NATO to US: We need more strikes in Libya
ABC News
04/03/11
NATO has asked the United States to continue participating in airstrikes over Libya through late Monday, ABC News has learned. This was done to make up for the bad weather earlier in the week that had hampered targeting of Gadhafi forces and allowed them to push the rebels back to Ajdabiyah...

The Arab Awakening, hijacked?

Western attempts to hijack the Arab Awakening are necessarily limited to those countries -- few in number -- where Washington isnt allied with the local tyrant. From the steppes of Central Asia, where US-supported potentates sit atop a growing proportion of the worlds oil supply, to the mouth of the Mediterranean, the American eagle has sheltered dozens of emirs, kings, and presidents-for-life under its overstretched wings. If the US winds up trading Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Jordan, and some of the Gulf states for Libya and possibly Syria, thats a net loss by any accounting...

Libya, the un-humanitarian intervention
Fox News Forum
by Rich Lowry
04/02/11
If President Obama's pro-Libyan War advisers wanted to create a precedent for future U.N.-sanctioned humanitarian interventions, they should have found some other war. First, for all the talk of an Obama doctrine, Obamas rationale for the war is so narrowly tailored, it basically only applies to Libya in these particular circumstances. If were going to intervene only when we can get overwhelming international support, respond quickly and with relative impunity, and notionally hand over operations to someone else immediately, thats going to mean most every conflict fails to meet the Obama test...

The president went on TV Monday evening and explained to the American people why we had to bomb Libya to keep Mohamyar Quadhaffy (editor: check this week's AP spelling style, please) from using military force against his own people, the same way Libya bombed the h... out of Texas in the spring of 1993 to keep Janet Reno from using National Guard helicopters to strafe those civilian Branch Davidian Christians in their church near Waco. ...

04/02/11
What we are observing in Libya is the rebirth of colonialism. Only this time it is not individual European governments competing for empires and resources. The new colonialism operates under the cover of 'the world community,' which means NATO and those countries that cooperate with it. NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was once a defense alliance against a possible Soviet invasion of Western Europe. Today NATO provides European troops in behalf of American hegemony...

Libya poses dangerous delusion

04/01/11
The conundrums associated with being the worlds sole superpower have been on vivid display over the past two weeks. By launching a war of choice against Libya, President Barack Obama perpetuates the unrealistic expectation that U.S. troops will be deployed on missions that have no plausible connection to national security interests...

'The Matrix' as ruling class
Liberale et Libertaire
by dL
03/31/11
From a purely economic standpoint, class theory and 'Ruling Class' lack coherence. But from an institutional standpoint, there is coherence. We can borrow from popular culture to denote this model as 'The Matrix.' And to recast Orwell, 'the Matrix' is composed of a ruling class whose objective is not necessarily wealth, but domination and a persistence of a world-view, a persistence of the hierarchical structures of the ruling class (it doesn?t matter who wields the power; as long as the institutions, the hierarchies remain unchanged)...

Since LeFevre and voluntaryists hold that aggression is wrong they realize it is a wrong means which will never lead towards individual freedom. We cannot use the weapons of tyranny; for freedom and reason are our only tools. One should never have to labor towards compelling others to accept freedom. One need only exert self-control, so as to not interfere with the freedom of others...
