How valuable to have a quick, cogent analysis of the international military intervention in Libyan limited to the perspective of international law.  You have provided us a great service, Professor.  Thank you.

Did the UN Declare War on Libya as the title of this commentary states?  Did Ban Ki Moon initiate and strong arm the United States, Britain, France etc. into joining his desired war?  I think not.  The correct title of the article s...

Nikonov: Any rebels who ask for NATO bombs

Forum Post, March, 20 2011 Alla Nikonov

are suspicious to me. Even  more are rebels led by former ministers of Qaddafi.  Last time when USA did it was in Iraq and we all aware what does this mean. But still, at least the author is not supporting the crime of imperialism.

Forum Post, March, 10 2011 Alla Nikonov

Zimbabve mostly "made in USA" and has nothing to do with real revolution. Not to defend Mugabe, but his opponents are darlings of Washington, and I know all too well what does it mean.

I don't know how this article found its way into ZNET. There was a conspicuous absence of any criticism or fault finding with the capitalist economic systems in regards to the uprisings in the Arab world. There was one paragraph that linked ...

Noam Chomsky is a wise man, and he knows well this history. They do not believe in democracy, not in liberty, not in human rights. They believe in good business, money and power. It is a very old history
