POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
I honestly do not think "the world" fears for
anything like that claim.
The United States and those mindlessly repeating its
prepackaged phrases say they fear.
But what the United States genuinely fears is that this
whole elaborate charade of mercenaries and misdirected idealists and smuggled
weapons is going to fail.
After all, they've put years of effort and a great deal of
money into these black operations.
In view of America’s bloody record, how could anyone there
fear for a massacre anyway?
They're busy murdering people daily with death-drones, and
they've already killed several thousand in several countries.
They're still running a special-forces Murder Incorporated operation
in Afghanistan.
They left Iraq in a shambles with a million dead, two
million refugees, no up-to-date services operating, and not a hint of a genuine
democracy.
They left three million corpses in Vietnam.
They were responsible for the million or so who died in
Cambodia after they destabilized the government with the same kind of crap
they're doing in Pakistan.
And American politicians show no shame in trying to outdo
their tokens of support for Israel, the most blood-soaked per-capita government
on earth.
As for much of the world, looking honestly at the situation,
what they see is a government trying to defend itself against a proxy army put
together by foreigners, and that is what armies anywhere are supposed to do.
No, there are no genuine fears of massacre.
