Imperialism and "dictators'
By Tim Anderson
In its drive for a "new middle east' the great power is
moving against every single independent state in the oil-rich region. One by
one they are being set up for destruction.
Strategic control is pursued through two linked Pentagon doctrines:
"broad spectrum dominance', a military, economic and ideological subjugation; and
the globalist "destroying disconnectedness'.
In its ideological war imperialism tries to legitimise
itself with human rights claims: the protection of civilian populations and
women; its targets are "dictatorships'.
But given that the imperial power is the grand dictator --
unaccountable, brutal and overwhelming -- who or what are these other
"dictatorships'?
Anyone with a little history would recall that the empire itself,
not that long ago, actually set up or backed a large number of subordinate military
dictatorships: for example in South Korea, pre-revolutionary Cuba, Iran, Indonesia,
Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Haiti, Uruguay, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and
Egypt. They can't be referring to these.
So who or what are these new "dictatorships'?
