More from The Man Who Would Be President, whose "values-based" interventionism is now being termed "the Lieberman Doctrine." Sounds suitably presidential. Below are some excerpts from a recent Hartford Courant report. - NC-- Lieberman's Foreign Policy: Propagate U.S. Values -- by DAVID LIGHTMAN, Washington Bureau Chief [January 14, 2002] WASHINGTON -- Joe Lieberman's view of the United States' role in the world can be described in one phrase: Promote American values. He routinely speaks of the "primacy of values" and how this country must have a foreign and military policy that is "values-based and fully engaged." And in a speech today, he urges the country to pursue a two-track foreign policy, one that deals with the current terrorist threat but also pursues a longer-range strategy of promoting American values in Muslim countries. His address, heavily publicized in Washington, will be given at Georgetown University as part of that school's Lecture Fund series. It serves three purposes - it details Lieberman's foreign policy positions; it reviews what he learned on last week's trip to Central Asia; and it helps position him as a leading Democratic Party voice on international affairs. The Democrats are without any single public spokesman for foreign policy. Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle, D-S.D., is more interested in domestic matters, and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr., D-Del., who is touring the same areas as Lieberman, is not as well-known as the Connecticut senator. Lieberman, the Democrats' 2000 vice presidential candidate, has the background, the platform and the opportunity, and he's taking it. What drives the Lieberman doctrine is that he believes that it is this country's duty to spread its views of democracy and faith in God - its values - around the world. The next great challenge, he will say today, is to promote those values in Muslim countries; doing so, he believes, is very much is in the United States' interest because it aids this country's national security. In a December speech to the moderate Democratic Leadership Council, Lieberman defined the war on terrorism as pitting "the medieval zealotry and religious fanaticism of a holy war against the universalistic, humanitarian, democratic, tolerant ideals of America," he said, "ideals which, incidentally, are themselves faith-based." Lieberman has strong feelings about this. He has said this country's "fundamental principles" are "as much on the line in this war against terrorism as they were in our battles with Nazism and communism." That's why, he said last week as he prepared to return from Afghanistan, the United States' immediate steps should involve diplomatic efforts in the India-Pakistan and Middle East conflicts, the ouster of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, and a refusal to deal with Iran or any other country that will not cooperate in rooting out terrorists. In fact, he is expected to say today, the United States should be prepared to challenge countries that harbor terrorists, regardless of whether we get help from those countries. And he is expected to continue his willingness to embrace and support insurgent movements in renegade nations. There has also been a steady drumbeat of criticism for Lieberman's 11-year-old view that the United States should seek to militarily overthrow the current government of Iraq. Perhaps the biggest question surrounding the Lieberman doctrine is how far the United States should be prepared to go in defending and promoting a values-based foreign policy. Should it overlook human rights violations in China? Should it support moderate regimes that deny their citizens certain civil liberties? And most important, just what should the United States' commitment be to these countries? Clearly, Lieberman said last week, the United States should play an important diplomatic role, "to use our fully flexed muscles to mediate some of the regional disputes that will only become more incendiary if we remain distant from them." Lieberman has long been unafraid to suppo

(10:50) Sabra and Shatilla warlord killed in Beirut bombing By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff BEIRUT, Lebanon - Former Lebanese Christian warlord Elie Hobeika was killed in a bomb explosion at his house a short time ago, witnesses said. Hobeika, 45, led the right-wing Phalangist Lebanese Forces militia forces who scythed through the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Muslim west Beirut, slaughtering hundreds of men, women and children, in 1982. Several months before the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Hobeika was assigned liasion officer with the IDF. Following the war, he turned his back on Israel and joined the pro-Syrian camp in Lebanon, Israel Radio reported. A car bomb exploded today outside his house in Beirut's eastern Hazmieh neighborhood. Lebanese security officials said Hobeika had just entered his Humvee, a military style armored truck, with three body guards inside when the explosion occurred at 9:40 a.m. The explosion killed Hobeika and at least three of his bodyguards, police officials said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. It was not immediately clear whether the bomb was planted in Hobeika's Humvee, which was left a charred ruin. The Voice of Lebanon, radio station of the Christian Phalange faction, said the bomb was in a limousine parked nearby. Ambulances, fire engines, civil defense and police vehicles rushed to the scene of the explosion just off the Beirut-Damascus highway five kilometers east of Beirut. Several buildings were heavily damaged and a huge fire broke out, said the officials, speaking on customary condition of anonymity. Four charred bodies, including that of Hobeika, were taken to a morgue while five injured people were rushed to hospital for treatment, the officials said. Voice of Lebanon and Lebanon's Future TV said the number of dead was five, including a man standing on the balcony of his nearby apartment when the explosion occurred. Hobeika will be remembered for the Sabra and Shatilla massacre in September 1982. The Christian militiamen went into the refugee camps after their leader, President-elect Bashir Gemayel, was assassinated in a bombing at Phalange headquarters initially blamed on the Palestinians. It turned out that Gemayel was eliminated by the Syrians, who opposed his alliance with the Israelis. Lebanese sources said Hobeika met with a Belgian parliamentary delegation this week in Beirut and agreed to testify against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in a war crimes trial that may be held later this year in a Brussels court. A group of Palestinian survivors of the Sabra and Shatilla massacres have filed suit in Belgium against Sharon, who was minister of defense during the invasion of Lebanon. The complaint filed in June with a Belgian judge demanded that Sharon be indicted for crimes against humanity in accordance with Belgian law that allows for such trials of foreigners in another country. The complaint did not mention Hobeika's role. Hobeika has said he had "irrefutable proof" of his innocence in the killings. A Belgian appeals court is expected to rule on March 6 on whether Sharon should stand trial. To read more about the possible upcoming trial, click here. Hobeika served in several cabinets as, variously, minister of electriticity, refugee resettlement, and handicapped people. Hobeika's death echoed the turmoil of Lebanon's war years. During the 1975-90 conflict, numerous car bombs by rival militias targeted politicians, militia leaders and civilians as a way to settle scores. Two presidents and a prime minister were assassinated by explosions. In 1992, police said that there were 3,641 car bombings during the 1975-90 civil war. They killed 4,386 people and wounded 6,784. Today's bombing was the first major car bombing in Beirut since a 1994 explosion at a church that killed 11 worshippers and the first political assassination of a leader since 1995, when a Muslim cleric was shot on a Beirut street. In other Lebanese news, IAF warplanes struck at suspected Hizbullah targets in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon yesterday, after the Muslim terrorist group broke a three-month period of cross-border quiet with a barrage of mortar and anti-tank missile fire on IDF outposts in the Mount Dov region of the Golan. click here. --- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST ==^ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9WB2D Or send an
