Sure, the West is trying to take out Gaddafi, but it probably wouldn't stand for 20 years of "liberation." Who knows? I think it's simple dicking around, but there may be some plan behind it.Cüneythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839492265797382364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770450628194471768.post-66224300484661586952011-07-28T15:18:59.844-04:002011-07-28T15:18:59.844-04:00I'm steeling myself for the Esq article!

But we've also never really pacified the place, and I wonder if the fact that we only killed about a thousand of them to avenge our 18 has something to do with it. I mean, if there was a state, then at least there'd be a mailbox where we could send the bill.<br /><br />Maybe it's really low on the priority list for domination. I see no more strategy in our dealings with Somalia than I do in a child who steps on an anthill, watches the panic, and then repeats the process as soon as the poor bastards get a new one built.<br /><br />But yes--predatory capital is always waiting. Oh, and please read the Esquire article. I've seldom read a more glowing portrait of death squad operation. It's revoltingly fascinating.Cüneythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839492265797382364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770450628194471768.post-64639013500352449202011-07-28T13:10:51.314-04:002011-07-28T13:10:51.314-04:00my one-handed typing imposition has me using obscu...my one-handed typing imposition has me using obscurant-ish shorthand... meant to suggest that "modernization" lurks beneath the wars you mentioned... see John Perkins <i>Confessions of an Economic Hit Man</i>; see World Bank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770450628194471768.post-14577700014032984982011-07-28T12:56:37.302-04:002011-07-28T12:56:37.302-04:00Modernity is a construct and an empty label.
