Re: "Dreamscape Redmond:"

[WS:] What is the point of berating him? Not only does he point out some clearly demonstrable factual errors in Cockburn's piece, but his logic seems sound as well. By that logic, the US involvement in the war against the Nazi Germany was fully justified, even though few would argue that its purposes were altruistic. The US had clearly its own interest in mind then, and so does the EU in its action in Libya and that holds for about any other country when it gets involved in a "peacekeeping" action. So what? The real question is what is the bigger evil? Clearly Nazism was a bigger evil than the US hegemony,. Does the same apply to Gaddafi and current "peacekeeping" action?
