On August 17, the London Guardian quoted former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev saying:
"Stop the bombing. Stop the killing. Stop the destruction. It's degenerated into killing people and destruction, and I think this is really defiance. It's defiant behavior."
Let's go to the United Nations and discuss whether the current policy is acceptable. I say no. Poor democracy. Under the flag of democracy all kinds of things are done."
Often, it's lawless, ruinous, lethal, roguish, and through the barrel of a gun, not good faith efforts for peace, social justice, good will and fairness.
A Final Comment
Libya's conflict is far from over. Webster Tarpley calls events playing out "a carefully cynically planned military operation by the NATO high command, the US playing a very important role in it." In fact, it's the lead role in all NATO wars. Washington doesn't take orders. It gives them.
At issue now is mid-September when the UN resolution authorizing continuing operations runs out. Without it, junior partner nations will have a hard time participating. As a result, "there's a hysterical attempt by NATO to put an end to this."
It's why they're "carpet bombing civilians with no concern about casualties," just a rage to get it over with, including with Apache helicopters, machine-gunning civilians in streets.
