The talk about torture is diverting opinion from occupation.. typical Israeli tactic create new facts on the grounds to make old ones go away.. western public opinion is mesmerized by torture because essentially western working classes are benefiting to varying degrees from the subordination of the third world and the increasing differentiation in the international division of labour along national lines.
I don't think so. The talk of torture -- which is understood to be the reality behind the lies -- is revealing the essentially uncivilized nature of the west to everyone. As for the working classes benefiting....Huh?
by the time the US and European Jews leave the near east they would have left behind so much destruction and suffering and so little oil for things to matter at all. the problem is not brutality, war in itself is ultimate ugliness and brutality. the problem is the mixing willy-nilly of second hand emotions and morality with events as they occur daily under war offensive and occupation. the occupation of Iraq was not a 'just war' nor will we see 'justice in war.' but in the meantime the 'process' of global instability will make stronger the American economy of dollars, guns and oil.
No, actually, it's revealing how weak and incompetent it is.
