By now, it’s not exactly a secret that the U.S. government has no consistent commitment to its universalist bombast about fostering democracy or even fighting terrorism. One of my favorite examples is its cheap propagandistic embrace of the April 2005 elections in Lebanon followed by its support for the 2006 Israeli war – a war that, incidentally, wrecks the theory of the “democratic peace” so beloved of political scientists. You’ll all have your own – the consistent refusal to extradite Luis Posada Carriles to stand trial for killing 73 people in his attack on a Cuban airliner, the need to be dragged kicking and screaming by Ayatollah Sistani and the U.N. Security Council to agree to elections in Iraq (followed by making a virtue of necessity and loudly claiming credit for them), the support for a coup attempt in Venezuela; the list is not short. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that would surprise me at this point. When Bush allowed the Israeli nazi Olmert to bomb the hell out of Lebanon, I knew that this White House is capable of anything. It makes me sick.
