Ghali Hassan (Ph.D.) was born in Iraq and was educated in Iraq, Europe and Australia. He is a research scholar, specialising in the areas of science education and educational psychology. His interest in world affairs is the result of careful observation of U.S.-Western policies – naked aggression, double standards, classic hypocrisy – and their detrimental impacts on the lives of ordinary people. His articles have appeared on the Internet, in newspapers and periodicals around the world, including the Arab World, Australia and New Zealand. While considering himself a nomad, Ghali lives in the Blue Mountains (near Sydney), Australia.
