Comments on: What’s Behind Washington’s Recent Behavior? http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/11/whats-behind-washingtons-recent-behavior/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:07:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ramsefall http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/11/whats-behind-washingtons-recent-behavior/#comment-31568 Ramsefall Sat, 08 Nov 2008 03:36:12 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/?p=4579#comment-31568 bozhidar, good suggestion. Arch, many, likely not Max, don't realize how irrelevant International Law is to the US, still adhering to the false belief that IL, Nuremberg, Geneva, UN, world opinion, etc. actually means something in Washington. You'd think that 60 years of blatant violation would make it clear that Washington IS indeed IL, "What we say goes", as Chomsky points out. While the US may not be keeping score, other official entities are. When the Empire finally crumbles, and if anything is left of global society by that time, they (the criminals despite their doctrine) may eventually be on the same side of the courtroom as the Nazis, or Pinochet. Things that go around, have a furtive ability to come around. Best to all. bozhidar,

good suggestion.

"Over the past two months, the United States has quietly extended its illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to Syria and Pakistan. ..." "QUIETLY" is quite an understatement! if the author had ever been within 5 miles of a 500 pound bomb detonating he would have used a very different word. i suspose the people murdered by amerika are quiet now. but that is the only thing quiet about what is going on there. BTW, we do have the right to defend our selves family and loved ones against an agressor. AND, nonviolent action is NOT just sittin' around whining and complaining. see the video, "A FORCE MORE POWERFUL" AND just stop buying stuff. obama is one of the bad guys. peace to you and yours “We will not sit by idly while the architects of the empire scramble for the pieces of the Middle East while killing thousands or millions of human beings in their path.”

Of course "we" will. "We" have sat idly by while the US committed genocide in Iraq to the tune of about a million slaughtered along with tens of thousands in Afghanistan. What difference is a few thousand more corpses going to make now? BTW: Obama has stated publicly that he intends to expand the imperial massacre to Pakistan and pour more gasoline on the global bonfire by increasing US military spending and piling additional threats onto Iran (he'll probably reinstitute the draft as well). He's given "us" his answer. Whining about it to that snake oil salesman will be about as useful as tits on a boar hog. BTW2: You know that "international law" is? Whatever the Pentagon and US State Dept. says it is, which is basically a global golgotha for anyone who has a problem with the precepts of War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength. “We will not sit by idly while the architects of the empire scramble for the pieces of the Middle East while killing thousands or millions of human beings in their path.”
