Foreign Policy Journal
Foreign Policy Journal is an online publication dedicated to Providing critical analysis of the U.S. foreign policy outside of the standard framework offered by government officials and the mainstream corporate media. FPJ offers readers a collection of headlines from the U.S. and international media, including both mainstream and alternative sources, as well as original news, analysis, and commentary from perspectives all too lacking in the public debate on key foreign policy issues.
FPJ is particularly focused on the U.S. "war on [...]" that was declared following the [...] attacks of September 11, 2001 and U.S. policies in the Middle East and Central Asia. FPJ scrutinizes events in and policies towards Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Israel, and the Palestinian occupied territories to present a clearer picture to its readers of events and how the regions are affected by U.S. policies.
