Venezuela has oil and Chavez is dead? I think its time for some "democracy."

Don't Americans have "the right to know when their government believes it's allowed to kill them"? As Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., put it last week, you'd think that's "not too much to ask."

Of course they dont have that right. And yes, it is too much to ask. And we need to tax more. These drones dont pay for themselves.

The Second Anniversary of What?: The New Libya

---

So, as I have mentioned in the past, one of my best friends is a half-Egyptian union field organizer. Back before the imperialist intervention, he had sent me an e-mail asking me to sign a petition for the UN to establish a humanitarian "no-fly zone" around Benghazi.

We've been friends for a long time, and although he has never exactly shared my politics, he does test positive for "revolutionary" and "socialist" and I was disappointed that he had forwarded what I considered to be a pro-imperialist petition. I, of course, would do no such thing.

Later, after the imperialists violated their own UN resolution and started bombing the whole country, I made a joke about him "being spoonfed a bunch of bourgeois lies" and he got really mad and started defending himself. "If they had just set up a no-fly zone..."

Recently, I visited him in Vermont and he said, "You know, in retrospect, I wish I had taken a more pro-Qadaffi position..."

Although I have never taken a pro-Qadaffi position, I felt vindicated, although I did resist the urge to say "I told you so."

My favorite part of the humanitarian intervention in Libya was when NATO, whose stated goal was to set up a no-fly zone until Gaddafi agreed to a ceasefire and negotations, ignored Gaddafi's calls for a ceasefire and return to negotations and continued bombing a bunch of non-flying stuff. Man I cant wait.
