tells us in war reason #47, is to establish multi-ethnic
democracy (in a
region where the nationalists have won all the elections) and the
rule of
law. To do this, the U.S. violates international law, by
launching an
attack on a sovereign nation (as repellent as its rulers are),
and the
president violates U.S. law. But somehow this will reinforce the
rule of
law in the long run. Ingenious. >

Comrade D., listen not to the imperialists' forked-tongues but
look to their foul deeds. Rule of law is a capitalist
construction which they knock down and rebuild at their leisure.
Their aim is not human liberation but expansion of the imperial
mandate over their once-and-future collaborator, the hideous
Slobbo. The first principle is the liberation of Kosovars, their
right to self-determination in the face of an oppressor for whom
legitimacy is forfeit. By dint of his bestial, anti-popular
suppression of the Kosovar minority, the hideous Slobbo certifies
his incapacity to rule justly over a democratic, secular state.
Dwell not on the hypocrisies of imperialism, but on the strivings
of the people against the oppressor.
