The 'no fly zone' wont fly

Campaign For Liberty Campaign For Liberty
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

03/16/11

Last week we once again heard numerous voices calling for intervention in Libya. Most say the US should establish a 'no-fly' zone over Libya, pretending that it is a benign, virtually cost-free action, and the least we could do to assist those trying to oust the Gaddaffi regime. Let us be clear about one thing: for the US to establish a 'no fly' zone over all or part of Libya would constitute an act of war against Libya...

A normal person does not want to kill and will avoid it at all costs. The military wont let you remain normal. It doesnt matter if you think you are smart enough not to get caught up in their lies. They will change you.

In Search of Monsters

By MAUREEN DOWD

The Iraq war hawks urging intervention in Libya are confident that there's no way Libya could ever be another Iraq. Of course, they never thought Iraq would be Iraq, either.

Harvard Law professor argues against WikiLeaks prosecution

Harvard Law Professor Yochai Benkler has released an article detailing U.S. government and news media censorship of WikiLeaks after the organization released the Afghan War Diary, the Iraq War Logs, and U.S. State department diplomatic cables in 2010. Among his key conclusions: The government overstated and overreacted to the WikiLeaks documents, and the mainstream news media followed suit by engaging in self-censorship. Benkler argues further that there is no sound Constitutional basis for a criminal prosecution of WikiLeaks or its leader, Julian Assange.

Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'The greatest problem our nation faces can be summed up in one word: leadership. OK, make that three words: lack of leadership. America's corporate, political, media, academic and other leaders aren't.. They're not leaders - because they refuse to stand tall, be bold, offer vision, inspire and ... well, lead. We've got too many 5-watt bulbs sitting in 100-watt sockets. They're squishing the historic can-do spirit of the American people, reducing it to a dispiriting ethic of surrender that says we-shouldn't-even-try.'

Islamophobia Can Create Radicalization

James C. Zogby, Arab American Institute: 'Let me state quite directly: Islamophobia and those who promote it are a greater threat to the United States of America than Anwar al Awlaqi and his rag-tag team of terrorists. On one level, al Awlaqi, from his cave hide-out in Yemen, can only prey off of alienation where it exists. Adopting the persona of a latter-day Malcolm X (though he seems not to have read the last chapters of the 'Autobiography' or learned the lessons of Malcolm's ultimate conversion), he appears street-smart, brash, self-assured and assertive - all of the assets needed to attract lost or wounded souls looking for certainty and an outlet for their rage. Like some parasites, al Awlaqi cannot create his own prey. He must wait for others to create his opportunities, which until now have been isolated and limited - a disturbed young man here, an increasingly deranged soldier there.'
