Noel Methinks the US and Europe will easily find a new monster - Ho Chi Mihn morphed into Fidel Castro who morphed into Salvadore Allende and then Daniel Ortega and then Sadaam Hussein, Slobodan Milosovic, Osama Bin Laden, Kim Jong-il and then Hu...

Forum Post Pagany: The State's Ally

In removing bin Laden, the State has removed a key ally in its use of torture, reduction of civil liberties, postponement of lawless prisons like Gitmo, and continuation of the war on Afghanistan.  What new excuses will they perpetuate to co...

Terrorism is an evil but attributing the crime to the criminal is fundemental to any legal process that claims a modicum of legal or process. Bin Laden should have been arrested as was possible and tried. then the US or better still the ICC cou...

G.K. Chesterton's response to a query about what is wrong with the world was "I am."   See the film of the same title, "I Am."  It's well done.  Incidentally, it was 9/11 that awakened me, a former high ...

I find your comment perplexing.  The lyrics, okay.  One I'm not necessarily looking for literal truth, and two they had a context.  But I can't figure out any other context or other meaning to your ending sentence. ...

Perhaps we'd have more of a chance at affecting change for the better if we'd all write letters of supplication to the real leaders of the world, the Bliderberg/Council on Foreign Relations/Trilateral groups, pleading with them to be nice....

As usual Paul says it well. It occurs to me that there are many whites in the U.S. and European establishments and in their populaces that see/saw the president of the U.S. as someone with a muslim-like name and dark skin and, thus, someone tha...

When we start from the position that there will alaways be tension around the Universal (Are they Western values or just human?)  we allow many more conditions of possibility to open up. It is not ever black and white despite what we might wish.

Forum Post Jones: Re: Fine summary

"No such massacre of civilians" ? A couple of issues here I believe. One, from the reports I've seen there is little regard for civilians in the siege of Misrata and many, many deaths  and two, when does a rebel become a civilia...

Forum Post Waters: Regarding 9-11

Forum Post, May, 04 2011 Joseph Waters

A quote from the rap band, Dead Prez: "They weren't aiming at us, not at my house - they hit the world trade center, the pentagon and almost got the white house; now everybody's walking around all patriotic; how we gonna fight for fr...

I agree with Mort Brussel on the utter and standard hypocrsiy behind the humanitarian claims and I do not pretend to know if a massacre was actually averted or not in Benghazi.  I will read Nizan and Bichler. A timing issue. This essay ...

Paul, As usual, a cogent analysis. I would only suggest that you needn't even consider  the "massacre" excuse proclaimed by Obama and anti-imperialists Ashcar, Juan Cole, and friends. It is possible that such a massacre could h...

Forum Post Ajl: good but needs work on political economy of oil

Forum Post, May, 04 2011 Max Ajl

I mostly agree Paul, but your analysis of the political economy of oil unfortunately follows Chomsky into a theory-free zone of non-analysis. You write that "It’s not just or even mainly about cheap oil. It’s about the “crit...

When I say "Liberals,"--with a big L--I mean the people that should be providing a measured voice, rather than those liberals who are feverishly celebrating what is sure to be a massive spike in Obama's ratings (if this had happened ...

What more can be said?  Well, much, but it is clear that barbarity reigns in the councils of government and these councils have little or nothing to do with the common man or woman and what is in their best interests. Also, I heard a repor...

I see Fisk's point that the megalomania of dictators becomes most apparent when they venture into writing books that they suppose to have some profound meaning. Yet the quotes pointed out out in the first comment which I am guessing ...
