That's a big point. Why US should do whetever it want and with a total contempt of other countries willing. It look like the big bully of the class... Refering to the original article, (if someone still remember it): This distorted view postulates that because we are stronger than others, we must know better and we must have right on our side.

It looks to me that the war on terror concept has been branded to attack iraq. After using for Iraq, who is going to be targeted? Syria, North Korea (Oh, no they do really have WMD, ...) It is a little bit to easy to act this way.

You right to point that this can be considered as a linguistic problem. However as everybody should have the same right including the one to officialise a relationship with partner regardless their sexuality.(ie tax, accomodation,...). After using the word marriage or civil union is just a proble of culture. That is not necessary the case of homosexuality. I have just post a small and funny article about that saying that homosexuality is quiet spread within the animals. They even manage to e

Brad: you are right saying that arafat was (is still?) a terrorist. But sharon had continusly show no respect to Palestinians, as people or as country. Remember 1980 slaughter in Liban, remember also that he ignited the second intifada by visiting the Mosque's explanade 3 years ago. Ha has always embrass the colonisation policy. I really don't know what to think about his recent pronouncement of leaving some colonies.

None of them want to reckon that going to war was a political decision. In UK they first blamed the media, now they blame the intelligence. I think only history and next poll are going to juge them. Reading a good article in the guardian from gary young, I noticed a good sentence: "This war is not just killing Iraqi civilians, resistance fighters and coalition soldiers. It's murdering any pretence that we live in countries that value, let alone practice, the principle of democratic

I have to agree with jeblackstar, removing Saddam can't be considered on the war on terror. The war on terror was used to attack Saddam. No one can defend Saddam, he was a despicable dictator, but why him? if human rights and democracy were at stake there's a lot of other dictator. What would be your position if all the democracy of the world decide to unite and to attack one by one the despots and implement democracy? Would you pay for it?

I thing that he used the word extremist due to this extracts "This distorted view postulates that because we are stronger than others, we must know better and we must have right on our side. That is where religious fundamentalism comes together with market fundamentalism to form the ideology of American supremacy.

I think there is a mistake that is frequently done. Israel is a state with every attributes, military power, welfare, parliament,... The Palestinian haven't, The like of Hamas or any terrorist group are not the soldier of the Palestinians. On one hand you have state power, and on the other small groups militants. One has nuclear weapon, the other rock, stones and a lot of brutalised people without any hope and ready to blow themselves. Terrorists are n

Without saying anything stupid, but by definition Terrorists aim to terrorize a group of people to put their objectives forward. So one can wonder what is the objective of Al Quaida, if it's really to destroy America and by extension their European allies that share the same democratic values, so provoking a civilisation clash with the Arab world would look like a better way of doing it. 9/11 was an atrocious and horrible attack, but it was more aimed to put Al Quaida under the spotlight an

I don't think you can say that Clinton was more unilateral than Bush. Looking Back, Bush was the president that had wasted the sympathy and the support generated from 9/11. Anti americanism is now much more spread that under clinton. Remember, before the war started, we could see the biggest global protest the war. In UK, it was the biggest protest ever... As youprobably now, there are no proved linked between Al quiada and Saddam. Under Saddam Iraq was secular and fundamentalism was s

Frogboy, First, I haven't written this article, I have copy on my blog, because I approve a parts of its content. I think a lot of its arguments are valid and should be respected. Second, only the foreign policy of the US is discussed there. As I'm not a US citizen, the social policy of any US president are not really touching me. I don't have to vote in US, I prefer countries with more reliable polling system. I'm not registered democrat, I'm not even democrat, I don't know what my pol
