There should be negotiations to end the war and carnage in Libya and make peace, justice, democracy, and reconciliation, but the continuation of Gadaffi, his family, relatives and mafia supporters in power is non-negotiable.  At the very le...

Exactly. In a perfect world The prescription of Horace Cambell would be correct, let Africans take care of Africa. But it is so far from perfect, as his long piece suggests ( paradoxically). After Libya and the Maghreb , there will be lots for th...

Another question to ask The Noam and ourselves is : Can the state ever act irrationally? And as it applies to the current situation:  Does knowing the states implicit motives automatically determine and condition our response to it's acti...

past predictions about NATO against Libya, I found it even more funny that he blames SA for this war. Of course, SA rulers could influence USA rulers - they made them support Mubarak long after it was useful for USA. But if Obama was really unwill...

I don't know if all serial killers kill for the mere joy of killing or if - like our government leaders - they imagine other objectives that they put above human life - similar to the way we walk down the street without caring abo...

Is it possible that the war in Lybia is also a distraction from the crisis in Japan and some crucial questions regarding nuclear power?

I can appreciate where you are coming from Joe. My only thought is what if ,in your analogy, the serial killer is actually more complex than pure sociopath. What if he could be driven by more than the simple urge to kill?  Might he accidently...

I think an analogy best explains my position. Imagine a terrible crime is about to take place. Are there circumstances where calling on a serial killer to help the victim might be justified? Our governments are analagous to a serial killer ...

By admitting the failure of the "peace movement" the author has taken the first step. I fear however, that he is as confused about the reasons for the failure as he is about intervention. First, I believe the Chavez proposal was a joke a...

William, I deal with perhaps a hundred emails a day...ball park....and then there are comments, plus work, of course. For me in a way it all mixes up - and I can't retain memory of prior exchanges with any one person, but can only answer each...

If my comment is irrelevant to your blog - or a non sequitor as you so "honestly" put it - why do you insist on having this conversation?   I had sort of assumed that any further efforts on my part would be best directed elsew...

  The attack on Libya definitely forbodes the danger of a  very long and very costly war particularly if Ghadafy decides to arm all of his supporters and make use of his vast resources of  his oil and gas money, gold, and other mine...

Press releases? My understanding is that the opposition, quite understandably, wasn't interested in negotiating with Qaddafi - presumably because doing so would be accepting that he would remain. Think of asking the Egyptians to negotiate with...

David, It isn't that the West "didn't think of" withdrawing support for dictators. It is that they don't want to. They want regimes that put the elite western interests above their people's. That often requires ...
