  • Paul, Santorum and the Sixth War (on Iran)

      Not a bad article, although if you're going to take on anarchism, i think you need to give it more thought than one paragraph.

      I'd like to see a similar breakdown of the democratic party, with a special emphasis on the humanitarian intervention left, the sleeping giant of imperialist war.

      I think that would be a nice place for self reflection Juan.

  • UN Allies Bombard Libya to protect Protesters

      Dear Right Wing War Mongers,

      Please come and meet your close cousin, the Humanitarian Interventionist Liberal/Leftist!

      He often poses as anti-war, but all you need to do is to throw around words like 'massacre' and 'genocide' and promise this time it will be different. Next thing you know, he'll be on the sidelines cheering your warplanes along and taping flowers to your cruise missiles.

      Yay!

      In other news, here is the report card of the president that rode a wave of anti-war sentiment into the white house:

      1. Expanded War in Afghanistan
      2. Expanded War in Pakistan
      3. Began Covert War in Yemen
      4. Started attacking Libya without even a hint or inkling of conferring with Congress on the ANNIVERSARY of the Iraq war.

      And now he has former anti-bush anti-war elements cheering him on.

      Sometimes you have to stand in awe of the Empire. I'm thoroughly impressed.

  • The World Oil Politics of the Libyan Revolt

      Juan,

      I'm sorry but your logic is kind of ridiculous here and i agree with your detractors.

      In one paragraph you acknowledge the stakes of the middle east's black oil is extremely high and in the next you are saying that the UN needs to go in and help them with their transition?

      Pardon?

      The Libyans will figure this out on their own and they don't need interference from the US, UN, NATO, USAID, or anyone else.
