Israeli Militarism At War

Destroying the Iraqi tyranny, the US has demonstrated that the entire globe is now subject to American dictatorship. Not bothering to obtain even a disguise of international legitimacy from the Security Council, the two dozens of neoconservative men who are running our planet (for the sake of the weapon and oil industry) send hundreds of … Continue reading “Israeli Militarism At War”

The Harder They Fall

The news of the moment, especially the escalating rhetoric of certain U.S. spokesmen on Syria, is fascinating and worthy of some tut-tutting a bit later. But for me the most fascinating news of the past week was almost taken for granted: the virtually instant crumbling of Saddam Hussein’s regime after decades of brutal totalitarian rule. … Continue reading “The Harder They Fall”

All Hail the Liberators

We were bound to see it eventually. And there they were: TV pictures of jubilant Iraqis welcoming American troops – cheering them, kissing them, throwing roses at them.

The ‘Successful’ Post-World War II Model for Iraq

The Bush administration says that this war on Iraq will not repeat the failure of Vietnam, but rather it will repeat the successful outcome of World War II (WW2). The administration has oft repeated that US postwar occupation of Iraq will follow the model of the successful US occupation of Germany and Japan. The administration … Continue reading “The ‘Successful’ Post-World War II Model for Iraq”

King George Returns

Due to a death in his family, Justin Raimondo will be away this week. He will return Monday. Imperialist chic is in bloom on the left as well as the right, with weepy liberals like Michael Ignatieff joining neoconservatives Max Boot and Dinesh D’Souza in hailing the American Caesar. "People are now coming out of … Continue reading “King George Returns”
