38191 Noam Chomksy on Kosovo (FWD) -- rank: 1000
Max Sawicky wrote: >the moral center of the case. Max, I think the nub of the controversy is that other folks don't find the moral center quite as unambiguous as you do. And a lot of overheated rhetoric about saving the world, or a part of it, from some new Little Hitler doesn't help clarify the situation at all. I remember when Saddam was Hitler for a day, but it's clear the U.S. didn't want to depose him, only shorten his leash a bit. And if it took killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis - ...

38194 Fisk on Kosovo -- rank: 1000
INDEPENDENT (London) March 30 ROBERT FISK - Lies, deceit and betrayal Once upon a time - last week, in fact - we went to war to save the Kosovo Albanians. After months of negotiating and a thousand broken promises, Nato's patience was exhausted. It was time to teach the Serbs a lesson and - dare we suggest it - revenge ourselves on Slobodan Milosovic, not just for Kosovo, but for the years of Western humiliation in Bosnia. But it was for the Kosovars, the 90-per-cent Muslim population of Serbia' ...

Greg Nowell wrote: >What I object to are >knee-jerk leftist reactions that come flying to the >defense of one so objectionable (Milosovic). And how do you feel about a bunch of humanitarian pap? This idea of a bourgeois Europe is compelling, Greg, but the eastern half of the continent is to be absorbed in a distinctly subordinate mode, no? So basically you're arguing for the long-term civilizing power of imperial conquest. While that's against the grain in a world where Columbus has bec ...

38202 US terror bombing -- rank: 1000
This is marred by Trot boilerplate, but it's still a fine example of why Workers Vanguard used to be worth reading when Jan Norden was editing it. Yeah, yeah, NATO is just bombing military targets, not civilians, though there are 500,000 refugees and hundreds of thousands of others who are feeling mighty inconvenienced. But who would trust an entity with a history like this to bomb humanely? "Liberals have often sought to distance themselves from the policy of strategic bombing...." So ...
