The Israel Lobby
March 2nd, 2006
For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in 1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread ‘democracy’ throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardised not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the US been willing to set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries was based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives, but neither explanation can account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the US provides.

Blackwater
November 13th, 2005
I was talking to Kent last night about (among other things), Blackwater, the security firm (or private militia if you prefer), that’s being providing “security services” in Iraq, and more recently in New Orleans, where, according to this article, at least some of them were deputised and given the power to use lethal force. It would also seem that Blackwater and other similar firms are hiring top Military and Pentagon staff. I can’t remember all the sources I found, but Kent was interested, so I thought I’d put these here.
At the same time this article (also from The Nation, I’m not sure how I ended up there, it was probably from an article on The Guardian or BBC News sites) goes into how monkey boy has hired some lawyer (and family friend) with no experience of health issues to “[take] charge of the nation’s health and security with an all-out war on the flu”.
Um…
Just thought I’d share.
And I think I might go order one of those Blackwater Hoodies….
And check out the safest vehicle on Earth.
