What on Earth is OZ thinking of? The protesters have it wrong: this war campaign does not emanate from oil lust or from colonialist appetite. It emanates primarily from a simplistic rectitude that aspires to uproot evil by force. But the evil of Saddam Hussein's regime, like the evil of Osama bin Laden, is deeply and extensively rooted in vast expanses of poverty, despair and humiliation. The hell! Saddam's is rooted in secret police, torture and terror. bin Laden's is rooted also in tyranny that creates the poverty, despair and humiliation. The Bush bunch have a point, if they really think the way OZ says they do. Perhaps it is even more deeply rooted in the terrible, raging envy that America has aroused for many years ? not only in countries of the third world, but also in the broad boulevards of European society. What reason have European peaceniks have to envy the US? The third worlders are mad at the US because it has behaved so capriciously, from their point of view. "The US is always on the side of the dictators." Is OZ a socialist?
