Alastair Crooke: Decline, Irrationality & War on Iran

Alastair Crooke is a former British diplomat and the Founder of "Conflicts Forum" based in Beirut. He was formerly an advisor on Middle East issues to Javier Solana, the EU Foreign Policy Chief. Crooke argues it is necessary to consider the West's decline, desperation and irrationality to understand why the US is heading toward another war against Iran.
