Left Wing silent as Bush victory in Iraq proceeds
"PJ O'Donovan" wrote in message
... Government allies see gains in Iraqi elections Feb 1, 6:51 AM (ET) BAGHDAD (AP) - Allies of Iraq's U.S.-backed prime minister appeared Sunday to have made gains in the provincial elections, rewarding groups credited with reining in insurgents and militias... "...US President Barack Obama has praised the polls as an ‘important step forward’ for Iraq's future....." # So, an original possible war crime - invasion of Iraq in defiance of UN - is now justified by its results? And is putting a bit of paper into the magic box, a guarantee of "democracy"? Or, is a compliant regime, and lots of folk on US payroll, more an indicator of neo-colonial status? Have the oil revenues now been tied up, and can US troops be safely withdrawn? The US is good at trashing small countries - it proves you are a Great Power. But that's the easy bit. If you invade you still have to get out again, and what will happen when the US leaves Iraq and Afghanistan - the "Terrorists" are merely biding their time? Every nation is entitled to go to hell in its own way, and if Israel is free to do as it pleases, then why not other nations - or is internal genocide, oppression, and ethnic cleansing, a matter of universal public concern? If so, then be consistent about it. Putting a bit of paper in a box is preferable to putting a bullet into your neighbour, but let's not get too excited about it. Plutocracy rules, OK? |
