Middle East (Wikipedia)

Britain's Parliament will be recalled tomorrow during a week in which EdX launched its "War for the Greater Middle East" Mooc - https://www.edx.org/course/bux/bux-intl301x-war-greater-middle-east-1556#.VCQ063ZnBuM

The mooc is billed thus: "Military historian Andrew Bacevich recounts the failed U.S. military effort over several decades to "fix" the Islamic world, explaining what went wrong and why." Early reports of this online course are positive.

Parliament's recall to decide the extent of Britain's involvement in the ongoing conflict, which has recently entered a new phase, is one reason this blog supports the kind of federal government described in the following post, rather than a break-up of the UK.
