‘You do not honor the dead through mindless flag waving, rewriting history or promoting new wars… If you are serious about honoring the [veterans'] memory, learn about the real reasons they were sent to war, pledge to stop this from happening again …’
Noam Chomsky writes that the US’s presumed right to impose its will on the world, by force if necessary, has not changed. But its capacity to do so has.
America’s rise to economic and military supremacy was fueled in no small measure by its control over the world’s supply of oil. It should come as no surprise, then, that the country’s current economic and military decline coincides with the relative decline of oil as a major source of energy.

What was it about the relationship with Murdoch that made Tony Blair feel it was appropriate to take a phone call from a newspaper proprietor just hours prior to the most momentous decision a prime minister can make: ordering the country’s armed forces to war?
Stop the War Coalition opposes the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (where residual Australian forces remain), not because they didn’t work out as intended, but because they are criminal enterprises

I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising. This suggests we have a bit more than a rag tag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences.
Libya not only has oil. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), its central bank has nearly 144 tonnes of gold in its vaults. With that sort of asset base, who needs the BIS, the IMF and their rules?
As the United Nations works feverishly to condemn Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi for cracking down on protesters, the body’s Human Rights Council is poised to adopt a report chock-full of praise for Libya’s human rights record.
If the US does not leave Iraq by the end of 2011, resistance leaders say they will escalate the military and peaceful opposition and turn Baghdad into a giant Tahrir Square.
Ignoring the call of the African Union – the regional organization having jurisdiction which counts every African nation save Morocco among its members – and channeling the political ghost of George W. Bush on the eighth anniversary of the “Shock and Awe” attack on Iraq, “America’s First Black President” ordered the launch of some 110 Tomahawk missiles on Libya Saturday, killing an unknown number of Africans for oil.
U.S. forces fired 110 cruise missiles at Libya on the first day of the war. The U.S. and its allies are destroying Libya’s air force in order to tip the balance in the civil war in favor of anti-Qadafi forces. But who are these anti-Qadafi forces? Rival tribes? Royalists? Radical Islamists? If anyone in the media or the White House knows, they’re not telling.
