The
unjustified U.S. invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan -not only the
greatest foreign policy blunder in U.S. history- but war crimes in the
eyes of the court of world opinion, the United Nations-completely
destabilized the Middle East without bringing a whiff of " freedom " and
" democracy " to any people there. And what is so great about the
American democracy- visible in Washington, D.C.- that we ordinary
Americans should be so evangelical about it ?
Russian imperialist interests are not less compelling than Washington's . When it is all over Vladimir Putin might prove as worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize as our very own Henry Kissinger.
But " socialist " candidate for president of the United States , Bernie Sanders,should remind the voters of the words of Eugene V. Debs : " The only just war is CLASS WAR ! "
Clearly the U.S. government has no moral authority ( Abu Ghraib , Guantanamo ,etc. ) to LEAD a war against terrorism anywhere on the planet. And let us good citizens quarantine AMERICAN DEMOCRACY . The world does not need it !
NO SUPPORT FOR IMPERIALIST WARS .
