Bush now planning to attack Syria: Galloway
2005-03-01
British lawmaker and leading anti-war loonie campaigner George Galloway Monday expressed apprehension that US president George Bush (Junior) is not mindful about ''establishing democracies'' in the Middle East and Arab countries but is planning ''fresh attacks against Syria.,'' reports BSS. "The capitalistic imperialist forces led by the USA never took any action against the dictators in the Arab world but launched offensives against those dictators who did not obey their formula," the visiting UK lawmaker observed at a seminar at Dhaka Sheraton hotel.

The Centre for Democratic Practice (CDP) organized the seminar titled "Crisis in current politics." CDP convenor Mahbubur Rob Sadi moderated the session. Professor Muzaffar Ahmed, BNP leader Shamsul Alam Chowdhury, Awami league lawmaker Suranjit Sengupta, left leader Haider Akbar Khan Rono, CPB leader Mujahidul Islam Selim, convenor of the committee for protection of oil and gas from foreign exploiters Engineer Mohammad Shahidullah, organizer of Friends of Bangladesh Dr Mohammad Motahar, peace activist Ms Nazma Shikha and cultural activist Pijush Bandapaddya, among others, took part in the discussion.

George Galloway said the unipolar character of the new international world order has emerged as a real disaster. He noted that equilibrium of the international political system has been destabilized following the collapse of the Soviet system. The new international capitalistic order is intensifying the process of exploitation in the post-Soviet era.
George longs for the good old days when Socialists like him were relevent. Perhaps we should borrow the Doctor's Tardis and send him back.
The Scottish leader expressed the hope that Bangladesh would follow the path of democracy amid all odds and turbulence in the international arena. He also observed that Bangladesh can develop the power to withstand all natural calamities if it can enjoy a vibrant economic state. He urged Bangladesh political leaders to engage their best efforts to bolster country''s economy and its positive image abroad.

#9  British lawmaker and leading anti-war loonie campaigner George Galloway Monday expressed apprehension that US president George Bush (Junior) is not mindful about ''establishing democracies'' in the Middle East and Arab countries but is planning ''fresh attacks against Syria.,''

So 1) he admits Bush IS establishing democracies in the middle east, and 2) despite the facts, is worried that the US will take out yet ANOTHER dictatorship.

I imagine it's the "dick" in "Dictatorship" that turns him on.

#4  Geeze, at least Ted Kennedy (our fav socialists) had enough sense to keep his mouth shut. BTW I don't think it will be necessary to "attack" Syria becuase it is imploding all on its own. After Lebenon break away, Baby Assads days will be numbered in double digits.

#3  "capitalist imperialists" ... hmmm ... northern ireland ... hmmm ... etc. etc. ... George, haven't you got alot more pressing matters closer to home? ... self agrandizement is all fine and wonderful but really, is there any place for your "old school" shrill and idiotic dribble? It adds little to anyone's understanding of the world and god knows, Bangladesh deseerves better than that. ... Why bother going there if you have nothing usefull to offer George? ... I'd say George is "exploiting" his position, the Scots and the Bangladeshis to further his supersized and morbidly obese sense of self-importance. ... just my opinion.
