[lbo-talk] Suspicious silence

[Carrol Cox]

Doug "I was persuaded by Gilbert Achcar's argument that a little NATO
bombing might be to the good in Libya, but I don't think things turned out
so well. I'm back to thinking that nothing good can come when delivered by
B-52s and Tomahawk missiles."

Indeed.

For residents of the U.S. Knee-jerk anti-imperialism is a vital premise for
considering all news from the rest of the world.

I can't think of a single action abroad of the U.S. since the surrender of
Germany in 1945 that has not been a disaster for the world -- and
particularly for the people of any nation "helped" by the U.S.

P.S. I am serious about "knee-jerk" anti-imperialism, including indifference
to the analysis upon which that sort of anti-imperialism is grounded. What
counts is the superficial reacton.
