hink of it all - of the life that is! Study your friends and foes!
Study the past! And answer this: "Are these times better than those?" The life-long quarrel, the paltry spite, the sting of your poisoned pride! No matter who fell it were better to fight as they did when the world was wide.
Humanitarian intervention?
"As Israel delivers its clearest warning yet that it will attack Iran, Antony Loewenstein ponders the West's insatiable appetite for military intervention.[...]
While Iraq has undoubtedly changed the rules of the game, Rieff conveniently ignores the concept that Western nations, especially the United States and Britain, will never intervene in a nation merely for benevolent reasons. There is gross hypocrisy in even debating military intervention in war-torn countries when places such as Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq remain mired in Western-caused carnage.
Are the Burmese people suddenly more worthy of help than the Palestinians in Gaza? Should the people of Harare be "rescued" from Robert Mugabe but the citizens of Baghdad have to suffer years more of US-backed Shia militias? A true internationalist either believes in equal rights for all or nothing. Tragically, the "war on terror" has unleashed lashings of moral outrage from the political and media elite but little reflection on the effects of military action. While major reform of the UN and international systems of government are essential, a rush to arms is rarely the best course of action."

Those with an eye for the truth are slowly waking up to the disasterous effects the globalist regime, which our government is all too frequently a part of, is having upon the globe. Talk of 'freedom' and 'justice' and 'peace' is a big fat smoke screen for the regime, run by an international economic elite, that carefully chooses who it plans to 'save' next based on financial gain and who defends their actions with moral absolutist rhetoric that mocks reality.
We need not associate ourselves with the narrow and short sighted thinking of these people who aim to reduce the world into one giant market place and who do not understand that political systems are relative to the conditions in each society, that uprooting systems we don't happen to like can cause disaster and death on a massive scale. We need to stop this internationalist mindset, conduct our economic processes in our own shores, and worry about ourselves.
