The year of the pre-emptive strike


Many things can be said of 2003 when turmoil struck the world. But most of all, it was the year when the Bush doctrine of unilateral military action against other countries deemed worthy of 'regime change' was put into terrible effect in Iraq, as the United Nation stood and tottered helplessly at the sidelines. The world will not be the same again. MARTIN KHOR reviews the year that is about to pass us by. 

THE year 2003 will go down as a great turning point in history. Whether it will turn out to be just an aberration or the start of a new and calamity-filled long-term trend remains to be seen.
