    Bombing Tripoli while shoring up other despots in the Arab world shows the UN-backed strikes to oust Gaddafi are purely cynical
    The US-Nato intervention in Libya, with United Nations security council cover, is part of an orchestrated response to show support for the movement against one dictator in particular and by so doing to bring the Arab rebellions to an end by asserting western control, confiscating their impetus and spontaneity and trying to restore the status quo ante.
    It is (…)

    According to some prognosticators, the world will end in 2012. This hypothesis is based upon many beliefs, including the prophecies of the Hopi Indians and the Mayan Long Count Calendar.
    I’ll admit, the world’s demise did not seem far-fetched when George W. Bush and his cabal of liars, sadists, torturers and war criminals illegally controlled the White House. But the election of Barack Obama in 2008 seemed to reinvigorate the spirit of the world, and made people believe in the power of (…)

  • THE MEANINGLESS CONCEPT OF ETHICAL WAR : THE CASE AGAINST INTERVENTION
    25 March 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    By John Chuckman
    French air force planes struck the first blows: using “intelligent” munitions, the planes struck tanks and artillery which threatened the people of Benghazi.
    Now, who wouldn’t be heartened to learn that mechanized forces being used against civilians, civilians whose only demand was freedom from tyranny, were destroyed?
    One might easily regard intervention, limited strictly to such targets, as both ethical and desirable, but the truth is that intervention is never (…)

    with no end in sight.
    And every single penny was charged to our uncontrolled national
    debt, even as Republicans endlessly denounced the immorality of
    that debt.

    Lieberman went on TV to demand it? Why do three TV Senators get (…)
