Thank God For Humanitarian Bombs?
Each day that goes by gives the White House more reason to regret its Libyan adventure. The overthrow of Gaddafi was a good thing, but from both the humanitarian and strategic points of view, nothing has changed. The war continues to look at best like a diversion, at worst as if the US fell for a cynical French ploy to get oil in a way that damaged our long term strategic interests.Scattered reports of torture in Libyan jails and unrest in Libyan towns are beginning to coalesce into a picture of the exciting new reality created by last years humanitarian war-to-protect. If Amnesty International knows what it is talking about, Libyans are being tortured to death by the people we saved from Gaddafi and installed in power. Surprisingly, the Wilsonian hawks who gave us this inspiring policy havent yet sent a new barrage of airstrikes to stop the new round of brutality and bloodshed. Posted by: tipper 2012-01-28 |
