Although for many years a critic of Tony Blair's foreign policy, he began modifying his views after 2001,
advocating the 2003 invasion of Iraq,
[3][4] and
becoming a critic of the Stop the War Coalition.
[5] In 2006, he was a leading signatory to the
Euston Manifesto,
[6] which proposed what it termed "a new political alignment" in which the left would take a stronger stance in favour of military intervention and against what the signatories deemed to be anti-American attitudes. An opponent of what he has termed the "tyrannophile left",
[7] Cohen has criticised individuals such as
Andrew Murray[5] and
George Galloway,
[8] while expressing his admiration for the opposition movements in countries such as Belarus.
[7] He is an
atheist.
[9] He called for Western military intervention in the Syrian Civil War.[10] He also supported the NATO-led intervention in Libya to oust former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.[11] In August 2014, Cohen was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to September's referendum on that issue.[12] Cohen criticised
Ecuador for granting political asylum to
Julian Assange and called Ecuador a "petro-socialist authoritarian state".
