The Destiny of this Pageant Lies in the Kingdom of Oil

By Jim Lobe

In a distinct echo of the tactics they pursued to encourage U.S. intervention in
the Balkans and Iraq, a familiar clutch of neo-conservatives appealed Friday for
the United States and NATO to "immediately" prepare military action to help bring
down the regime of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

War Über Alles

By Paul Craig Roberts

War makes money for the politically connected. While the flag-waving population

rolling in the mega-millions.
