Iraq, Libya, and Lessons Not Learned

This is how peaceful demonstators are treated in “liberated” Iraq:

” Iraqi officials say at least 11 people have been killed and dozens injured in a day of violent clashes across the country between security forces and demonstrators.

“At least nine demonstrators were killed in separate clashes in three northern Iraqi cities during what was described as a ‘Day of Rage.’ In the western Anbar province at least two people were killed as security forces and demonstrators battled.”

Let those who are screeching  about the alleged “emergency” that somehow requires us to intervene in Libya, to “prevent a massacre,” take a good look at what intervention has wrought in Iraq.

    Such a statement expresses the dubious idea that anyone among the Amerikan Interventionist Class gives two pieces of dried rodent excrement or a damn about what happens to "peaceful protesters" in the foreign lands under the Imperium's thumb.

    1. I think the statement is perhaps aimed at those amongst the public and the leftist interventionists who still support such intervention on the grounds that it is helpful. And not at the coldly calculating neocons and Global elite who see only another opportunity to get their foot in the door in yet another area of the oil-producing world.

  2. Could they do it in order to keep Ghdaffi in power.Since when they like to see the masses govern themselves.
