I have never heard something as stupid as this Administration's justification for bombing Libya back to the Stone Age. They claim Qaddafi is not the target and that they are protecting and saving those opposed to this dictator. Really? This sounds like a repeat performance of the CIA-inspired interference in the affairs of oil rich nations or of those who oppose their imperialist plans. Bomb a sovereign nation back to the Stone Age and split them up into tiny ethnic enclaves. This is what happened in the former Yugoslavia under the excuse that NATO and the US were preventing "genocide." (Read Michael Parenti's To Kill a Nation.)
What about the genocide perpetrated in Latin America during the 1970s with full backing of the CIA? This is also how Western powers liberated Iraq and Afghanistan. While the military-industrial-corporatist complex destroys sovereign nations and supports those who will give them free access to oil wells and other natural resources, our own American workers are losing their jobs, health benefits, and pensions. War veterans are coming back without limbs, brain damaged, or psychologically unstable. This is no longer a democracy. It should be renamed the United Corporations of America. And a real Dystopia seems to be what is in store for us:
